I don't know if the fanatics chants were on the telly coverage but a couple cracked me up.
The first one isn't really nice but appealed to my sick sense of humour anyway. ;D
Woz was mentioning their hatred of the Spaniards for some well documented incidents the last time we played them in a final. He had a particular dislike for Albert Costa because of the way he treated the Aussies. Costa played the lead up rubbers but wasn't selected in this weeks final.
To Daydream Believer.
Then whenever Ferrero made a mistake near the fanatics they hassled him with their Abba impersonation and he wasn't taking it too kindly.
The tennis was amazing today. Am so proud to be Australian in a good fun crowd compared to what the Spanish crowd must have been.
There was an awesome laser show before the start of the game. Was worth going just to see that, ha.
James Morrison played a great rendition of the non-Spanish National Anthem. You'd have to wonder how they could play the wrong song.
Lleyton.....Son of a Tiger. What can I say. His refusal to be beaten obviously comes from his Richmond background. ;D
His determination to do his country proud is the kind of thing true Davis Cup legends are made of and Lleyton go down as one of the all time greats.
Hope Philipousis can fire up on Sunday.
Go Wayne and Todd tomorrow.
Speaking of Davis Cup greats there is some presentation to Pat Rafter tomorrow. What a pity his name never got engraved on a Davis Cup.
Am really looking forward to tomorrow. Could someone do a rain dance so they shut the roof please. It was bloody hot sitting in the sun.
A couple of tennis fans from the site have said to me they'd love to have gone if they could afford it. My advice is to put $2 a week into a piggy bank and start saving for when the next chance to go comes along.
The atmosphere and the tennis are incredible.

There's only one real man who plays for Spain
Aranxcha (sp) Sanchez is HIS name.

Cheer up Albert Costa
How sad must he be
Played in all three rubbers
Now he's watching on tv

Why, Why, Why, Ferrero
