Australian Open

Well lads I see Andy Murray is starting favourite for this tournament. Is this favourtism justified or is it more English hype?

I backed Federer at 5/2, think he will be hard to beat!

Think Murray has a chance and if it was the best of 3 sets even better chance but in the past the longer matches have caught up with him and he has not had the stamina to play at his best the whole tournament.  He is probably favourite with the bookies as the most money has been placed on him in this part of the world.  He has been the best player in the world in the last month or 2 but it's one thing winning in Dubai in a best of 3 another going 5 sets in the heat against Nadal in the semis and then maybe having to do the same against Federer in the final.

Nadal is showing some grit to try and get back into this match. He's some machine.

Good to see a new winner, Wawrinka would be well able to match the best of them on his day.

Devastated to see that happen my beloved Rafa but Stan deserved it. Some balls from Nadal though and hopefully it doesn't set him back.

Nah, he's been battering on door for last year at top level. Took Djokovic to five in Australia last year and again at the US, having absolutely demolished Murray in the quarters.

It was Derry first wasn't it? But you were back after half an hour.

At least with tennis you got a year out if it.

Lazy comment that. 

lance armstrong?

We all know how Lance became ahem .. "the greatest"

Cycling is an absolute rubbish sport, more cheating here than God knows what.

Lazy comment that, he is innocent until proven guilty, he was never caught and so he is clean, prove him otherwise.

As for me I would have to say Lance Armstrong.
