Dominic Hrbaty, an ex-champion, and an up-and-coming Scot, Andy Murray.
And the American Robbie Ginepri, yesterday.

I was watching that. I forgot who won, but I wasn't really watching the game. More the one person. Mario Mancic, I think. He's sooooooooo good looking!!!!!!!!!!!

The final is between Mario Ancic & Yako Nieminen, and it should be good.

The semi-finals were awesome!

Considering New Zealand hasn't got a player near the top 100 I'm not surprised...

It's a pity.

There are none. That's the point!

Yes, well that's the problem really. We aren't as much of a multi-sporting sountry as we should be. It's rugby (yahoo! :o ), netball, and everything else we don't compete as well in except for sports like rowing, yachting and formerly equestrian.

We have a big following for heaps of other sports, but for some reason our professionals just don't perform.

He's sticking around for the Hurricanes and Lions I believe...
