But wacky Nicky can win a doubs match all by himself

I'm not going to bet you on it, because I'm already into you for a drink.

How long has it been for Australia? Late 70s?

1978 for the women. 1976 for men.

Well MM, I called it back when she was in Adelaide. I said it would be really nice if Ash could get over the hump on HC

I was disappointed in the USO last year,though when I saw her in Adelaide winning singles and doubles I knew she could win here

 

[kskate2]

Rafter never won the AO?

Rafter won two U S Opens. I'll have to see if these are available on youtube and post the finals on the video archives. The 1997 final vs Rusedski certainly is.
