NOT the draw we wanted at all. There are so many qualifiers and claycourters who haven't a chance. Why does he get the 2nd favourite for thet itle (no matter wha tA-Rod thinks!) emoticon

Re: Mark's first Round Match, US OPEN


Oh dear... i guess we can look to the positives - it should be on Arthur Ashe... we all will get coverage of it... hmmmm... emoticon

but seriously, mark will have to play his A game and he will have to do it consistantly for however many sets. Nadal is a warrior, he wont give up no matter what. I'm sure mark has watched nadal plays, and knows the young kid will be pumped and ready to play. Mark can not walk out on court as flat as he did last year US open.. I would like to see Mark serve=volley 1st serves to keep it short, and he's going to have to really have great footwork to handle nadal's spin.

This is such a tough match... but its the perfect match for mark to really earn some respect and make it known he's a serious contender. Nadal hasnt been playing too great lately, but i'm sure will give mark everything he's got so i truly hope mark believe;s in himself and goes out fired up.

GO MARK!!! emoticon

I think that a first round encounter with Nadal is a good thing for Mark. Nadal has been practicing in Connecticut, but now it's Showtime!

Does anyone know if Australia will get free to air coverage of the USO? emoticon

I had a quick look at yourtv.com.au and there are no listings for early next week emoticon

I would be surprised if Channel 9 didnt show the day sessions, they always have. It could be the online tv guides haven't caught up with the special schedule next week.

I don't buy The Age any longer but if anyone has, The Green Guide will have next weeks tv guide in there.

Yep, tough one for Mark. I think that Nadal is under-rated for his overall game on all surfaces.

I hope Mark is healthy, fit and focused ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Mark can win this if he comes out firing from the start and gets ahead and keeps the pressure on but its just about as tough as it can get at this stage while Mark is still building up his game again. He was on a good run until the toe injury.

Ok, this is GAME ON! Mark, please bring your A game, big serves, consistent serves, agrressive play, confidence.

I'll say it: Mark can beat Nadal if he plays his best and doesn't fall into Nadal's traps, re spin/working Mark around the court.

Its a massive match, and I hope Mark is getting all the right signals to let him know, he MUST NOT concede defeat b4 the game starts, he must BELIEVE IN HIMSELF, PLAY HIS BEST POSSIBLE TENNIS, and be the champion he is!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a match for the faint-hearted. This is a match for WARRIORS!!!!

I'm quite excited!!! GO MARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO THE MIGHTY SCUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
