Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 6

[JamisonRun40]

WOW not a friendly handshake

 

[SaintBilly]

Oooh that was frosty. What happened at 30-30 when he was pointing to his arm band? I think he said something like “you’re not allowed to do that”.

 

[FreoRicci]

Damn. 0-30. Unforced errors.

 

[FreoRicci]

WOW not a friendly handshake

Not even a grab. More of a peck/slap. That was interesting

 

[YeoShuey]

Bautista Agut started jumping up and down like he won the final

Will get smashed next round. Reminds me of a poorer Ferrer. Solid but nothing special

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Bautista Agut started jumping up and down like he won the final

Lol he beat a Murray who could barley walk

To be fair if I had a crowd against me like that, I probably would too! Either that or give them absolutely nothing.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Murray was ripe for the picking Bautista will get smashed next round

 

[JamisonRun40]

Again no love or respect for Rybakina. Not even a night match. Her match with Swiatek is fist up tomorrow. WTF.

That's even more disrespect for a World Number 1.

 

[BobbyMorri]

How dare they put Linette vs Alexandrova onto the 2nd channel.

This is the main drawcard of the night. Primetime RLA.

Just when I almost came around to liking Murray, he cracks the sooks and is completely ungracious in defeat.

Past history between the two. Bautista Agut isn't an angel either

Fair enough. I just never warmed to Murray, watched him a lot when he was younger when he was annoying and arrogant and that still sometimes comes through now.

I think they did the same for the Novak match. Decided instead to show Murray vs Bautista Agut on main channel.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I wonder if Swiatek requested first match. Oops I probably should be discussing this on Day 7 thread.

 

[FreoRicci]

I see that with Kyrgios. Waited and waited for him to get over his immaturity and dominate like Murray did. Nope. Andy at least put the arrogance aside and worked like a warrior. To be world number 1 with Federer, Nadal, Djokovic at their primes is incredible in itself.

 

[FreoRicci]

Think she did. Seems to like the day matches.

So injured that he disposes of opponents with complete ease and busts into some limping when it suits his psychological tactics.

He has won 21 Grand Slams mate. He probably has enough tactics in his repertoire to not have to resort to faking a limp.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I’d predict that it will probably be Djokovic vs De Minaur. Djokovic has had all night RLA matches this tournament.

Yesterday you could get tickets to the Monday night session for 49 bucks. The cheapest ticket is now 199.

The cynic in me says yes, this match is 100% going on at 7pm on Monday.

So injured that he disposes of opponents with complete ease and busts into some limping when it suits his psychological tactics.

So it's his fault he's that much better a player than his opponents that he can beat them easily being injured?

Been doing it for years.

RBA is a gentleman.

Nothing bad to say about him.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Oh and on a doubles note. Has Mertens and Kudermetova broken up their partnership as they are with different partner this tournament. Merterns with Storm Hunter.
