He's not alone there though.

Interesting that in all 4 Grand Slam tournaments last year, Hewitt was knocked out by the eventual winner.

:o Sorry, I'm too late with this tip, but I thought Kuznetsova had a good chance against Sharapova today and should have been favourite.

I like Hrbaty this arvo against Safin, showed good form prior to AO at the Hopman Cup and seems to have carried it through the minor rounds in week 1

I also think Federer at 1.20 is well worth it - i havent seen a price like that for federer in a while in a hd to hd, although agassi took him to five sets at flushing meadows i think feds should have too much variety for the ever consistant agassi

Today i took:

Federer
x
Hrbaty

Federer
x
Kuznetsova

and Federer just straight out

I'm a bit concerned about Kuznetsova though it seems sharapova is starting to break her with more and more ease - but Kusnetsova is up a set

I think beauty will outdo the beast.

Yeah her game has fallen apart in the second set, lets just hope she doesnt drop the bundle completely in the third

Yeah, I think I might have got this one wrong. I'd love to see Maria win today actually but I thought her form had not been good enough and Kuznetsova had been impressive in the earlier rounds.

sharapova is a slow starter, i backed both players @ 3.80/4.00 respectively in 3 sets. could make decent profits backing in sharapovas matches this way

Yeah, I think that's three 3-setters in a row where she's lost the 1st set. She's a bit like Hewitt in her ability to guts it out and come back. You would have thought that Kuznetsova could hold ONE of her last 8 service games though!!!

Is the beast the one making those shocking animal sounds?
Hopefully someone puts it out of its misery in the near future.

I wish Kutz was favourite then we would have cleaned up on sharapova
she wont be favourite against williams,how bad are those shorts,looks like shes got a basketball stuck down the back
cheers
