australian open - day 11

while i was listening to nalbandian/baghdatis match and not sure who should i support. afterall, nalbandian got the better chance to beat federer in the final - if federer reaches the final. while baghdatis might give federer a surprise too if he wins.

and after his win, do you think he is capable to become the next roger federer (like he "suddenly" appear from 2003 wimbledon?) or rafael nadal of 2006? read his profile at junior tennis... and why is he still being profile at junior tennis?

Nalbandian doesn't hit a big serve and doesn't have a monster forehand winner that knocks opponents off the court. Baghdatis does. He sets up the point, opens up areas and, boom, hits a winner. He changes gears and paces with his ground stroke and tempo. Nalbandian, by contrast, starts the same way and ends the same way, whether he's up or down. It's very predictable. The toughest thing for clay court players to do is to put their opponent away. from espn.com

my favourite girl is out of the tournament. sigh! not sure whether i'll be watching the match this saturday because of chinese new year's eve reunion dinner. even if i watch, i wouldn't know who i'm going to support. the amelie-i'm kinda a loser-mauresmo or hh?

here's a question for you: do you think players have to apologize for lat call? not like they planned for the lat but the ball was just coincidentally touches the net. IMHO (yeah rite!), i don't think they should!
