am I late? Is somebody still alone?

Well... as we are with an even number, the odds are pretty high that as long as you are alone, someone else is as well...

Check out Cooke's list of players further up on the page. He has also listed teams.

Report semi finals doubles Brisbane.

Team 1 vs. Team 3

Sammy Tanghe/Fhaemita Malodorous against Jonathan Clay/Johny English A.

A close game in the first two sets. Each team wins one, but Fhaemita seems to be in a very good form this match. He easily forces team 3 to get to the baseline, which isn't their stongest point. With some smashes of Sammy Tanghe, the third set is for team 1. The 4th set is much more balanced but Jonathan Clay reacts too slow on some occasions and hereby ruins the chances of the team, as Johny English A isn't able to balance it with his winners.

Team 1 vs Team 3: 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2

Team 6 vs Team 7

Ahakas/RaphZz against El1temkd/Tecuvo.
On both teams there are challengers for this years singles title. Will this match give a taste of the final? And let's hope this match doesn't affect the outcome of the singles matches, as it's a very though one. Lots of aces on both sides, with a slight advantage to team 6. This leads to a win in the first set for them. A tiebreak decides the outcome in the 2nd set. An ace from RaphZz gives the set to Team 6 once again. But Team 7 isn't scared. With some great winners they take the third set easily. In the few rallies, team 7 has the most winners. But the serves decide the result in the end. Win for team 6.

Team 6 vs. Team 7: 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 7-5


Final doubles Brisbane:

Team 1 vs. Team 6

... Report and result tomorrow

/me throws racket at the floor... those were IN I tell you, IN. There's clearly a problem with line judging here in brisbane, I hope this doesn't continue during the rest of the season.

me joins Nohjis on this one: clearly some players are pushed forward by the line judges, ... and by the chair empires . No way i could have lost otherwise against Maryam's lobs, with me going at the net only when sure to finish the point... and with my serve and forhand on hard...

I demand Hawkeye system from now on even on smaller tournaments.

Luckily that sytem will counter those judges at Australian Open...

It appears that we have some John McEnroe types in our tournament.

Report semi finals singles Brisbane

Ahakas vs. Critically

Surprisingly equally matched players. Both placers seem to try to exhaust their opponent. The first set goes to Ahakas in a tiebreak. The crowd supports Ahakas as Critically has the reputation of being a copycat. This leads to frustration and Critically even calls the referee corrupt. The crowd is now totally against him, and without support, Critically loses the two final sets.

Ahakas vs. Critically: 7-6 (7-4), 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-2


MaryamQ vs. Tecuvo

This is a close game too. Overall, Tecuvo seems to be superior to MaryamQ, mostly in the serving. The rally's are very long, but Tecuvo takes the first set with 6-4. A completely different image in the second one, as MaryamQ wins almost every rally. Tecuvo will need to pick up his pace again. The rest of the match is mostly one-sided, as Tecuvo unbalances MaryamQ with his hard services. Also, he doesn't make faults anymore. We'll see him back in the final.

MaryamQ vs. Tecuvo: 4-6, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6


Final:

Ahakas vs. Tecuvo

Final doubles Brisbane

Team 1 vs. Team 6 = Sammy Tanghe/Fhaemita Malodorous vs. Ahakas/RaphZz

Great tactics by team 1! The placer Ahakas can't fully use his abilities with two opponents close to him, if he's near the net. The first set is very easily won by team 1. And the same story in set 2. RaphZz is able to keep up the pace, but he doesn't stand a chance to the power of Sammy Tanghe. The third set is more show than a real match. This leads to a closer game, but still a clear win for Sammy Tanghe and Fhaemita Malodorous!

Sammy Tanghe/Fhaemita Malodorous vs. Ahakas/RaphZz: 6-1, 6-2, 6-4




Congratulations!

Damn, I lost both matches But I think Team 7 is superior (we lost only because Tecuvo is too tired - he cannot play in such a good form on both singles and doubles at the same time! He should win the final now! He must... Tecuvo! Tecuvo! Tecuvo! Tecuvo!!!!

And about Final...Once I won agains tecuvo in dubles...hope I will repeat it in Singles!

Final singles Brisbane

Ahakas vs. Tecuvo

The crowd is in full support of Ahakas, after his win against Critically. Will this affect the game?

Both players have the same playing style, which leads to some spectacular points. But the services of Ahakas are the most important in the first set, which pleases the crowd and goes to a complete party when he wins the first set. But as tiredness comes, the few errors of Tecuvo bring him back in the game. The third set is equal to the first set, but the number of rally's increase, which leads to a more challenging game. This doesn't affect the outcome: Ahakas wins again. And in the fourth set, the services of Ahakas leads to desparation for Tecuvo. After 40 mins. in the final set, Ahakas can call himself the winner in Brisbane.

Ahakas vs. Tecuvo: 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2

and nothing on me and fhaemita? :'(

we've done great, fhaemita :p

Sorry, Sammy. You and Fhaemita are the bee's knees.

Congratz to everyone. I'm still waiting for the grass season. I will kick ass then .

Helviro, well played but our time will come

Brisbane wasn't why we travelled to Australia. Both in the singles and doubles Nohjis and I tactically saved our energy to amaze Australia on the hardcourt Grand-Slam, where the REAL prizes can be won.

I'm aiming for the olympics. My entire season is built around that one

Tomorrow starts the Australian Open!

Welcome to Melbourne. Enjoy your stay!

OK, this will be my goal, B&E, Let's consider this a warmup for the olympics!

I'm going to extend my losing streak
