Was interested to hear that they were seeded 2 and 3. I thought that 2 and 3 were in the same half of the draw, meeting in the semi's with the other semi being 1 v 4 assuming the seeds get through that far.

I had a look to see if that was the same situation in the Mens' draw, and found that there was no #1 seed! Weird.

Because Nadal withdrew after the seeding and draw was done.

The Herald declared that VEnus made the no 1 rated player look like a rank amateur - that was their headline. The tennis rating system is worse than Glicko one and two.

I really hope Federer does his usual job of crushing Roddick.

YEAH!! GO FEDERER!!

[Rincewind]

YEAH!! GO FEDERER!!

I'm confused. Are you going for Federer or Roddick?

I thought you were telling Federer to go... somewhere, anywhere, but just go!

I've gotta say, I'm impressed that Roddick seems to have curtailed his usual fits of aimlessly abusing the umpire and linespeople - I thought he'd be a prick for life. About bloody time, frankly.

I don't think Roddick was ever a prick but he's definitely settled down since getting married.

And frankly who wouldn't with a wife who looks like this:

I dunno, the way he'd abuse the chair umpire almost constantly when HE was missing the court was quite a prickish move. I know, heat of the competition and all that, but still, I have trouble imagining someone's really a nice guy after the absolute nasty abuse that Roddick gave out to people just trying to do their job.

But like I said, I'm glad to see that it seems to have gone, he's probably a better tennis player for it too, redirecting his energy onto the court.

The girl's cute, not my type though. But if she mellows him out, I'm all for her

McEnroe was MUCH worse and people loved to watch. These days tennis has become too sterile. It is good to see players firing up and showing their emotions although at times Roddick does go a bit too far.

Lol yeah, but it's hilarious to watch
