So whos been watching or going. I watched a few matches on TV (like the all australian loosing day for scud and hewitt) but i got to go today with a free ground pass from a friend, score!!
i had a awesome day and saw some neat legends matches. Like pat cash and macanroe (no he didnt chuck a skitz, but everyone was yelling at him to... even these guys with watermelons on their heads...). All in all i had a fun day :P
bahahaha @ pants
I like sport.. But not tennis or cricket.. Or anything televised for that matter.. I want to play, not watch it.. But there it is, eating up my precious TV watching hours. I want to watch that 70's show, not some crappy non interactive version of pong.
It's good that you like it Moonunit.. But I really don't like seeing tennis related stuff here. Makes me feel.. Dirty.

Shame on you, dirty, dirty MoonUnit. Didn't you know these forums are moderated for discussion on topics other than games, art, women, computers, fantasy and sci-fi?
haha [;)]
I flew down to Melbourne last saturday to shop my butt off and to also watch Hewitt vs Nadal, great game, Nadal certainly made Hewitt work for his win though.
Also saw Todd Woodbridge play in the doubles.
Tennis, football(soccer) and extreme sports are the only competetive sports I can watch, generally find the attitude of most people who play competetive sport a tad worrying. [:P]
To all those Melbournites out there, your city ROCKS!!
Don't get me wrong, Brisvegas is great and all but I would prefer to be able to move during summer and not sit half naked in a kiddy pool to escape the ridiculous humidity!!
Mr Burns were is your disc to block the sun when we need it??!!!
One question though, why are all the men in Melbourne so 'Man pretty', don't the Melbourne women get jealous that all the fashion stores are for blokes lol. J/K [:)]
I don't really watch alot of sport, except for motorsport. I guess it's hard to call it a sport though, because it's not like you need to be heaps buff and fit to drive a car fast (not that most drivers aren't fit anyway).
I try to play sports more than I watch them!
However I remember spitting chips when pat rafter lost that wimbledon 2001!
soccer is still my game aswell :D
tennis is fun to watch sometimes though, admitedly it can be boring but i saw some awesome matches.
Melbourne, what can i say Malus, we didnt win the most livable city in the world for nothing :P
i was "spitting chips" the other night when federer beat hewitt, that was probably one of the top matches ive seen played.
Really? Every interview I've seen when he loses (or wins for that matter) he comes across as a good sport, he was pretty imature when he was younger but any kid thrown into that type of world would be a bit cocky.
He was really good after the match I saw, he really made it known that the young kid made him work his butt of for the win.
Hi all! [:)]
Yeah, there has been some nice tennis on the tele.
Personally I?m not much of a competitive sports fan, but I think tennis is good if there are top players involved, otherwise I don?t ?get? traditional sports. They just don?t seem much fun to me. And American television (or even better then TV: gaming [:p]) seems better to watch then sports. [:)]
But I really love the more fun activates, like pretty much all extreme sports [:D] ? especially surfing. Here in beautiful Brisbane surfing is so easy to get into ? a shortish drive and there are some of the best waves in the world? sometimes. IMO, Much more exciting then tennis (or football, cricket, whatever). -if there are waves. [:(] (not that I?m ever up early for a beach trip anymore, I?m always up late on the ?puter )
Still, with the heat we?ve been getting, going to Melbourne for summer sounds pretty cool?
hieneken has a big sponsorship in the australian open, theres like a bar were you can get hieneken, hieneken or hieneken beer on the grounds. If you dont like hieneken beer your alchoholic choices are pretty limited as you cant bring anything in (they do check ur bags) so youd have to go sip wine at one of the cafes (EXPENSIVE!!!)
Sport is the grit in the underwear of my life.
