I really like the green shirt...if only because green is my favorite

Long rallies make me nervous

Sounds like his opponent may have just given up!

Well, well - tennis is a strange sport!  Jankovic's opponent has turned the tables and is now 3-0 up in the 2nd.

Yep, you never know how many hours the match will be at play.

Oh, Russians.

I think it's going to start far sooner than that, Earmuffs.

Tomic beat Chardy 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(7-5) and Jankovic is well on the way to totally demolishing her Russian opponent.

Meanwhile Nadal looks to be heading for a triple bagel.

As long as Andy's match starts before I have to leave in a couple of hours, then it's all good.

That triple bagel sounds fattening

True, but it depends on the second set...no offense to the Russian, but I'm quite ready to see Andy play

 

I think his match is going to start in two hours...  but also

Rally for relief:


11:00: Great point!

EDIT: But not as good as 24:50

You're awesome for this since I wasn't able to see it and thank you for all the great links, guys &hearts

 Hmm, do you know of any decent websites that show the live stream of the AO? I won't be home next week but will have internet access and I'm nearly in tears of frustration thinking I'll miss the matches, especially Andy's...

  so handsome here .....

I see an increase in my stress level in the near future. 

Do you think he'll have a tricky match with Beck? I think he'll enjoy the challenge and win.

Also: http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/galleries/2011-01-14/201101141294977794417.html --> a very...interesting picture to remember when the stress level rises

Is it strange that I'm not even slightly rooting for my boy Rafa and am even a little glad he's not feeling 100 percent or is this just an Andy Murray effect thing?

I rarely watch competition of any kind because of my nerves but I'll be watching Andy play at the AO and I hope my nerves are up to it *crosses fingers* I expect a lot of crying and shouting and jumping around from myself either way

Oh, right - just found the list on the MTF.  Ward's first opponent is Paul Capdeville (Chile)

Ward lost to Capdeville on his qualifying round...does this mean more pressure on Andy? D:

Amazing effort! Some of the possibilities are a little terrifying so fingers crossed Andy gets far in the AO, even win it!
