Grand Slam Australian Open (Day 5)

Raonic was far too good.

He's much better than his ranking suggests. Hope he goes far in this tournament.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Osaka is more likely to turn it on than Gauff in a Quarter or semi. She’s a multiple slam champion

Hang on You've claimed Osaka would thrash Gauff. A 15 year old has humbled that 2 time slam champion in an hr and 10 minutes. Osaka is a nut case. Her mental fragility is not beating a Pliskova, Barty or even Svitolina at the moment.

How good is Melbourne Arena tomorrow wow!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Damn, Tsitsipas out. All my favourites losing today.

Pliscova is the worst mentally she’d have won 5 grand slams if she had a brain.

I’m happy Osaka lost she was awful tonight but had she got through she was a bigger danger in my opinion

Prefer the RLA lineup myself.

what games are on there? Kyrgios obviously but who else?

 

[FreoRicci]

She hasn’t been the same since last year

Yeah. Something in between the ears. Almost as if she doesn’t believe herself. The media, popularity etc as soon as she won the US overwhelmed her tbh. She tried to live quietly but that’s hard enough being a world number 1. She has to embrace it.
She ll have to find that passion again, she’s still so young.

 

[ItsGameTime]

YES RAONIC!

Terrible matches on RLA can’t see any being close

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Monfils/Gulbis, Mertens/Bellis, Kyrgios/Khachanov

 

[FreoRicci]

Can’t tell if Millman is Australian or not. Far out even aussies still support Fed. Tennis Snobs huh

Joke of a crowd

 

[Royces Hart]

Millman’s ball sack keeps popping out

I wonder if she really enjoys it. Whenever I hear her interviewed she seems very lukewarm about it all.

Of all observations lol

 

[BobbyMorri]

Monfils/Gulbis could be fun.

so happy for Wang. shocked by Osaka, but she had a mare. The Aus Open had been fairly shock-free until today.

Barty has been the real winner from the upsets. Riske might be annoying but only Kvitova remains and I feel Barty a real chance against her(as long as it stays fine and the roof never closes). Looks like we will have a first-time semi-finalist again for the girls. Only Zhang remains on Osaka side.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Tiebreakers make me nervous

 

[MJG14]

Crowd is really pro-Federer. Wouldn't even think an Australian is playing.

 

[laraanita]

Tiebreakers make me nervous

This one is not a good one

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

This one is not a good one

I missed what Woodbridge was saying but my feeling is Millman is poor in TBs against these top players.

 

[Royces Hart]

Merkin looks happy in Fed’s box

 

[FreoRicci]

Gee poor tiebreak that.

He's Aussie Federer, no?
