[esther]

its so weird who they choose to put on Rod Laver...
Jurgen Melzer (AUT) vs. Paradorn Srichaphan (THA)[11] instead of ferrero vs meligeni?

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

Well the AUS Open is the Australian and the Asian Open from what i'm hearing from McNamee.
and Paradorn is a big star in Asia so it makes sense.

 

[esther]

Yeah but always they put weird matches on there that you wouldn't think should be there..not complaining just saying!

 

[ktwtennis]

Go Ferrero AND Paradorn!!

 

[Hyde']

Go Paradorn !

 

[Leo7]

Good Luck:

Juanqui
Lindsay
Carlos
Dinara

 

[Lindsayfan]

i dont understand why they put Lindsay on Margareth Court instead of Vodafone Arena.she's a former champion and she's much better than henin or Hantuchova!

btw Good Luck to all my faves today plus LINDSAY!

i agree, LF. they're not giving Lindsay the respect she deserves. who cares that she has a low seeding; Davenport is definitely a bigger contender than Justine or Dani.

 

[RaVeR]

Good luck Mario Ancic!
