Default Aussie Open

It’s great to be here in Au this time of the year for AO tennis.
I won’t ruin it for anyone who recorded the game throughout the night but some great tennis, and a few upsets.

Yup and last night sent one wanker home....thank god....on another note our kanuck is still in it....229mph serve

Guess who,the wanker is....plays with a maternity dress on, looks like Mike Tyson....built to push over tree's....




Great tennis to watch!

That would be a little fast on the serve wouldn't it?

Maybe he's really bulked up and beat the world record by some 70 mph.

Milos was serving fairly steady first serves at 220 km/ hr.
His match against the Greek pretty boy Tsits, wasn’t even close.
Rogers game against Aussy Millman was unreal, he was down 8-4 in a 5th set 10 pt tie breaker and still pulled it out.
Milos now takes on Cilic tomorrow and he should cruise past him also into the quarters.

That I can buy. 230mph seemed a little hot. Guy on the other side would be left holding a smoldering carbon fiber handle.

That's the biggest ping pong table I've ever seen Ok back to our regularly scheduled program. There have been some awesome serves, passing shots and rallies. More to come for sure as the field get's thinned out.

On my time off swing from offshore in Perth til Feb 10.
Our son just arrived from Edm so we will see if he wants to go to Mel for 2-3 days next week.
But as the draws go on, accom and tickets will be harder to get.
We are trying for a combo of some AO matches and Uluru rock, but it’s hot this time of the year.
If we can’t make this work, no harm, Au TV has 3 channels ea at 12-14 hrs per day coverage.
Milos plays Cilic in aprx an hr from now.
