Djokovic and Nadal can gtfo of the tournament along with Federer thanks. Men's tennis needs some new faces at the top.

Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. I wonder if Ch9 will use 2 channels.

 

[JamisonRun40]

You know what I miss the press interviews. Ch7 use to show them.

If there is a God, Serena Williams will lose and thus will end her chances at ever winning here again.

I'm worried for Naomi, hopefully she can get through.

Still 1 channel.

They didn't tonight when Cilic and RBA played a 5 setter...so doubt it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope Halep saves tennis tomorrow. Come on Simona!

Osaka match has upset written all over it imo.

Djokovic

Is there any chance he won't make the semi? Then can Zverev rise to the task?

But I would love a Zverev v Tsitsipas final (and Osaka v Barty for the women) #prettyplease

Quick answer. NO.

Novak is just too good. Thought last round was his most dangerous match until the final. Zverev isn't troubling him.

just started watching Sunday's Offsiders, they lead with the tennis feud

Federer says he will play the French this year

Once Rafa has overtaken Federer's total, then yes.

Yeah, now he will!

 

[caesar88]

I think Serena and Svitolina will suffer the biggest losses. Keys has everything it takes to beat girls like Svitolina, and I think Halep is just going to run Serena ragged even with Serena's past record over her. Serena may be lucky to win five or six games for the whole match.

I'm also intrigued by Muguruza. Like Serena, you can just tell when she's having an off day, and when she's having an off day, she stinks. But I just get this feeling that she could go all the way here for the first time if she can just get to that final.

 

[JackNah_8]

I wouldnt be surprised if Svitolina loses today, she was pretty average the other day.

 

[Wolfs]

So Keys and Svitolina get shafted out of RLA for a legends Doubles?

The ****

 

[Andronicus]

What time is kick off for Halep and Serena?

Night session so 7pm

Hint it may be his final season if he plans to play the French ?

He’s not winning Wimbledon or the US with Novak or Rafa fit so he might as well play the French

 

[Xtreme]

Hopefully Djokovic gets bungled out tonight

It would make this years Open a lot more interesting on the Men's side (interesting enough for Aussie Rafa to reclaim his mantle as king of Rod Laver Arena ).

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I think he could potentially beat Rafa, but yeah I agree regarding Novak.
