    Big time of the year, start of the Tennis season. Sam Stosur looking like the best thing Australia has.

    I'm going to try! Last year was the first time I've missed it since I've been here.

    Will you be going? If so, let's meet up!! Can't wait for it... closest people will ever get to tennis stars. Drinks, sun, buddy coaching... we can do well Acer!!

    I went last year, mainly cos i was in Melbourne visiting my other side of my divorced parents. I hate the heat, i complain a lot, would like to go though.

    Wouldn't mind giving one of the BetFair customers at a sign up booth a piece of my mind.

    Went to the AO a few years ago. Stayed in the same hotel as Lleyton Hewitt.

    When I got to the airport it turned out that Enterprise Rent-a-Car was out of vehicles. So they rented me a used kangaroo. Rode that kangaroo all the way to the hotel, but got their late. Anyways, my room was right next to Lleyton Hewitt's and I peered through the balcony and saw him banging some aboriginal woman... screaming 'COME OOOOOOOOON!'

    I was like, 'wtf?'

    Even stranger, though, was that he was counting out the pumps while he was doing her: "15 love, 30 love, 40 love, 1 to nawthing, COME OOOON!!!" He didn't finish until he had won the match 3 sets to love.

    Good thing he finished in 3 sets b/c if it had gone 5 sets I wouldn't have been able to sleep that night!!!

    that was funny as hell and you know it

    for an Australian, you're not a very likeable fellow. Australians are some of the most likeable people on the planet. you must've got lost out in the Australian desert and bitten by one of those exotic freak reptiles you got there.. and then shatten on by an aboriginal

    Baskets i think that will be a good number to arb later on in the tournament. Tomic is solid but from what ive seen perhaps another 2-3 years away from challenging the top 4 consistently....

    I'm a cold and dark person. I dislike living in Australia and hate the heat.

    I know he has a vagina, but Dolgopolomolov is +19500.

    I think this is truly a year where an outsider will appear in the semis and have a shot at the final.

    I will trade our US gangbangers for your Australian heat. We ship all of our convicts in the general population over to you in Australia.

    You've done it before in the past and you can do it again.

    Aussies have thorough doping tests so Williams and Stostur will not be contenders

    Everyone should go to a Tennis Grand Slam in their life ... US Open was one of my favorite experiences. I'd probably rank my inclination to attend now at:

    1. US
    2. Australian
    3. Wimbledon
    4. French

    Draws come on January 13th. That's when you start figuring out your futures. Anything now is just silly.

    By chance, could you have originally come from the mother country Ace?
