AUSTRALIAN Open runner-up Simona Halep was reportedly admitted to hospital after her loss to Caroline Wozniacki in the women’s final on Saturday night.

ESPN has reported that Halep, who was treated during the second set of the final for a headache and dizziness, spent four hours in hospital and was treated for dehydration.

You can’t say anything critical about Federer. Like how he chucked a tantrum at the start of the 5th set.

I am not referring to Cilic. I am referring to Federer who is one of the best players in the world and who knows how to finish games.
5-set matches in Grand Slams:
Federer - 27-14
Cilic - 21-9 (and 8 of last 9)

Of course Federer would be favoured going into a 5th set, but to say that he would just walk away with it (without the advantage of hindsight), especially in the context of how the two were playing at the end of the 4th set, was just speculation and homerism, which is fine, but then trying to defend it by saying 'he know it's the decider' is dumb af.

Actually, the analysis was made at the beginning of the fifth set where Federer clearly had all the momentum. As if Federer was going to lose the match in one of the best forms he was in throughout the whole match.

Is that what I said? You must just be another bandwagoner?

His current standard is nowhere near his 1st - 18th slams.

Of course not. He’s 37 this year. His game will fall away. Probabably 1-2 more years of being able to win majors.

Worst presentation ever.

Yesterday had the little girl who stole the camera. This is just lame.
