Phillippousis too. That guy is always injured.

Get the break again Seb!

Phillippousis too. That guy is always injured.

Guille will play some challenger and after Aussie Open in Vina del Mar

Dent is still injured, will maybe not return

NOT return!!? thats sad....swell serve and voller:sad: ....

Martin has tried to return last year-played 8 matches with 3-3 stats and 2 withdrawals....guess still some injury precautions and luck of fitness....

Nalby holds 4-4

Verkerk was expected to play in Melbourne, but withdrew, because it seemed too early :(

I hope he will play RG at latest

Its a bit annoying that there is no hawkeye on this court. Couple of calls looked very dodgy including the last one.

Nalbandian choking in set 2 too

Grosjean 7:5 6:4 :worship:

What a shot by Grosjean. 2-0 Surely Nalby can't come back again.

ok david....WTF.

I don't want to have to give up hope of a nalby-nadal semi just yet.

Seba :woohoo:

What a shot by Grosjean. 2-0 Surely Nalby can't come back again.

he's that kind of player you should never give up ;)

fat dave doesnt start playing till hes down a couple sets, too little too late?

he's that kind of player you should never give up ;)
I hope he loses though.

If nadal wins in straights will they put another match on vodafone i.e. Murray?

i think they put another match on Rod Laver after Nadal, maybe a WTA match :rolleyes:

true vodafone looks free in the evening though I'm scared if I go to bed ill miss the match cos they will move it earlier

there are still 3 matches after Nalby - Seb on the schedule and i think very long ones

hope they will put berdych/tursunov on rod laver arena

Nadal 4-0*

Nadal will bagel Stan in the first

this is a bit sad Nadal can use this match to practise shots it looks like, Wawrkina only wins points when Nadal trys coming into the net etc.
