Get your strings tightened and your balls polished - gearing up for Aussie Open

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Happy New Year tennis folks (and others of course, if there are any) :)

Getting very very excited to see Pot back in action, feel like a hyperactive child rather than a middle aged woman. He didn't make it to Brisbane so wasn't counting on Sydney but he's there. Look:

Drama, I think this robin would have scared off a cat. He looked tough.

A bagel? What's happened to Tomas? Must've got Andy cross.

Ok Tomas has actually forgotten how to play tennis I think...

Yep fabulous and very very loud! My youngest is only 1 and she's desperate to play with her brothers (2 and 7) I've just had to prise her off ds1 she decided the easiest way to join in was just to grab and hold on thankfully my 7 year old has the patience of a saint, the same cannot be said of ds2

Urgh, Drama.

My cats are lazy indoor raggies. They love to watch the birds but no danger of catching any.

wait my garden needs your robin

My cats cannot kill anything they are useless

Well, I can't extend this tea break any longer. I'll have another one in half an hour or so

See ya later!

Mama

Awww, sounds lovely !

Its always the girls who are more brazen !

That squeak Murray makes when he serves, always sounds like someone has already said 'fault'. It confuses me constantly.

Was Tomas getting advice on his racquets? I think he just wants a friend.

The squeak is beginning to annoy me.

What's Vamos in Czech, anyway?

Although I always think Tomas looks more German.

walt- it is annoying- ad it sounds really girly

Dunno - someone google !

If Andy makes those groans in bed I'm sure Kim must whack him round the head.

Are you enjoying yourself or what ?!

Is it me- or have there been some really bad line calls today?

Berdych waking up again now.

It is not an image I want to think about.

Well, no. But the groans are very bad-sex-like.

Pojdme! Is come on, apparently. Or Pojd. Kvitova says it a lot, apparently.

I like Pojd.

Pojd ! Pojd !

It's quite snappy- however it's pronounced

Pojd!

Love pojd.

Pojd Murray.

omg- I have just had someone put an Iceland brochure through the door.

They are selling kangaroo, buffalo and CROCODILE burgers.

Yuk.

I hope it wasn't the orange one, have you got plenty of disinfectant ?

I think beating Rafa and winning the 1st set has done for Berdych.
