Yeah, and Bob Cole (hack, spew, splat) has been awarded the OoC. From one doddering fool to another... so t'speak.

Milos just beat Nishikori in the semi-finals in Brisbane (6-7, 7-6, 7-6). He'll play the winner of Feds vs. baby Fed.

/I think those calling for an Isner-like slide are a tad premature, Isner by the way lost to Vasek Popisil in Perth earlier this week.

Be cool if he could start the year with a big win. Give him some confidence going into Melbourne.

Great effort from Milos, but he dropped a tough one to Roger earlier today (6-4, 6-7, 6-4). It was Feds 1,000 tour victory (incredible).

Yeah, Federer's incredible for sure, ? is he the best male tennis player of all time?

Short answer: Yes

Long answer: Absolutely yes

Milos, who cut your hair, man?

What's next, the Ljubicic?

Of course, when you're young and rich, the ladies will flock. Nicely done, Milos.

Aussie Open update - Genie wiped the court with her first two opponents and is through to the 3rd round, Milos plays American Donald Young tonight whikle Vasek also plays his 2nd round match after dispatching Amercan Sam Querrey in a tough 5 setter.

speaking of deflated balls

Genie through to round 4, Milos and Vasek both through to round 3. Go Go!

Feds is toast (beaten by Andreas Seppi of Italy in the 3rd round).

Milos to play Lopez late tonight for a berth in the quarter-finals, Genie will next face Maria on Monday.

 

[Dacks]

Good 5 set victory for Milos. He needs more of those, they are good pressure tests, and it was nice to see him dominate the 5th after blowing a few match points. Good resilience, which is something I thought he'd lacked up to now. Also quite a few breaks.

Hopes are low against Djokovic, but I'd like to see how close he can play him, maybe take a set.

I was hoping that Milos would have won that 4th set tie-breaker as I knew I would fade before the 5th set was completed. Quite happy to see that he prevailed 6-3 in the 5th set. You're right, Dacks, Joker is going to be a tough match, but who gave Seppi a chance over Federer a few nights ago?
