Grand Slam - Australian Open (Day 10, Wednesday)

Well, that was an eventful day. who said the mens would be boring. Sport is nothing but unpredictable. I like this schedule. the girls double back tomorrow and Nadal and Thiem could be EPIC!! So could Stan/Sascha. this is the last day below 30. On Thursday it starts to warm up to very hot...

Ite been 12 years and I know people deep down inside be like... man when will be big 3 dominance stop? On the surface yes they are appreciated. But I think people wouldn't mind fresh blood haha.

Raonic is just too tall. Lacks the agility and mobility for long rallies.

I don’t mind it personally. These useless Gen Next can do something for once

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Even Courier is bored lol

There has been enough Next Gen. Just players like Dimitrov has choked since making a few late stages in majors. Monfils, Tsonga, Del Porto never really got going. Perhaps Zverev and Tsitsipas and Thiem can take that next step.

Tsitsipas and Thiem the best of that lot

I'm a massive del Potro fan, such a charismatic and likeable guy. Sucks he's rarely able to get out there due to recurring injuries... Will always have that memorable us open win over Roger though, no one can take that away from him

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

Actually think Stan is literally the only small chance, Nadal is playing terribly...and well Fed is flopping sets to nobodies

Nadal playing terribly? Jesus, you're a harsh critic. He's been brilliant all tournament. I agree though that Stan at his absolute best has the best chance of beating Djokovic in his current form.

Ordinary in the ATP Cup and very patchy early rounds and last night. He’s not serving well.

Injuries have cruelled Delpo's career but he's a great player when he's fit and firing.

 

[swanssince2002]

Remembered as a young kid when del Potro was hyped as the next big thing after the big 4. Shame injuries destroyed his career really. Thought Stan would reach another gear although he did did win 3 grand slams, which is a pretty big feat in the big 4 era. His one handed backhand was a thing of beauty in his prime.

Will be cooler at night and they may close the roof- it won’t matter though Novak will belt him

I am worried about kamikaze ball kids, the crowd, Tiley, etc. Seems every possible measure is taken to protect Federer's slam count.

Hmm, agree to disagree. Lost one set all tournament. I thought he was great last night against a determined Kyrgios. The courts are really slow too, which helps his game.

They tried their best with the draw

Is Fabrice Santoro still the coach of Raonic?

I’m a huge Nadal fan probably just as much as Novak- actually never care who wins between them. However right now I can’t see it. Hope I’m wrong as I want a competitive final

Have you ever heard of someone saying the first thing that comes into his head ? Playing terribly ? ****ing ridiculous.

No.

 

[Sempfy]

Look what happened last year though, Nadal looked unbeatable until Novak made him look pedestrian in the final... and hasn't won a set off him in the last 19 (or is it 20? whatever)
Have zero faith in Nadal beating him on hard courts anymore

I don't think he'd win if they do meet in the final either (although there's still a lot of tennis to be played before we even talk about that match up). To say he's playing terribly though is straight up wrong imo. Anyways, moving on.

It's a shame he is injured again. I wonder if he will try and come back or retire?

 

[JamisonRun40]

It was a shame that Murray couldn't win more slams after getting close on several occasions.

 

[eaglespremiers]

That was incredible from Djokovic.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Beware of Zevrev I think he may of solved his serving problems that made his ATP up

Nadal lost to Goffin. In saying that, Nadal was using it as a warm-up so take the results with a pinch of salt.

(thought you were talking about the ATP Cup, so nevermind)
