Hey, this is the same Hsieh that was like Na Li in dominating challengers and shitty Asian events, and then did nothing on tour after funny Asian posters praised her forever. Where did she come from.
Ah, the G! days... I miss them.

This board really needs PierceCheng.
And you assholes had to run him off.
I blame Hackie.

Wow. Now I really really hope Kohl gets banned for match fixing or something.

Janie would be pleased that ESPN2 is showing some of Justine's match. As for PierceCheng if I recall correctly he was a big fan of Mary Pierce and wondered if he should blame the players who beat her for beating her. ;D

OK, I'm going to sound really stupid and ask if the Marta we're talking about was formerly known as Marta Marrero? 'Cos, she made the ACE magazine Top 10 sexiest players one year back in like 2001. If not, what happened to her.
Who is G!?

You mean the 6-3 6-0? Damn. I would pay a shitload of money to get that match on tape.
PierceCheng's argumentation was always poorly understood. In his view, the players who beat Mary should have gone on to win the whole tournament, since beating Mary is a huge thing. But insted they usually lost in the very next round, which satirized him very much.

Congrats to Caroline Wozniacki on making the fourth round of the 2008 Australian Open. This result is a major surprise to me.

I totally called the Marta da Pole resurgence earlier this week! Definitely did NOT expect her to beat Li, though. Goodness, is going to lose to Tsonga. Didn't he beat Tsonga easily at Wimbledon? Oh, how things have changed.

Remember when Hackie wrote Wertheim an email asking why he never gave Jarkko any love, and Wertheim responded "He's good, but talk to me when he's made a Grand Slam quarterfinal"? And now he's about to make his SECOND?
Hilarious!

Goodness. Gasquet is truly hideous-looking. The gaggle of gays who want to bone him perplex me verily.
I like him, a lot, but he's horribly ugly.

Gasquet isn't hideous. And as I said earlier, his backhand makes up for a lot.
But I will concede that in some angles he looks like he has Down-syndrome.

And now he's about to make his SECOND? Hilarious! I think it might be his third? I recall him losing one at the USO to Hewitt in an ugly 5-setter, and getting crushed by Nadal at Wimbledon. Unless the latter was a R16. Nieminen is really a terribly player to watch. So boring. No weapons. Puff-ball serves of 65 mph. Philipp should be shot - after that amazing performance, to choke that hard? Other reactions so far: HOLY SHIT MARTA! 6 cosnecutive wins! And this comeback over Na Li is your first win over a decent player, well done. Can't wait to see her versus Venus. She really is a beauty. I watched her beat Elena Dementieva's boyfriend's sister Afinogenova in the first round of qualies last year in New York, playing a scratchy match, not thinking she would ever be in this situation. Ever! So well done. HOLY SHIT JCF! You fucking rock. Now please beat your nemesis Ferrer (such a hard match-up) for him and make the QF. I think he could definitely beat Novak Djokovic. He really is a better player than dumb Nole when he's being aggressive. I'm so happy for him right now. Remember in AO 2005 when he sucked and lost to Sucky Coria by just about the same scoreline (6 games total)? Tsonga-Gasquet looks like match of the day. Dementieva's ground game just blows these days. I want Elena '04 back, fucked up serve and all. She had the best passing shots in the business back then.

And I don't usually like guys who other guys like/ who are popular with the gays, but Gasquet is the most fuckable man in the Top 10. Tsonga is also gorgeous. This is the best looking match-up of the day besides, obviously, Youzhny-Davydenko. *cums* And at worst, he's okay looking. But I don't understand ugly?

Awwww, Jagger is so cute. Daniela and Lindsay won very easily today. No idea what their draw looks like, but they have to win. LD has lost in like 4 doubles finals here and needs this one to complete the Dubs Slam, she's fucking due.

Beating Mary Pierce is flea, not huge.
Wussquet isn't ugly.
I haven't watched much today. Yesterday drained me. Being a wacko always sucks the next day.

Mary usually beat herself with her terrible fitness. I still want her and Capriati to come back. Like Lindsay, Mary can really whack away at the young up-and-comers who think they're hot shit and hit the ball so hard. Lol, not like two of the three cleanest strikers of the balls in the history of tennis. Even Landsdorp has said Ivanovic doesn't do and probably will never do what Lindsay did off the ground.

I doubt I'll ever see another ball striker like Leach in my day. And she has the same amount of slams as freakin' Caprifati... ... No need to rant on her for the 123423th time here.

My dream is that Tsonga/Gasquet go for a while and so do Youzhny/Davydenko. ESPN2 while have to show some of both matches. Although knowing how they hate Commies besides Safin, they might just ignore Nikolay all together.

I wonder what Elena thinks when she gets her ass whipped like that.
Probably something along the lines of "Whateva!!" because else she would do something to prevent it from happening every few weeks.

I also rank Lindsay as #1 ball striker ever. I don't think Lindsay, Mary, Monica will ever be matched. And the fact that Lindsay has the same number of Slams as Capriati just shows how tennis, like all sports, comes down to attitude and mentality as much as technique, talent, skill. I know Lindsay regrets not getting fitter earlier in her career when she was a teen. Those weak mid-90s were OPEN for her to dominate with Graf and before the Williams showed up. But better late than never. And her longevity is beginning to rival Agassi's.
