Just watched the last set and a bit of Tsonga beating Youzhny in straights. 7-5 6-0 7-6(6) He is just so talented and a joy to watch. Reminds me of Murray in 05/06 He now plays Nadal and what a match it will be. So beating Murray was no big fluke...he has beaten Gasguet and now Youzhny. What bet he makes the fi...

As a result of a spate of freak withdrawals, it has been decided to cancel the 2008 Australian Open. A woeful series of events led to the entire field being ravaged to the point where there was a distinct possibility that Oscar Hernandez or even Alex Bogdanovic might have won the title. Reason prevaile...
