As we get ready to watch the Australian Open tonight, here is a valuable companion piece for you all to enjoy: The Black Book compiled by Djamel Abed and his, well, Core group. It contains all the significant stats compiled by Core over 2007. This will be your post for match-calling and discussion of the events at the AO.
There ought to be plenty to talk about, too, what with Roger Federer vs. Grand Slam Ironman Fabrice Santoro, Marat Safin vs. Marcos Baghdatis (the men's version of Davenport vs. Sharapova, only Lindsay isn't from Cyprus), and Sam Querrey vs. Dmitry Tursunov.
I will post more on this, but our man in Melbourne, Tom(ahawk) Perrotta of *String Theory* fame will be answering questions for y'all on Friday morning (Melbourne time). I'll post more details tomorrow. Tom and I will also do a "live chat" in an actual post sometime next week.
Enjoy the matches, see you tomorrow!
