Sharapova doesn't make the grunts'n'groans on the practice court, so why do we have to endure it on the main stage.

It's something that needs to be addressed ... along with the ballboy treatment .... poor little blokes are personal slaves to the prima donnas !!!

[AndyP]

Add another win to the Djokovic run (only one loss this year). Despite losing a set, he flogged Nadal.

The draw was done for the Davis Cup playoffs to get back into the world group tonight.

Australia copped Switzerland. Federer and Wawrinka; both top players. Doh!

Bit surprised this thread hasn't popped up with stosur doing so well again! Won't blow todays current update though, suffice to say she's on court against williams atm.

[Grunt]

Have to Say she smashed her.

Probably because of her choker tag, everyone was staying quiet. Hopefully she'll kick on from here.

Tennis worth watching this morning. Stosur is a class act. So glad to see her smash Serena.

[kingslayer33]

Serena's performance at the end of the first set was just plain ugly. To be expected of her - she has form. Well done Stosur to put up with that and still destroy her.

Sammy showed how to win with dignity and class. Unlike her opponent. It was good to see.

So most of you hate the way Lleyton used to carry on or this just a bit of latent racism? Can't you just laud Sam without the rest of the crap. Serena was pretty gracious after the match completed.

[3oneday]

It's hard to be humble when your breasts are that big though.

It had been mentioned in another thread, goughy.

Nice work playing the race card, just.

Yes, Lleyton carried on like a pork chop too. What's with the racist bit??

No problems, luckily you and I know there are no racists in the world, I've never met one.

You've never noticed the completely over the top reaction to the Williams sisters on the forum. They've never been anything but aggressive, fantastic tennis players (and I don't even like the sport), hard during matches sure, but most of the time once the game is done they are pretty fair.

Anyway we're taking away what was a great display from Stosur.

[AndyP]

Great mental strength shown from Stosur to refocus after Williams' poor display and continue on to win the second set. Williams dominated for a short period after it, and I thought she might steamroll Sam from that point on.

[Jarro]

Great win to Stosur

No, but then I don't follow tennis threads on ozgolf much.

Yes, pull your head in.

[TheNuclearOne]

Great win by Stosur, she should kick on now. Williams showed her usual class.

[AndyP]

The press conferences aren't up yet. I'm really interested in what they both have to say, particularly Serena. I wonder if she thinks Stosur has got better at framing the ball.

[TheNuclearOne]

Nice avatar AndyP.

... or complete lack thereof. Her comments to the umpire as reported by Foxsports.

"If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way," Williams said, while seated during the change.

"You're a hater and you're unattractive."

I've disliked the Williams sisters from day one b/c of their egotistical & disrespectful behaviour; particularly when losing.

I agree.... very bad losers.... and usually just as bad when they win

yes, hated it. and still won't support him because of it

[Yossarian]

I thought she said unattractive on the inside.
