Australian Open 2015 - Day 7

[vaughany]

Berdych $2.50
Nadal $ 1.54

Does Kyrgios get RLA Tuesday night session? 99% chance?
Be interesting see if they are tempted to make day session halep v makarova, genie v sharapova then berdych v nadal. Kyrgios the night match

This match has a 5 set epic feel to it...

Also how many times have the commentators asked the same question 'if you were teaching a kid today would you make them have a one or two handed backhand?', reckon i've heard it 4-5 times.

Huge fan of Kyrgios' game and have followed him since he made a run through the boys Australian Open singles in 2011, but not shaking the umpire's hand is disrespectful. Extremely disappointing.

Yeah true but did he deliberately not shake it and just caught up in moment and forgot or? Some are saying Seppi didn't shake either?

Did he definitely not shake hands? It was a pretty bad camera angle.

 

[BluesMan]

Crowds have been pretty disrespectful this tournament

Can we start calling this "shakegate"?

Shake to the left shake to right

 

[pepsi]

Crowds have been pretty disrespectful this tournament

The yelling out between first and second serves, during rallies and even when someone is in service motion has been bloody embarrassing.

 

[Kaan]

Can't see Kyrgios getting near either of these 2 even if this match goes the distance unfortunately..

Needs to play at the level he was at against Nadal.

Load up on Rafa, Berydch can't beat him lol. Will be close though.

Seppi seemed disappointed and went straight to his chair and Kyrgios seemed to go straight to Seppi around the umpire for a hand shake. Nothing in it.

Is Kyrgios eyebrow alright?

Yep, along with record crowds goes record number of idiots I think.

 

[vaughany]

would love to see ch7 ratings for tonight's matches.

Kudos to ch7 for not jumping to advertisements during the final set of Kyrgios march

Is it true 17k were in Hisense tonight?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dimitrov is so much better to watch

 

[Andronicus]

Who didn't shake the umpire's hand?

Nick didn't appear to. I may have missed it but was looking for him to go and didn't see it.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

More calling out during a serve....

 

[Bailey01]

There we go!!

 

[AM]

Geez! Bit of a whinge fest here.

Fantastic match to watch. Great fighting spirit by Kyrgios to win it.

Really wish 7 wouldn't any use ground level shots when serving as you can't pick where the ball lands. Elevation 7. Elevation.

 

[Bailey01]

Dimitrov is so much better to watch

No Gael Monfils is but that doesn't matter

 

[vaughany]

For some reason I get the feeling the result of this match will affect Tuesday nights RLA schedule.

Murray wins will be:
Kyrgios v Murray
Doubles match

Murray loses will be:
Genie v Sharapova
Nadal v Berdych

 

[Underarm]

If that was a 'composed' match, id hate to see him fly off the handle...

 

[Righteo]

Grigor with the break!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Cannot see Nick NOT being the night match regardless.

Would result in a mass evacuation of the arena, I'm sure of it. Toppling the umpire's chair is a guarantee. John McEnroe could never.
