Lleyton Hewitt just managed to scrape past qualifier Magnus Larsson in the first round of the Australian Open.

It went a full five sets: 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2

A very tough, hard-hitting match.

Great tennis!!

PS they even delayed the news and my wife's fav soapie to broadcast the full match live. Boy is my wife mad!

Our Lleyton was not the only No.1 seed to get a fright today.

Serena Williams nearly got rolled as well.

That soapie would be Home and Away wouldn't it?
My girls are watching it now. Absolute rubbish.

Just quickly punctuate that.

Prolly wrong, episodes.

Freudian?

Slip?

Prolly, wrong episodes; anyway.

Prolly wrong episodes, anyway.

Prolly; wrong - episodes - anyway.

Prolly wrong - episodes, anyway.

Punctuation DOES matter, my old English teacher always said!

PS Doesn't matter any more - she's mad at Channel Seven now...

yay mark just won his second round match against Paradorn Srichaphan.

RustyGT · 01-16-2003, 03:39 AM

Yeah, Mark looks reasonably fit and very relaxed.
He could use a break from those knee injuries.

Actually "our Lleyton" is on the box now, playing another Aussie, Todd Larkham.

Did he win? I missed it..

Out shopping with my kids...

... yep - bit of a whitewash, too... 6-1, 6-0, 6-1.

A bit like Agassi's match against the Korean fella yesterday.
