Grand Slam Australia Open - Day 8

[onthehill24]

So weird
The most thrilling game with Nick and the kokka. Playing a blistering entertaining game with some incredible shots placed by Kokka.
And yet...no comments...nada.
Yet? You get endless crap about obscure grunting unwatchable players all day long.
It's like some tennis die hards are deliberately cultish and anti-aussie whenever possible.


Well, stuff youse all!
And go Nick and Kokka!
Brilliant tennis.

Need to be special in the deciding set

 

[YeoShuey]

Auger-Aliassime already a break down.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Be good if Cressy can upset Medvedev

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Cornet takes the first set in the scorching heat

Cornet takes the first set in the scorching heat

Thanks for the update I forgot to go back after the break was watching the mens match lol

Brutal conditions lol

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Can’t see Cressy defeating Medvedev but I’ve been wrong before.

 

[YeoShuey]

Be good if Cressy can upset Medvedev

That would be a terrible result. I want Medvedev to win the AO.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Brutal conditions lol

Halep looks like she’s struggling in this heat. Not good at all.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

So does Alize as well

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This is going 3 sets which means Sinner gets the cooler conditions as they won’t be on till 4:45 at least

 

[JackNah_8]

Go Halep, she's coming back

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We are off to a decider here

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

This match has lived up to what I thought it’d be. Fantastic!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Massive respect to these players playing in this brutal heat

Halep hanging on by a finger nail

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

I doubt Barty is going to have nightmares about playing anything we’ve seen today.

I haven't been paying attention to the WTA since Serena's retirement hiatus. I was under the impression there was a top tier of players (Osaka, Halep, Barty etc.) and then the chasing pack. Then I tune into the Aus Open this year, and Osaka is seeded outside the top 10, Halep is seeded outside the top 10. Muguruza is nowhere near it, neither is Kerber (though I'm aware she is past her prime.) The latter two I can understand as they just haven't been doing a lot of winning, but why were Osaka and Halep seeded so low? Clearly they've not had the recent runs on the board, but why? Is it because of injury or are they just nowhere near being the best players in the world like I thought?

Osaka took time off last year and you can’t protect your ranking that high. Halep hasn’t been fantastic the last few years

Simple reason is because they missed a heap of tournaments last year

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Halep gone

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Didn’t know Cornet is 32

Fair bloody effort to knock off the 14th seed in this heat well done

 

[JackNah_8]

What's wrong with Medvedev?

You're a brave man expecting consistency in WTA results.

 

[Chism]

What's wrong with Medvedev?

He is an arrogant piece of s**t Russian??

 

[deanc]

Halep gone

Good result for Barty LP - yes/no..?

 

[Hamingja]

What's wrong with Medvedev?

Livescore had him taking an MTO but not watching. Would like to know if he is Rafa's latest voodoo victim.
