Big question in Melbourne and possible the rest of Australia..Can Tomic beat Federer tonight? Me thinks maybe not given the 5 set match against his nemisis Dolgopolov..the recovery might not be there. His has matured and his game is there..so lets hope he does.
Please lets leave any mention of Hewitt out of this thread..I absolutely lothe the guy...always have always will...sorry no TIC
Win or not tonight, I have a feeling that Bernard will be a consistent top two or three player very soon. He's maturing quickly and will build his mental game. Looking forward to watching the match.
Yeah, he is playing well. He has taken 1 set off Federer in a previous match. I was a bit disapointed with him the other night when he said he didnt challange the call on the back line during the game when he clearly did.
As much as I don't like admitting it, the outcome is a bit predictable still. Thats OK, he has years ahead of him. He's doing well! It is Roger Federer....
Jeez..Tomic really needs to work on his post match interview. Two things bugged me...the over use of 'You Know' and the tongue thing...reminds me of Pete Sampras.
Either way his did well but Federer doesn't reward mistakes. His performance in the Australian Open at least has improved Tomic's ranking.
past his best now but he has been Australia's best and highest ranked player in the modern era
