australian open - day 2

damn, i was just saying i wanted to see more of monfils, gasquet and the young american, donald young... suddenly 2 of them were defeated in the first round! another youngster - which i really don't want to see, andy murray, is out of the tournament too. i never like murray, he's cocky!

dennis istomin

(dennis istomin, federer's 1st round opponent. is he reading on how to play the world no.1?)

i call my boss early in the morning to tell him "boss, i'm going to run some errands and will come in late"... in fact, i was at home watching federer/istomin. well, it was federer's routine match. nothing spectacular hence, no comment from me. :-)

i was following the result of clijsters match online. she was trailing in the first set 3-1 and i thought she was going down... luckily my favourite girl came back strong and trashed her opponent 6-0 in the 2nd set. same goes to amelie. i thought she was going out but she came back in 3 sets.

though all top 20 female players are in this aussie open but the seeded players slowly bowing out one by one.

hewitt's match was very exciting too. through the online radio, i didn't hear that much of "come on" though. is he changing his behaviour slowly? :-) i wonder what happened to those players that was expected to win easily but not. eg. hewitt/vik, amelie/sun tiantian, davydenko/karlovic and kiefer/srichaphan? is that the sign of them fading away slowly?

i also wonder what happened to the german rainer schuttler? in 2003 and 2004 , i heard a lot about him and suddenly he disappear and no where to be seen. he was defeated in the first round yesterday by another german. sigh...

and i got the chance to watch grosjean/philippoussis: totally one sided affair for grosjean. another wild card wasted on philippoussis. if i'm not mistaken, he has the record of losing on all his 1st round - which he got to play because of a wild card, last year while watching him, i feel so sympathy for him. how he survives through out the years? when was the last time he wins something? doesn't he need money to buy food? ... and did you managed to hear him swears on the 3rd set? hehehe... it was clearly heard on the tv!

congratulations to hingis for a successful come back.

"The way I've been playing, I didn't really care who I was going to playing first round here."
Haas shows the value of positive thinking.
"If you guys expect me to play well every single match and every single tournament then it's not going to happen." Andy Murray lets the media know there may be more bad days to come.
yes murray, don't think you will be any success in future too!
