2016 Aussie Watch

[Redline]

Duckie got a win because Lopez got injured. Reckon he'd take that without a second thought.

I think that should put him at around 150 on the rankings. Great to stop the slide he was on.

An Aussie will be in the winning team at the Stockton Challenger doubles final. John Patrick-Smith and Matt Reid vs Sam Groth.

 

[Redline]

Matosevic through to the second round in Ho Chi Mihn City.

Barton back on court. He took a wildcard into the futures event in Cairns.

Groth and his partner the eventual winners in this one.

While the doubles form of Reid, Smith and Groth has been good it has cost them some singles qualifying spots.

I guess It's a difficult position to be in when you are a good doubles player but can't get direct singles entry. Perhaps for Groth any win is a good one at the moment confidence wise.

It does seem like he plays with more confidence in doubles. I think some people are better suited to playing in a team and Groth always strikes me as one of those.

Thompson follows Mato.

Bizarrely the first seed is already gone.

Kyrgios, that was the poorest Australian sporting performance anywhere, of all time, of any sport, ever.

Nick is a nutcase, all the talent but unfortunately his mental aptitude is severely lacking. He's one of those people who think that since he's done well one week it'll come easy for him the next and he'll be able to cruise. Don't know what the **** he is thinking sometimes... that display was honestly worse than Tomic's worst.

They are both a disgrace. Surely Lleyton can't defend either of them this time. Kyrgios was an embarrassment to the whole sport today. Surely those piss weak tennis officials can do more than give him a meaningless fine. How about a 12 month suspension? What he did today was equivalent to matchfixing IMO.

good to see sportsbet justice refund all bets on him tonight.

JPS into quarters of Monterrey challenger.

Groth follows after beating the fourth seed.

Ben Mitchell has retired.

Ben Mitchell has retired.

Can't say I'm surprised. He has a young child now I think. Can't be easy travelling around at the Challenger level with a young family.

 

[Firestarter]

Pretty young bloke but tended to remain in the 200s. Good luck to him.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Jordan Thompson into the final today of the Ho Chi Minh City Challenger. He plays Go Soeda.

Eating my words. He won in 3.

Good win too, came back from being a set and a break down.

He saved two match points

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Good win from Thommo

A few Aussies in the Ningbo Challenger in China this week; Millman, Thompson, Whittington and Matosevic.

Thompson withdraws. Can probably afford to have a week off now after winning a title and can prepare for the next two weeks of Challengers in Aus

 

[Redline]

Whittington and Matosevic lose their first round matches. After the withdrawal of Thompson, Marinko played a lucky loser with a qualifier waiting in the second round but it was not to be.

Groth on court tonight in Vegas.

 

[Firestarter]

Matt Reid and Groth continue their doubles campaigns on opposite sides of the draw. (#1 and #2 seed respectively).

Groth into semis.

 

[Firestarter]

Millman into Ningbo semis. That would be my pass mark as first seed

 

[vaughany]

Should beat Moriya quite comfortably then face Yen Hsun Lu in the final.
