2017 Aussie Watch

Heartbreak for Ebden in Japan, as he goes down in 3 after going up 6-2 in the 1st and broke Goffin to get back on serve at 5-5 in the 2nd set (lost 7-5) AND the 3rd set (lost 7-1 in the TB).

Great effort nonetheless. He will creep ever so closely to the top 100 after starting the year at #698.

Bagel time... im surprised, havent seen to many of those from Nick kyrgios. Didnt see the set just tuned in on set point so cant say if it was Nick playing well or darcis just not showing up.

Took just 21 mins

Edit Darcis injured but i guess it shows maturity that nick is doing his business and not being caught off guard by Darcis injury

Thompson has qualified for the masters in shanghai coming up this week. Nick is also playing.

 

[Firestarter]

Finally Peers fulfilled his status as a 1st seed. Won Beijing doubles.

 

[ozgamer]

Hon and Ar Rodionova have qual'ed for Hong Kong and Tianjin respectively.

 

[JackNah_8]

Gavrilova is currently playing against Rogers in Hong Kong - one set all

 

[Redline]

Anyone know is happening with Kokkinakis? He has withdrawn again from next weeks tournaments. He hasn't played since the US Open.

 

[pepsi]

Stosur and gavrilova are into the quarters in Hong Kong and both have very winnable matches.

 

[vaughany]

Gavrilova will face fellow aussie Cabrera in the quarters.

Would like to know too. Something must have happened just prior to Davis Cup with him

Next playing in the Traralgon Challenger at this stage, probably Canberra Challenger too

 

[matt_897]

I think he was more focused on pre-season for 2018 from the way he was talking in New York from memory.

 

[pepsi]

Gavrilova has made the final of Hong King and will face pavyulchenkova

 

[Firestarter]

Peers backs up in Shanghai.

 

[JackNah_8]

It's weird seeing Tomic playing the qualifying rounds in a ATP tournament, currently playing in Antwerp.

NICK Kyrgios’ miserable run has continued after the Australian was defeated by world No. 98 Ruben Bemelmans 6-7 (3/7), 6-3, 6-3 at the European Open in Belgium.

Struggled with injury. REST AND PREPARE FOR NEXT YEAR NICK!!!!!!!!!!!

Not doing anyone anything if you keep losing like this;

Kudos to Barty. Well deserved.

Interesting he was a wildcard for that event.

Probably felt guilty and ashamed about his Shanghai performance so wanted too make amends.

Maybe he will realise you can't just switch on off when you want and think results will happen.

 

[Redline]

His body is not holding up. No way he will make it through the Australian summer.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I'm starting to wonder if Nick is playing because he is desperate for the money. I know he is making lots but he may be managing it badly or giving it to hangers off. Just seems odd that he would not structure his schedule better and take time out to rest and recover when needed.

The shock loss is another major blow to the 22-year-old Aussie’s hopes of featuring in the prestigious season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London.

What a load of rubbish. F***ing NewsCorp and their fantasies. ATM, I think the top 7 is secure with the 8th spot between Carreno Busta, Querry or Anderson.

 

[vaughany]

Kyrgios has released this statement this morning.

Finally doing the right thing. This might be a career defining moment

 

[BobbyMorri]

Random thing, I actually had a dream last night that Carreno Busta beat Nadal at next years French.........

It was so weird.
