ATP/WTA Aussie Watch

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ellis' good run at Kyoto continues, he joins Thompson in the semis after beating Soeda in three sets. Millman's QF coming up soon.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Lol, am watching the Millman match and there is a very noisy doubles match involving Thompson and Saville on the next court, Challenger level matches so different to the big tournaments!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman through as well. Semis will be Millman v Ellis and Thompson v Puetz.

(Saville and Thompson won their doubles too so all the noise was worth it )

Walkover. Kokk stops at the semis.

Walkover. Kokk stops at the semis.

He rolled his ankle towards the end of the quarter final pretty badly. He is the breakable man.

Ah crap. Top effort of efforts then.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Will be an all Australian final in Kyoto as Thompson wins his semi in three

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman beats Ellis in straight sets.

(That win will put Millman back in the top 100 which is good as his PR must have run out by now )

Millman beats Thompson in the final.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Straight sets win, 7-5 6-1. Millman's experience and composure paid off against Thommo. Thompson lost the plot a bit in the second set and Millman took advantage. Well deserved win Only blip was John had the chance to serve it out at 5-0 and dropped his serve. Otherwise he was hitting the ball well.

Blake Ellis has gone form chocolates to boiled lollies, crashing out in the first round of the Yokohama Challenger. Kubler through to round two.

Several other Aussie still to play; Millman, Purcell, Whittington and Thompson.

 

[BobbyMorri]

She won in the 3rd set. Very lucky and Nick is right. Coco agrees with him regarding the double standards.

Gotta control that temper a little better Dasha.

Millman has an injury?

Good thing everyone knows I've never been a fan...

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Millman has an injury?

Must have. That's a shame, could have collected some valuable points in this tournament.

Kubler and Thompson still there. Whittington knocked out in a three setter that went over two days and Purcell was beaten by Millman yesterday.

Edit: Unless Millman is crook. I watched his match yesterday and there was no sign of an injury.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Our last hope in Yokohama, Thomspson, was beaten in the semis today in straight sets. Disappointing tournament for the Aussies one way or another after last week.

De minaur has been given a wildcard into Indian wells.

De minaur has been given a wildcard into Indian wells.

Not surprised. He's done plenty to earn one.

Azarenka gets one too.

Bouchard, however.

Polmans won the final of the Renmark Futures event over Saville. I happened to be in Renmark during the week for work (well I found a reason to go) and caught a bit of the tournament. It was good to see some professional tennis on lawn.

Two players that are really struggling at the moment are Barton and Jasika. Ben Mitchell is really playing well, not sure if he is planning a full time comeback but no reason he can't get inside the top 200 if he does commit.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Three Aussies competing in the Zhuhai Challenger; Thompson (no.1 seed), Kubler and Bolt. Thomspon lost in round one, Kubler and Bolt through to round two.

You catch the Kokk vs Baggy game? Baggy whipped his ass

In the IW qualies? No, didn't see it. Hmm, that's not good for Thanasi

Hey do you know what's wrong with Millman?

 

[Redline]

Average result for Kokkinkis. Looks like Bagdatis wiped him off the court.
