The Aussie Open

Post by nellikin » Mon Jan 17, 2011 10:45 am

I love it. Two weeks of vegging in front of the tele eating crackers and dip. I hope Nadal wins this year - he'll be the first man to hold all four slams at once since Laver, I believe.

Any other lovers out there?

I bet some guys like the girls attire...

I'm afraid it's on at an inconvenient time for me. Why couldn't Australia be moved a few thousand miles to the west? ;ob;

I will try and catch the highlights, and some of the later stages - as long it doesn't interfere with either sleep or work ...

Actually, Jim Courier (admit it JimC, that's you!) annoys the shit out of me. Tennis enjoyment just went down one notch :(

Jim Courier is a pundit/analyst? Is he as boring as when he was playing? :tea:

Is McEnroe available? He'd be intelligent, interesting and arrogant - a much better combination. :hehe:

We have John Alexander in that role. It's actually hilarious. When Jim is in the box, no other commentator stays with him for more than half an hour. Todd Woodbridge and John Alexander seem to swap in and out...
