Hopman Cup: And this is how you put on a show
 

People who had tickets for yesterday's night session at the Hopman Cup really got their money's worth.

First they saw the #1 player in the world playing like the #1 player in the world.




Then they got lovely Ana playing a singles match against Malek.

And to finish, they got the #1 player in the world being the natural-born entertainer that he is. Here's the full doubles match, worth seeing it all, because in comedy, timing is everything: Nole is a natural.



A few highlights:









The crowd loved every minute of it. The arena was packed for the Nole-Haas match and most fans remained for the mixed doubles.

Serbia vs Spain in the final.

Ajde. :)

Will somebody inform this Medina person Hopman Cup is an exho not Grand Slam.

What's wrong with wanting to win? Hopman Cup matches are taken sariously by players, unless it's a dead rubber. I bet her win over Ana will mean a lot to her. And she's a great doubles player...


Spain deserved to win. Congratulations to Spain. :)

Ana and Nole are really loved in Perth, I'm sure they'll be invited next year. 4th time lucky maybe. :)

There's nothing wrong in wanting to win(even in an exho)but her celebration was over the top to say the least.

:lol: I don't want to go down the road of which celebrations are over the top and which aren't, our man has been criticised precisely because of his celebrations, which I find great fun to watch and others find classless, it's a question of taste... I don't care about celebrations: I care about sportsmanship on court (our man is #1 on that score as well).

Also: a celebration tells you how much a victory means.

Ana should be proud that a victory over her meant so much to Medina Garrigues. ;)
