Rafa may end up winning more than Fed & Djoker.

He's my personal favourite of the three, simply for his relentless style. My favourite sportsman.

Not a bad week's work: $6.2m or whatever for winning a few tennis matches. Incredible!
But great that it is AB - a more down-to-earth sports star you'd never find. And a great Tiges follower.
Inspired by our latest premiership ... maybe just a little??

Well done Tiger Ash. Well earned. A true champion.

I noticed a couple of parallels with hers and the tigers season this year.
Both finished the season as number 1's, and a line in this news.com article gave me a chuckle.

"While most of her rivals spent the week complaining...………………………………., Barty went quietly about her business"
Sound familiar?? :))

What a wonderful role model. I think she is my favourite Australian sportsperson. And to rise to where she is has been incredible.

She makes me go to sleep with that slow move. Glad she lost and near retirement. Great to see the Tiger Ash cruise into the Sweet Sixteen.

I’ve never been to the tennis but I bought a ground pass for myself, wife and daughter next Wednesday to see what it’s all about.

But mainly coz Billy Idol will be on stage at 7.30!

In regards to the tennis action and crowds there wont be a huge amount going on with play and the outside courts as the Open will be at the QF stage by then and all those games will be in the main stadiums.

Early week one is when its buzzing, crowds up and action everywhere.

Rebel Yell is still touring? Has the same burnt out physical energy as Diamond Dave. Embarrassing....

I'd say Steve Stevens has chubbed up a bit too.

So you're dragging the missus n daughter along to inflict Billy Idol on them. I take it you were severely disappointed in your Xmas present this year.
