YIASOU.He and Nick Kyrigios are seen as real potentials for Aussie tennis... anything to oust that dingbat Tomic. Quote Selected

With you there, Jofonski.I'm only interested due to a very close Greek buddy's friendship with the two boys I mentioned... and Mrs Baggers watches it constantly (shhhhh, which means I can do other stuff while she is glued to the IB (idiot box).

Re: 2014 Australian Open Reply #79 – January 16, 2014, 09:48:05 pm Surely, the most boring award would have to go to soccer. Man, it would be the perfect game to watch in lieu of taking a sleeping pill. But unfortunately the commentators have a tendency to wake you up by screaming when nothing is happening. If the commentary matched the "action", it would have the same soporific commentary as occurs during golf tournaments. Quote Selected

If the commentary matched the "action", it would have the same soporific commentary as occurs during golf tournaments. Equestrian cross country events have the same effect. Although they never wake you up because nothing really happens. Even if someone falls off the horse, all you hear is "Ohhhhhhh, that's go to hurt and will ruin her chances of a victory", in a softly spoken voice. Zzzzzzzzz. Quote Selected
Re: 2014 Australian Open Reply #81 – January 16, 2014, 10:35:54 pm hard to argue that tennis hasn't become 'boring'.It's too much about power....Better racquets (like cricket bats?), everyone 190cm+ tall blah blah.Give me Borg, McEnroe any day of the week.Even the great former Federer, Nadal matches were more about the Fed choking mentally.

Re: 2014 Australian Open Reply #85 – January 17, 2014, 10:56:44 am IMO, no sport is boring. Some people might find them unappealling, but that doesnt mean they are boring. It just means that some people dont have an appreciation for them.They are all a bit unique, which is what makes them special. Quote Selected

Impressed by both of them.Both have great potential if they pull their heads in in the next 5 to 10 years and keep up the work rate. Need to keep something different about their games. Not just trying to beat Nadal, Djokovic, Murray and the others with power from the baseline only. Be creative and figure out each players weaknesses. I like what I saw from the 17 and 18 year old.
