Well done guys, thoroughly deserved win after that comeback from 4-1 down. And now you're both in the final together ... awwww. Sweet.  Right Big Yin, you win this for wee sis tonight/tomorrow - gawd knows what time you're both out on court. I'm totally confused now. And when you are playing doubles with her, how about giving her a smile now and then? A wee pat on the back and words of encouragement won't go amiss every step of the way. Get her relaxed. As for you, focus. Wide serves, open up the court and get in to the net.  No arsing. You know the drill. I want to see the first piece of silverware of your final year being a joint win with wee sis. Go for it. (And move your feet more when you're waiting for that return ...) FG PS Another feather appeared on my pillow today. I think I'm moulting already. |

And one more thing, in the doubles, stop being a gentleman with the woman on the other side of the net. Whack that ball.
We don't have time for niceties in a final ...

Maryb - the matches start at 4am Atlanta time, so, I think that's 9am for you?!? And I couldn't agree with you more - Hewitt was certainly not nice against the USA. Step it up Marat, go for that diamond encrusted tennis ball, you and little sis deserve it  I can't believe I'm going to wake up at 4am - he better make it worth my while...  |

They are both fighting hard in the third set. Dominic is looking good; Marat is starting to tire. It's 11.45pm in perth, 1.45am here.
