For all you tennis fans, what are your predictions for the 2009 Australian Open? I'm hoping to see another Federer-Nadal match. I'm feeling good about Federer after his very decisive match over del Potro, beating him 6-3 6-0 6-0. Hopefully he'll handle Roddick too, although if he does play Nadal, it will be quite a touch match. Nadal is a very good player, though I'm not at all a fan of his clothing style. So, what do you think?

I caught a breif glimpse of Nadal and Verdasco today. Saw that Verdasco won the first set and was even with Nadal in the second. Don't tell me the outcome though. I know I'll catch it later tonight in replay.

I really enjoy watching tennis. Lot of action and good athletes. Some of the broads are pretty hot too...

I cant wait until federer beats Nadal, it will be an amazing moment in my life no doubt. I am a huge fed fan, and if he wins it, it'll be like payback for last year at wimbledon. Plus i love to see federer's vistory scream...you can tell it means so much to him.

That match was one of the best I've seen in a while. So much endurance, it's amazing.

And I really hope Fed beats Nadal.

You can't deny he's great though...

That's all there is to it. I used to hate on Tiger Woods all the time. In time I learned that there is no reason, he's just really good.

That match was epic. Both Fed and Rafa are beasts. Always a great match to watch. I was going for Nadal though.

I watched a good part of the final and it was a great match. Nadal is just so tough. Federer is 'prettier' in the sense he just seems to float out there and every swing is like poetry, but Nadal just doesn't give up on shots and seems 'tougher'. I love watching their contrasting styles. It's one of the best matches I've seen in a while and I hope we continue to see them both in the grand slam finals thoughout the year.

To relate it to golf, I would love to see Tiger have a rivalry with another player to compare to these 2 guys. I know people have compared Tiger to Federer, but I think he's more like Nadal. Other players look prettier, but none get it done as well as him. It would be a lot of fun to have Tiger's rival be the smooth swinging, easy going attitude type (like Fred Couples) as a contrast to Tiger's tough, focused style.

Yeah, there's no denying Nadal is great. I really just hope Fed gets his 14th (and maybe more). I honestly thought he had Nadal after that 4th set, but Nadal is nearly impossible to wear out. :(
It's unrealistic for me to think that Fed has a decent chance at the French Open (hence Nadal's nickname "the King of Clay") but I look forward to it.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
