The Australian Open has started today. It is one of the best sporting comps in Australia.

All discussion about the Open can be put in here.

Who is everyones favourite to win the Open, for me I am going for Nadal, as he is my favourite tennis player but I hope Hewitt and Stosur can go deep into the Comp.

Already Sharapova has won in straight sets and has moved into the second round.

For the Australian women they came into the tournament with 9 players but we have already lost one in Olivia Rogowska.
 
The womens world number 1 Wozniacki has moved into the 2nd round with a striaght sets win.

The first seed of the Open has been elliminated in Sam Querrey number 18 seed. Lost in 5 sets to Kubot.

And WHAT A COMEBACK. Gael Monfils has come back to win in 5 sets. A great game to watch.

Great win by Monfils
 
I think its kind of a joke that with three channels of seven showing it, not one of them is in HD. Takl about being behind the pack! They only have two (three? cant remember what the melbourne cup is on) major sporting events shown on their channel being the AUS Open and the AFL (they lost the rights to international rugby).

Anyway...ANDY MURRAY! YEAHHH!!! Federer is looking devastating early on. Hewitt is coming into this with a few high profile wins but you just never know if he'll choke or not. He will be apart of THE first round matchup of the whole tournament though against Nalbandian. Still I would love Murray to win this thing, and for Gasquet and Tomic to go far. Not sure about those two though, they're entertaining but can be inconsistent.
 
Nadal v Federer games are awesome to watch. Especially when there finals the atmosphere is great.

Early on in this match Federer looks like he is on his game already. I just want for one tournament Federer to lose in the first round. that would make my day easily :).

That would be awesome!!
 
Roger Federer has just advanced easily into the 2nd round with a great performance in the straight sets win.

Roddick is up 2 sets to 0 at the moment and is also looking very good. Could be a threat to the title.

Davydenko has been knocked out of the Open in the first round, which is a massive shock. I thought he was going to be a threath to the Open this year. Massive shock

Yeah he's been in some form the last 12 months and he's always been consistently in the top 10. But he is known to play crap against the loewr players.

I generally don't watch women's tennis unelss theyre australian, and after a minor rain delay, dokic has just come out and blasted away. Can't do much wrong. The dumbass commentator lady keeps talking about her past but the only people who wouldn't know about it are coincidentally the ones that wuoldn't care.
 
Yep Dokic has eased into the second round in straight sets. Im hoping she can do very well in this tourament as she is one of my favourite women players.

Venus Williams has also gone through in straight sets. Tonights games should be good with Groth in excellent form at the moment and hopefully she can pull of a good win against the number 21 seed. Then the number 3 seed Djokovic is on. I dont like him but he can sometimes be funny to watch.

djokovic moves very well for someone of his height. He's also got a good defense and is an example of how players who stay at the back of the court should play. He's just so consistent and solid.
 
Unfortunitly groth has lost to wickmayer. I though she was going to win it so I'm pretty dissapointed. It's up to stosur and dokic now for us Aussies.

Now time for novak to come to the court
 
I'd really like to see Tsonga go all the way, he's such a talent and a crowd pleaser. He has all the skills to be the best, but he just doesn't have the composure like the Federers and Nadals do.

I reckon Nadal will win it.
 
Novak Djokovic won last night in straight sets to ease through.

Lots of Aussies up today with Tomic playing now along with Peers and Fergurson. Up next is Nadal and then Stosur so today should be a good days of tennis.

Then tonight is going to be a beauty. Safina V Clijsters and then Hewitt V Nalbandian.
