Managed to catch the Safin vs Becker match and it was very good.
BTW, it is on BBCi from 8.30am-1.30pm.
Just looking at the times, and it looks like we'll miss the Finals, unless BBC put it on some time delay.

No participants. "You probably get one chance to win a match in your lifetime 6-0 6-0 6-0. I wanted to win love, love and love but let it slip a little bit."
Andy Murray sees his chance to record a rare "triple bagel" undone in Melbourne.
Good win for Murray I think. Sharapova was a bit shakey today, but it was hot...

I'd like to see Ana Ivanovic do well. The further they stay in, the more chance of an upskirt pic in the papers. |

Well Murray is doing well.
And Mauresmo just lost  So looks like Sharapova could win the title?
Murray vs Nadal, the big one!

A great match of tennis going on right now; Murray vs Nadal 2-2 sets all so far
Edit: Nadal has broken 0-2 in final set. Oh well

he had nadal on the ropes early - great fight back from nadal and then murray took it back to him again - shame - a bit of a crumble in the final set but great stuff - nearly 4 hours and finished @ 1am local time

Great game! What a game! I really enjoyed this, and some of the shots were wicked especially when there were so many drop shots in one rally.
Murray have 5 break points in the last set!
And in the second set, 4-0 up I think, or 4-1 and he loses it!
Anyway, great match, lets hope the Federer vs Nadal final is better than last years SW19 final.
And as for ladies, Sharapova through again, and Clijsters vs Hingis is the big game |

Murray was really unlucky today. Needs to work on his fitness but at times he had Nadal completely flummoxed.
Maria is doing ok. Nothing special just ok. I've been a fan of her for over 4 years, and I've seen her play much better.

I think he really is up there now alongside Davydenko, Blake, Ljubicic and still getting better
Cant see anything but Maria & Fed winning the finals

If Serena williams is on form she can destroy any other woman and probably a few men  people always write her and her sister off but basically they are different class when they are fit, thats how they can be out for ages and just walk back in and win again. Sharapova looked like she had been hit by a Truck!
FED should be a shoe in

She really struggled with Serena's serves and power! Serena was definately next level! Sharapova wasn't playing well at all really.. her flowery dress was pretty though
Luckily I didn't stay up to watch this! Just caught the highlgihts on the last Grandstand!
Anyway, why wasn't Venus playing in this Open?

I didn't see the women's match, but I'm really surprised that Serena has managed to get back. I saw some pictures of her about 18 months ago and she was well overwight and didn't seem interested in dedicating herself to the game ... I thought she was going into fashion designing or something! ... fair play to her!
