| Marat Safin blew a two-set lead, then broke Andre Agassi in the fifth set en route to a 7-6 (6), 7-6 (6), 5-7, 1-6, 6-3 victory in the semifinals of the Australian Open on Thursday night. Andre is a top gun. Way to take it to the limit bro. Agassi, the defending champion, had his 26-match winning streak at Melbourne Park snapped. He seemed to be in control after the fourth set, but faltered in the fifth. It was a tough loss for Agassi, who called it ``the toughest day I’ve had. Marat played at an incredibly high level. I forced him to play at that level the whole time. Sometimes you just need a little luck at the right time. I had chances that went away." "a little luck at the right time." Andre, it’s lots of Luck we want, lots of Luck! I know we kick Murat around alot here at the U but he is an extremely gifted racquetier. And BTW you wont have Sampras to kick around anymore either. |

| #6 Is this guy an Iraqi? If he is, we know he was playing for himself for once, instead of being the surrogate for Uday. Either way, I'm surprised the turbantops "allow" tennis, since it's not specifically mentioned in the Quran. He must be a sufi - certainly not a Wahabbi, who never think of anything but the Quran and blowing people up. |

| #3 I'm fully backing Tokyo Taro. When I was young I used to hate John McEnroe for how he used to carry on and swear.... Later on I matured and I realised he was, and probably will forever be, the only remotely interesting person even loosely associated with tennis. Layton Hewwit's dummy spits are pissweak and not worth the steam off one of McEnroe's turds. I concurr on the French however. |

| #2 TT, this isn't about tinnis, but on a much higher plane, Federer is a bigfooted plodding knome. |

| #1 Lame joke. Tennis has no place on Rantburg, unless Serena Williams decides to insult the French again. Besides, Federer is going to win the Aussie this year. Neither Safin nor Hewitt can beat him when he's in form. |
