Post by: Scunner on January 28, 2011, 22:32:25 PM: Try as I might, I simply cannot see how he is going to engineer a total failure this time?

Last time we went to Oz we'd just won the Rugby World Cup so maybe - just maybe it's a good omen!

Is losing in the Final of a Grand Slam a total failure ?. Is Kenny would say, maybe aye, maybe no.

But I don't remember peolpe making so much of the fact that Serbia have never had a champion until Djokovic. That must have put pressure on the proud Serb.

Well done to him today not only for his play but also for his victory speech which was excellent :)
