YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT AOwhat will happen?? who do you think will win?? 
|
Agassi2000
|
I think for the men, Federer is the obvious favorite. This could also be Nalbandian's big chance to win his first grand slam. Nadal is also another favorite to win the title. His game suits well for the slower courts in Australia. For the women, Clijsters or Pierce should take the title. Venus is another pick, but the courts are awfully slow for her taste.

yeah i would also agree. like i said on the cp fourm, nadal is a semi or at least a quarterfinalist at AO. federer is the obvisous favorite in just about all of his matches . but if federer has to vs nalbdian or nadal it will be a long 5 setter "DOWN UNDER".
for the women i'm looking at pierce venus ,clijters, and sharapova.
think that pierce will have helped her mental toughness (or whatever it is that is an obstacle for winning) in the off season to help her stop chocking in big matches.
venus i think has a good chance because of her groundstrokes and her serve which is pretty good.
clijters is favorite because she plays great defense which can wear on oppoents in the hot summer hit at AO.
sharapova is a good player no doubt. but she has had some problems LATE in the season. expect her and every player to try to start off the year right and play their best. on the playing aspect her serve and big groundies, which will help.

davenport has a better chance than sharapova, yes. but i acually don't think mauresmo has a better chance than sharapova.

Mauresmo did just beat Maria at the Tour Championships. It depends on whether Mauresmo can keep her mental game straight.

There's still a month to go until the AO starts but right now this is who I like.
Men's Top contenders-Federer, Nadal, Hewitt, Nalbandian
Federer is the big favorite but Nadal and Nalbandian could challenge him. People aren't talking about Hewitt, possibly because he hasn't played in a while. I think he's another wildcard. Could go far like last year and do well in front of his people. But could lose early/be slightly distracted or not focused due to his new baby girl. I think he'll do well.
Women's Top contenders-Clijsters, Davenport, Sharapova, V. Williams
Clijsters is my favorite. The other three could win the title if they play consistent, stay healthy, and win that one big match they need to, be it if it's in the quarters, semis, or final round. Hard to call with all the injuries/confusion in the women's game right now.

blake and aggasi are players you should look out for at AO. i think they will do better than aggasi and roddick

Just wanted to say that I posted a response on the boards at tennis.com about how people should try this new forum and that its really good. I think J-Man wrote something too. I can't even find it now. That's kind of strange. Maybe they are afraid of the competition and don't want people hyping this forum. Oh well, I just wrote that this is an interesting forum that seems to deal with tennis related topics, and not all the other worthless stuff.

She was creamed by serena in the quarters last year. No, I do not think she will win a slam this year, but she has a much better chance than she did last year, after her breakthrough at the tour championships in november.

no i don't think mauresmo will win a GS this year. but she will come close this year (quarters, semi's and maybe even finals)
|

ya she usually does.....except at the FO cuz all the people are rooting for her there and she just cant take the pressure....but that was really good that she won the championships in november....i hadnt put her in as a favorite but she was very impressive there....

yes it seems that other countries put alot more pressure on their players at their own GS than us. do you think that helps are players at the USopen?
|

it doesnt really affect our players....i dont think that roddick lost because the crowd was putting too much pressure on him, he was just playing bad tennis that day.....and it didnt affect agassi that much.....hingis won her first match today...

Maybe they are trying to stretch it out a bit to give players some time to rest.

hmm...yeah thats a good point cuz some players have to play two days in a row and that makes them really tired...

yeah espically with all that heat. that can really take the energy out of you

ya how warm does it get on court in australia?? i would have hated to be fed or sharapova last year in the SF....being so damn tired and playing ur best and it being so warm around u and losing the match...with the match going overtime too...
|

|
i bet it can get in the 100's
|

wouldnt u feel bad if u were fed or sharapova in the SF and getting so close to a final and losing while holding match points and facing the heat?? yeah probably i would even feel tired being in the crowd...

yeah i would feel horrible
|

i cant imagine how that would feel (well ive never been to australia) cuz they did look pretty bad out there.....i probably would have fainted before finishing that match....

i remeber alot of players last year suffering from heat realted illnesses.

i remember dent suffering at the RCA championships in the USO series....he won the first set 6-4 then lost the next one 0-6 and was losing 0-3 before he retired from his match against ginepri....he did look really out of it on the court...

yeah, he looks like hes overweight when he moves...he took hewitt to 5 sets and i thought that dent might actually win it in the end, but hewitt just outplayed him in the end of the last set....how old is dent?

i don't know how old dent is. but it seemed last year that hewitt was having trouble with serve and volleyers.

Thats exactly how i felt at wimbledon when hewitt beat dent. I was impatient because i wante the Davenport-Clijsters match to start. Hewitt had matchh points in the 3rd set, but it ended up going into a 4th set.

yeah, but at least we found out the results in the end...but its just not the same as watching the match...

What did you guys think of the AO overall? I thought this major overall was pretty good. Baghdatis, Hingis, and of course Mauresmo stole the show.
Too bad that 3 top men's players couldn't compete but overall the 2 wks of tennis was compelling and high quality.
A big thumbs down to JHH. Days later, I'm still stunned at what happened in the final. But in tennis you definitely have to take the good with the bad. Just wish there was some more good and less bad from now on.

overall i thougth AO was great. it was great to see baghdatis and hingis. mauresmo winning AO was trmendous. i am looking foward to FO. but like usual AO prodouced some very exciting tennis

I thought the AO was a good tournament this year. There were many upsets, a journeyman miracle, and good tennis overall. However, I'm a bit upset that Nadal, Agassi, and Safin wre not there to challenge Federer. I think those three would have potentially beaten Federer. Too bad all three of them suffered injuries last year.

That's very valid. Nadal has Federer's number, and Agassi has the ability to beat Federer; it's just a matter of getting a tiny bit of help from Federer and himself and conserving energy for their matches.

yeah, that's also a good point

If Agassi plays Federer like he did in the second set of the US Open final, he can definitely have a chance of really beating Federer this year at least once.
