Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Match Day (closed)

[Richard Cranium]

It's a pointless comment to make and doesn't make you sound clever.

Pointless and not clever.

The LP M.O.

 

[carlton_99]

Sinner keeps playing at this level and I think the final might be a quick one. Brilliant performance so far

 

[Xtreme]

What this match needs now is a walkover!

 

[new breed]

Zverev is in fine form , Sinner won't have it easy .....

 

[armpit]

Broken him in more ways than one at this stage.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

The momentum has to change again imo

 

[Some Idiot]

It’s petulant now.
I used to think it was USA, then French as the worst crowds. AO is certainly up there now

The crowd grew up watching Hewitt and Kyrgios acting petulant on the court.

 

[armpit]

Bar the 1st set, Shelton doing no better than De Minaur. He must be taking some solace from that.

 

[My Cotchin Rules]

The crowd grew up watching Hewitt and Kyrgios acting petulant on the court.

Hewitt crowd were patriotic but also pretty joyful most times. Never remember them booing opposing players or making noise between serves. That putrid W️ Kygrios is to blame, he has introduced & encouraged these thugs to the game.

 

[BillyElliott]

Alex would know exactly how Ben is feeling.

And dare I say, majority of the players who have played against Jannick.

 

[myblueroan]

Just saw that the unhappy Goat-herd quit last nite.

Yes!!!
Watching the final is back on.
Should be fun with Sinner v Zverev.

 

[ep2018]

Sinner will win the next few Aussie Opens imo.

 

[carlton_99]

Nice start

 

[new breed]

Sinner will win the next few Aussie Opens imo.

Looks unwell a little still but so classy in his shot making , moves so well ...looks like he needs a good feed though.
But classy.

 

[armpit]

Maybe Shelton can pull himself out of the dumps.

Felt Hewitt's crowd was more like Aussie Aussie Aussie types no booing just cheering their man. I'm just don’t get tennis crowds booing is dumb. I kind of think it's dumb in footy as well but there might be a reason for it like a dirty act or terrible umpiring decision.

 

[Drummond]

Shelton is just too passive. He has the shots, he should just be letting rip. Stop letting Sinner dictate rallies, stop standing at the Melbourne sign.

 

[FreoRicci]

This crowd didn’t grow up on Hewitt.
Australians just hate all things non Federer, let’s be real.
Now that Nadal retired as well, it’s even worse.

Shelton has been trying to dictate the points but when every shot from Sinner lands a few cm from the baseline it's hard to step in more than he is.

 

[Drummond]

Underscore going heavy on the dislikes here.

Djokovic is the only player I have seen crowds consistently have an issue with. And it isn't even Australia-specific. So not sure where the "hate all things non-Federer" comes from

Been called worse I guess

So because Federer & Nadal have retired, the Aussie crowds at the AO have become bogans, rude & boo?

 

[new breed]

Great experience here for Shelton , learning experience had his chance , set point first set chances to break Sinner early third set also .

 

[smasha]

Sinner is like an Ex Machina robot programmed to perfection.
Unbeatable.
