He's not in his hayday anymore though; that's sort of the point.

Being a homosexual would probably be a start =P

But she is boring to watch. Just defends well until the other person hits an unforced error. Female Lleyton Hewitt *yawn*
Ah okay... still, all tennis looks the same to me mostly. Differences in style, or perhaps serve or the like is the only thing I can register - along with a few other things I forgot.

Yeah, I kind of grudgingly respect her, because it does take a lot of consistency and positive energy to play the way she does, and she is very clear headed on court. I don't like her game for aesthetic reasons basically.

Also, she seems too happy and well-adjusted. I hate people like that.

Ah alright, fair enough.

Stan's playing some nice tennis though.
Yeah I really like Stan - very impressive against Roddick.

He's beaten Federer before (if my memory is accurate), but doing it at a Grand Slam will be tough. Kind of hope he can if it means the end of the Fedal duopoly.

Hewitt has a family now & he really should stay with them. Bec said she's not travelling around with him this year because she wants to settle down in Australia as their oldest child is starting school. He should really be there for them & help Bec out with the kids more.

She seems too happy... lol. Maybe arrogantly happy? Like "Haha, I'm happier than you" happy?

I did see Wozniacki at the Medibank International. She's quite tall but she's pretty & she was really nice to everyone. I watched her practice with a fan of hers.

In saying this, Mr. Stan is possibly the best looking male currently playing the Australian Open.

Yes! *Exactly* like that. =P
Yeah, she does give off a bit of a hyper, I'm the happiest person alive.

Why are we refering to him as Mr. Stan? :/
That's what the commentators call him, or they just call him Stan since it's easier than saying his full name. I might have just randomly added Mr. there because it's cool like that.

Of course she's pretty. We already said that =P

Does she speak English...? I suppose so, she's from Denmark right?

All of the players in the AO (or at least the ones that matter) speak English very well, or at the very least with a heavy accent from their mother tongue.

With her? ;D

Oh and Mr Stan just sounds so much better.
Unfortunately not. :( She was too busy practicing & smiling to everyone.

She does speak English! Very easy to understand what she's saying.
