2014 Australian Open of Tennis
High temperatures is the discussion. Temperatures exceeding 100+ over the next few days could lead to some upsets. Nadal and Serena are the favorites, but the Men's side is stacked, especially the top part of the draw which has Nadal, Murray, and Federer.
I think Serena and Djoker win the tourney, but I'll be pulling for Stephens and Federer.

Re: 2014 Australian Open of Tennis
Djokovic can win, but he won't.
Also Ivanovic is hot as hell. I'd definitely let her sit on my face.
-
Re: 2014 Australian Open of Tennis
high temps and fast courts. bad for nadal and old man federer (for different reasons). pretty good for murray and djokes.
i guess djoker beats a laggy murray in the final, given the draw.

Re: 2014 Australian Open of Tennis
I live in Melbourne, but am away on holiday in another state and get to escape the heat thank god. Tomorrow and the next few days should be hitting up to around 40 degrees. I feel sorry for the athletes used to colder conditions.

Pretty sure I saw Maria Sharapova last week in Queen St. Mall here in Brisbane for the warm up tournament.

Not fast courts I`m afraid. Very slow hard courts means grind fest, also known as Nadal`s favorite thing.
My favorite, Federer, has very very slim chances here. His form is very bad. I think it`s up to Nole to prevent Nadal from taking this. Murray is recovering still and can not be expected much of, unfortunately.
Maybe a slightly lower ranked player can make a run?
Del Potro? I fear the courts are too slow him.
I`ll go with Jerzy Janowicz, even if the same applies to him imho.
Maybe Tsonga could make som noise. Would be fun.
:cheers:

Federer would have to go through Tsonga, Murray, Nadal, and the Djoker back to back to bsck to back. It's nearly impossible. Although even reaching the final or semis would mean he will have given us some memorable performances to beat two of the big four along thew way. I, for one, want to see Federer againsy Nadal in a relatively faster hard court.

Re: 2014 Australian Open of Tennis
Loving the Eugenie pictures.
She had a warm up tournament in my city a couple of weeks ago and she is gorgeous.
Yeah gonna be 42 degrees tomorrow which will be pretty much impossible to play in so im expecting delays.

well, i seem to remember a report on SI's site a week or two ago that said the courts were faster this year than ever before. and if that's not due to heat, then heat will only make that more intense.
and let's be clear-- djoker, muzza and rafa are ALL kings of the grind. but djokes has the slightly easier draw, as well as having the most success here. gotta give the edge to him, i think.

Janowicz barely made it out of the first round against some local Aussie scrub ranked 300+.
Early upsets so far are Kvitova (6) losing and Haas (12) pulling out with a shoulder injury.

not the best pic of her, but i do find her cute.
sort of the nerdy, awkward girl who manages to have her own kind of self-confidence and sexiness. like, a lot more fun and interesting to be with in the long run, and i wouldn't doubt that she's a wizard in bed. :D
btw, re: thread title,
what are the other kinds of australian opens? australian open always meant tennis to me.
