Kooyong Classic Exhibition
Final: Bernard Tomic d Mardy Fish - 64 36 75
3rd Place: Jurgen Melzer d Gael Monfils - 63 67(10) 62
I dunno, I kinda like the idea of playing for 3rd place.
Only at the Slams tho. It would be pretty cool as far as I'm concerned.
Hell, they play for the bronze at the Olympics don't they?

Whoops. It's one thing to lose Novak - it's another to lose this bad.
That a lovely photo of Fernando Verdasco at the Kooyong Classic kicking some Novak Djokovic butt, 61 62. Novak Novak Novak. And you just know this is gonna be a quarterfinal match in about a weekend and a half - the tennis gods seem to be cruel this way.
Fernando will play Jo-Wilfriend Tsonga in the final. Tsonga was gifted hi semi win when Juan Martin Del Potro pulled with a slight wrist injury.

What's with all these exhibition tournaments...
Yea, if were a tournament organizer I'd be pissed too.
Today Novak Djokovic mowed down Tommy Haas, 62 63.
And Juan Martin Del Potro breezed past Ivan Ljubicic, 63 63.
Both matches - young gun v old fart. Old farts can do damage, see next post.
Looking at this pic of the two of them at a Kooyong presser a couple days ago I was struck by how similar these two looked - almost as though they could be brothers. Except one of them got all the cute genes.
This one. Total cuteness.

Smile Showdown: Fernando Verdasco vs Tomas Berdych
Wow, how bored am I?
Fern & Tomas are playing the Kooyong Classic this week.
Remember, Fern won this exo title last year.
Both boys finished 2010 in the top 10 - Tomas at #6, Fern at #9.
They both enjoyed a very strong 1st 6 months of 2010 then they tapered.
In fact, in Fern's last 6 tournies he's won only 2 matches.
But in this showdown of smiles I'll go with Fern all day long.
I SAID I WAS BORED.
