Australian Open!

I know its early and all but I thought it would be fun to pick the winner right now! Then, in January, we will look back at this and say "I told ya' so" or "What was I thinking" :haha: :lol:
(Oh yeah and pick the finalist as well)


My pick ,based on recent form, is Maria Sharapova :ras: She will gbeta Juju in the final 5-7,6-2,6-1 :shrug:

But watch out for Serena :cool: !

Anastasia Myskina def. Nadia Petrova 0-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7)

:smoke:

Sharapova d. S. Williams 5-7 6-4 7-5 (Momo lost in R3)

Maria Sharapova def. Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4 3-6 6-3

Wow three for Maria now :eek: .

Amelie Mauresmo def Justine Henin-Hardenne 3-6,6-3,6-4

L. Davenport def. M. Hingis 6-0 6-2 :shrug:

Venus Williams def. Justine-Henin Hardenne 6-3 7-6(4)

Paul McNamee's words to Venus in his persuation
to get her to Hopman Cup pan out. :cool:

What I want to see

Martina Hingis def. Serena Williams 2-6 6-4 10-8 :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

What I'll probably get

Justine Henin-Hardenne def. Kim Clijsters 6-3 6-4 :yawn:

Kuznetsova def Petrova :yawn:

Maria Sharapova d. Martina Hingis
6-2, 3-6, 6-1

What I want to see

Martina Hingis def. Serena Williams 2-6 6-4 10-8 :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

What I'll probably get

Justine Henin-Hardenne def. Kim Clijsters 6-3 6-4 :yawn:

The Justine/Kim final does sound boring :yawn: ! But even more boring is Juju def. Momo 6-3,6-4 :rolleyes: :yawn: :mad:

Vaidisova d. Ivanovic 6-7, 7-6, 7-6

I don't care who plays, I just want a high quality three setter.

remember Melbourne Park is always unpredictable.

I remember one year in the mens draw most of the top 16 seeds didn't even see the 3rd round.

And womens had a year a few years back where a lot of seeds lost early.

Anastasia Myskina def. Nadia Petrova 0-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7)

:smoke:

Vaidisova d. Ivanovic 6-7, 7-6, 7-6

Not to be an annoying bitch, but you can't win the Australian Open 7-6 in the third. :angel:

I knew that. :angel:

0-6, 6-0, 9-7 - Myskina def. Petrova.

Sharapova d. JHH 3-6 7-5 6-4

I don't think Maria or Justine is going to win it.
It would be too predictable.

Randwanska def Sharapova 7:6 7:6 :cool:

Sharapova OVER Kuznetsova 6-3, 6-2

Sharapova def. Dementieva

Masha will take it against Sveta!

its strange, Amelie has won the most grand slams this year, yet still hardly anyone would pick her as favourite.

No one is looking really dominant at the moment, although it will probably be either Justine/Maria/Amelie/Svetlana

Hmm...

Serena Williams def. Amelie Mauresmo 6-4 2-6 7-5

i want

ju def sharapova qr
lindsay def momo qrt

lindsay def ju

lena (seeded 4, having the easiest draw, def only 1 top 30 players due to top seeds falling early) def lindsay (15)

Nadia Petrova def Maria Sharapova 6-3, 4-6, 10-8

Martina will be back to take her place in the Aussie Final defeating Lindsay Davenport 7/5 6/4.

ju def sharapova qr
#1 and #2 in qr? how is it possible? :-)

Davenport defeats Maria Sharapova 7-5 -6-3

So long as either Clijsters, Myskina, Hingis or Dementieva wins it i'll be happy!

S. Williams defs V. Williams

6-4, 4-6, 22-20

Chakvetadze or Dementieva will win :)

Hingis d. Kuznetsova 6-4 1-6 6-4 :hearts:

Nicole Vaidisova (CZE) d. Maria Sharapova (RUS) 6-1 6-4! :inlove:

Or maybe


Stevenson d. Henin-Hardenne 6-0 5-0 ret. (acute motivation sprain)

Disaster :help:

Elena Dementieva def Maria Sharapova 4-6 6-2 7-5

Alicia in 2 week, def. sharapova 64-62

sveta def. vaidisova 76-36-61

I have a hunch Kim Clijsters will win. I believe she has at least another slam in her future. Australia will be a good chance because she will be fresh. It will be like 2 years ago when a re-motivated Safin wins Aussie Open.

I say this as a Justine fan. Of course I will be happy if Justine wins. If not, Anna Chakvetadze all the way!

kim d. justine 6-2 3-6 13-11

Pierce over Hingis 4-6 7-6(11) 6-0

Mary Pierce def. Serena Williams 0-6 7-6 (from 0-5 down) 14,632-14,630

why wasn't the 3rd set played? :scratch: :confused:

that LONG ass # is the third set...:shrug:

I think Serena will win, she's won the past 2 odd years. 2003, and 2005. She really should have won it in 2001 too, but she was deep in her choker phase.

ooh I thought that was the estimated crowd figure :lol:

Jelena Dokic def. Nicole Pratt 6-1 6-0 :yeah:

I agree! And also if you look at her pattern this is what happens

1999-US Open Champ
2000-Nothing
2001- US Open Final
2002- Domination :armed:
2003-Slight Domination :wavey:
2004-Finalist
2005-Aussie Open Champ
2006-Nothing

So she is at least guaranteed a final next year :D !

there's no doubt that masha is the winner of oz open in 2007,so please change the thread's name...is something obvious!

:hug: aww ...how cute

I guess we're gonna see another Sharapova/Henin-Hardenne final... :help: :yawn: :smash: :zzz:

the court surface at Melbourne Park is a lot slower than the courts at Flushing Meadows remember

I guess we're gonna see another Sharapova/Henin-Hardenne final... :help: :yawn: :smash: :zzz:

:scared: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :scared:

is it possible for masha to become #1 at the end of this year??

I think so, but she better keep improving.

L. Davenport def. M. Hingis 6-0 6-2 :shrug:

as if :p

I think it could be suprise winner. Hmmmm...

Jankovic bt. Kuznetsova 6-4 6-3 :D

of course, if Anne Keothavong manages to qualify, she'd win it with ease :cool:

I would CRY tears of joy if it was Serena d. ANYONE

im gona say samy to pull off a baghdatis and reach the final and make the best upset of her life by beating anyone i dnt care who =p lol

it wont happen i no but i love dreams =p

im gona say samy to pull off a baghdatis and reach the final and make the best upset of her life by beating anyone i dnt care who =p lol

it wont happen i no but i love dreams =p

yeah, luv 2 see that happen as well 2 or even better if she won the title. who's no, it might well happen in 2007, u neva no.

i would like 2 see molik vs sam in an all aussie open final in 2007, but that won't happen obviously but 1 can dream can't they.

What you will definately see:-

Justine def Maria / Amelie

What you hope to see:-

Serena / Venus def Whoever gets in their way

What you really won't be seeing...
