A win against last year's premiers would be a top scalp.

OK guys, enjoy.

On TV again, which is good, but well below our best. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion.

The big lefty from Luxembourg, Giles Muller, takes out Nadal 13-11 (or 14-12) in the 5th set.

The Fed will be most happy.

Choose ONE ONLY Green Shoot you observed from the game.  Can be a player, passage of play and individual effort, any ONE Shoot that put a smile ???? on your face?

Ok, besides the 'Charlie Vine', anything else??

At the risk of being hammered, I thought Lamb showed some good signs not seen before.

The Dogs were terrible against Adelaide and appear lacking in a lot of areas.

I'm coming home by train, so this thread will be 4 - 6 pages in by the time I put my 2 cents worth in.

Can we beat this bunch of also-rans? I hope so.
