Gonzales mystery solved....from BBC

Russia's Marat Safin beat David Nalbandian 5-7 6-1 6-2 before the Argentine withdrew from the event because of a knee injury.

His place in the Kooyong draw has been taken by Chile's Fernando Gonzalez, the world number 10.

I'm not gonna set up another thread for today's predictions so just continue to predict here if you want to.

Andy RODDICK (USA) v Andy MURRAY (GBR)

Ivan LJUBICIC (CRO) v Radek STEPANEK (CZE)

Tommy HAAS (GER) v Fernando GONZALEZ (CHI)


liam_valid - January 11, 2007 03:36 PM (GMT)
Andy RODDICK (USA) v Andy MURRAY (GBR) 2-0

Ivan LJUBICIC (CRO) v Radek STEPANEK (CZE)2-0

Tommy HAAS (GER) v Fernando GONZALEZ (CHI)2-0

I reckon Murray has a chance with Roddick, but im keeping to my 2-0 system :P

petalp - January 11, 2007 08:30 PM (GMT)
Jo, I didn't realise that you were running predictions too!! :o


Andy RODDICK (USA) v Andy MURRAY (GBR) 2-1

Ivan LJUBICIC (CRO) v Radek STEPANEK (CZE) 2-0

Tommy HAAS (GER) v Fernando GONZALEZ (CHI) 0-2


mightyjeditribble - January 11, 2007 10:10 PM (GMT)

Andy RODDICK (USA) v Andy MURRAY (GBR)

Tough one to call. I can see basically any possible result, from 2-0 A-Rod to 2-0 Murray, but I think I'll give the edge to A-Rod this time.

RODDICK - MURRAY: 2-1

The other two are pretty difficult as well, but I'll go with:

Ivan LJUBICIC (CRO) v Radek STEPANEK (CZE) 2-1

Tommy HAAS (GER) v Fernando GONZALEZ (CHI) 0-2

Dinky Jo - January 13, 2007 01:30 PM (GMT)
Right, because i'm just generally useless, i forgot to put up a predictions thread for the final of Kooyong. :blink: Don't worry, i'm punishing myself for my uselessness already :whip:

Also, because so few people played i thought i'd just put up people's hit-rates so:

Quiet Angel - 58%

Liam - 57% (pretty good for someone who apparently knows nothing about men's tennis!)

MJT - 44%

Dinky Jo - 42%

Saviour - 40%

El Huegi - 25%

Petalp - 11% :yikes:

I should do that in future then, rather than worrying about players' form and things like that ;)2
