2026 Australian Open

[satty]

We are seeing a repeat of the early Rodger and nadal domination with the way sinner and alatraz have dominated the recent grand slams.

Really tough to see who can make the leap to potentially challenge these two as a title contender.

are you Tony Jones?

Whenever I hear that name I think of Tom Jones. Can't stand that ****ing song burning down the house.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yet you'd criticise Shelton for his on court antics (having a laugh, showing character) when Novak is way worse.

There is a difference Novak has 20 plus slams what’s Shelton actually done, you earn the right to be a bit of a muppet so to speak . I know he’s not a player I like much but I’d rather him win tonight.

The difference is you'd expect the antics at Shelton's age years ago, but not at Djokovic's. There's the difference.

Young Shelton.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

It's hot in the kitchen.

It was for his kids you are reading too much into it. It was for a TicToc thing or whatever the kids were doing

So many tattoos on Carlos

Carloth.

Novak is one of the nicest guys on tour I don't get why he's hated

He was a massive dickhead when he was younger and people don’t forget that

To some extent he suffers from the Lendl factor - i.e. played very boring homogenous tennis that beat a lot of more popular and interesting players

He also cheats on his wife

Who said he cheats on his wife?

 

[Some Idiot]

232kph serve from Shelton

 

[eaglespremiers]

Why is he a stain on the sport?

Mate, don't feed the troll.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

I don't believe it tbh. It's possible. But I doubt it.

 

[Munich]

I'm bored already

 

[RCAB]

I don't I've ever seen someone hit 11 first serves in a row. Finally missed his first one at 12th.

It‘s a fairly open secret within tennis that he is (or used to be) a serial adulterer

Jelena almost kicked him out around his 2016 career slump, he may have cleaned up his act

 

[X_box_X]

Haha the crowd

30-0 and Sinner serves a double fault. Several in the crowd groan as if it's a break point. Settle down, it's now 30-15.

All rumours. May be true. May not be. Who knows what to believe.

 

[X_box_X]

These two will be dying for a sit down.

 

[X_box_X]

Dangerous service game for Shelton here as he has 90 seconds to dwell on a missed opportunity.

 

[YeoShuey]

Sinner doesn't look comfortable

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Sinner doesn't look comfortable

Yes he does

 

[YeoShuey]

Shelton better not win this.

If he goes through, I am concerned about that strapping around his leg and the chance of another withdrawal for Djokovic
