Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: Aussie Open

Who's been watching?

The Fed, though winning in straight sets doesn't look as sharp has he has in the past. He'll need to kick it up a few notches to get past Agassi tonight. Though his game has several notches left, so it shouldn't be a problem.

My man Safin is still in there...as is Andy Roddick, David Nalbandian, Dominik Hrbaty, Leyton Hewitt, and Nikolay Davydenko.

So, who're your picks?

Here's mine...

Quarters
Federer over Agassi in four sets.
Marat over Hrbaty in straights.
Nalbandian over Hewitt in five.
Roddick over Davydenko in straights.

Semis
Federer over Safin in four.
Roddick over Nalbandian in five.

Finals
Federer beats Roddick in straight sets.

I have only been watching a little.

I like your predictions, but I will take Hewitt over Nalbandian.
Then Hewitt over Roddick in five.

Federer in straight sets.

Only watching a little? You DO have a Tivo, no?

This is the first year I've gotten to see a bunch of the Aussie Open...Thank you Tivo!!!!

How do people live without one?

ignorance is bliss.

I'm not ignorant, though.

I didn't know he was known as "The Fed". lol. Even though Agassi is slowing up I still would like to see him pull this off. He has always been a favorite of mine. If not Agassi, I root for Federer all the way.

Yeah...I have TiVo.....I will set it up to record tonight.

On a different note...I called my cable company today...they now have a HD DVR with two tuners! I may be dumping DirecTiVo and going that route if I get that new TV.

Hey...so far my predictions have been pretty close. I should be a betting man.

Not the Federer prediction. I guess you are happy about that one though since Safin won. I didn't see it, but I hear it was a great match.

I watched some of it today......those guys were hitting the cr*p out of the ball. I think I have seen better technical matches....but not one like this where I really felt sorry for the ball.
