[Awesome4hand]

not really...Paradorn isn't playing well lately.... there's a chance for a big upset Lin...

though I wish they didn't have to meet in the 1st round

 

[kukka]

Best of luck to Wayne Ferreira & Jan-Michael Gambill!!!

 

[lin]

yes, Paradorn's not played well lately, but he is still tough for Michael...

 

[Aphrodite]

He has a lot of pressure after he lost the first round of the last tournament So, this lesson will encourage him to do better here
In Thailand,Had a lot of news about him I think he read it already
Anyway good luck to you
Srichaphan
:angel:
Let's take the fourth title back to Thailand:angel:

 

[Experimentee]

Poor Michael Chang, its his farewell year and first he draws Agassi and now Paradorn

 

[Lindsayfan]

Go Andy,Mark,Todd (sorry Davide),Jamie and Paradorn!

 

[King Aaron]

Good luck

James
Brian V
Mark
Bob
Paradorn
Michael! Bad draw for second week in a row

 

[Awesome4hand]

This is a tough tourney to pick a winner... Roddick on form should win it...but I dunno if he's recovered from his wrist injury...

Blake...Ferreira...Gambill.....Srichaphan.... Philippoussis....and Davydenko...Sanguinetti will challenge him tho...

I pick Srichaphan v Philippoussis, Roddick v Blake semis... with Roddick and Srichaphan fighting it out for the title.... Paradorn winning in 3

 

[croat123]

Ajmo Zeljko!

 

[jirobkk]

Best of luck to Paradorn.

I hope you are getting better after Wednesday's lost due to jetlag.

I know Chang is your favorite player since he is American-Asia and you are very much respecting him. But NO MERCY on court.

C'mon Paradorn, send Chang packing.

 

[Mr. Man]

Paradorn ain't gonna get to the final. He'll lose early.

I hope It's either a Roddick vs. Gambill or Roddick vs. Philippoussis final. Either one of them can win.

 

[Aphrodite]

OMG
I just see it so many American player here (almost)
and I hope you do well again
Paradorn

Hi P' Jiro
Good Luck

[Awesome4hand]

Chang's draw is rigged

Paradorn ain't gonna get to the final. He'll lose early.

I hope It's either a Roddick vs. Gambill or Roddick vs. Philippoussis final. Either one of them can win.

Well good for you mate... I hope any of those 3 wins too.... especially Philippoussis ... will do his confidence no harm...

As for Paradorn losing in the first round....hmm...unlikely...then again....there's a chance of a big upset....Paradorn is not in good form...

Well.... he shouldn't lose in the first round to Chang...no disrespect intended... Chang was and is still my idol.... but he's getting on..... this match to many ppl's eye is viewed as the changing of the guards so to speak.... I betya the organiser rigged the draw..... the chance of Chang drawing two top seeds in a row is highly improbable... 1/32 * 1/32 * 2 (actually not that low... 2/964....> 1/487... if my maths is right...)

Anyway I think it's rigged mainly becos they figured Chang will probably bow out in the 1st round anyway (again no disrespect...on form he's not that hot is he?)... might as well make the most of it ...cash in on his popularity and da fact dat he's gonna retire at seasons end make it an attractive billing to play him against the two most popular players in each tourney...Agassi and Srichaphan...

1. Agassi and Chang have been rivals since junior days...and I think they are good friends.... better be killed by a fren than a foe..

2. Srichaphan and Chang are both of Asian descent.... Chang was the top Asian player ever (reaching as high as 2)..... and Srichaphan has the potential to do the same.....so it's appropriate..


Well.... dun take me seriously.... I'm just having a go at the organisers because it pisses me off to see Chang getting such tough draws 2 weeks in a bloody row!!!!!!!!!

:fiery:
