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:

Well, Rafa didn't make it, but delighted for Ferrer.

Vamos

So I'm guessing Ferrer beat Foggy? Good stuff. Sad Rafa went out early, but pleased for Ferrer.

Morning just bumping before this disappears again.
Lots of tennis on but I'm not getting to watch any, busy busy.

And it's Oh dear, Andy, yet again. 6-1 6-3 to COric in Dubai.

Did anyone actually see the match?

I haven't been able to 'see' anything- and Rafa's matches keep bring on in the middle of the night which is a bit late to sit up refreshing scores!

Yep I'd did magi, it was a very odd one, Murray was so negative even more so than usual. Not to take anything from coric but I'm not sure Murray would've beaten anyone that day.
Rafa just was just 6-1 down in the semi final tie break in Argentina and came back to take the first set. He played Some amazing tennis out of nowhere. Let's hope it continues in the second set

Vamos

and well done to Federer- winner again in Dubai.

Huge congrats to Ferrer- he's having a good start to the year.

Just need Rafa to win in Buenos Aires (which every time I read it, without fail, makes me sing
and it's been a good weekend

Nadal has started his match. Vamos

First set to Rafa 6-4.

Vamos!

VAMOS

Doing well....

VAMOS

Yay!

Well done Rafa!

Yay!!

Hello, lovelies !

Rafa WINS ! Yay !

VAMOS

(lets hope its a good sign for the rest of the year)

RG NO.10

Ooooh, I forgot my

RG10

I need a t-shirt...

Don't tempt fate, gorgeous !

Patience is a virtue.

I want one with bull horns on. They are quite fetching.

Missed the tennis last night but yay Rafa
Definitely RG10 I'm going this year, really hope I get to see him play.

Don't usually bother with Davis cup= but the doubles is very exciting.

The doubles was very exciting, and James Ward's win yesterday was stunning.

The only time I've ever wanted Murray to win wards victory was incredible.

Del Potro has withdrawn from Indian Wells. Poor Potato- it's not looking good for him - i hope he can play soon.

Another solid win for Ward at Indian Wells, which is good to see.

I'm getting very excited. We pick up RaahhPuppy at the weekend. I wasn't allowed to call him Rafa, but I am going to train him to watch the tennis with me.

Can you teach a dog to bark ' Vamos ' do you think?

Oooh-shootings in Leatherbridge!
