Australian Open 2015 - Day 4

[matt_897]

Reckon he will roll around for a 20th AO next season?

Yes if the body is up to it. I imagine he'll be needing a wildcard next year though because his schedule will be even more limited this year (hasn't entered any weak US hard court events in Feb, he usually plays one or two)

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Need an early break for Coco, she has had some issues closing matches out.

Another midnight overtime shift for them haha

Blame the organisers for putting on a women's match after a long men's one.

Well he would be worth a WC I guess, although I would prefer them go to young players

He deserves it but it'll be a discussion that can be had in December.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Somebody teach the fanatics a new chant, please.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Saw this about Azarenka's dress, pretty funny lol (sorry for the small size)

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Coco, come on, first serves girl

To early to tell but I think he can top 100 again come the end of the year.

Vandaweghe.... not bad.

Stosur starts mixing it up when it's all over, could've done that earlier

 

[Hawks1523]

I left at lleyton up 2 sets and came back to see the results. No post game announcement?

This. Thought Hewitt had it in the bag!

I'm not a stosur fan so glad coco got up.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Did she just signal Stosur as a loser?

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Probably that dickhead in the crowd who wouldn't shut up.

 

[Xtreme]

Thank god she lost, now they can concentrate on Aussie Genie

 

[Redline]

Its a free 35k, why shouldn't Hewitt keep playing if he has the ranking for it.

Just rock up to four grand slams and that's a guaranteed 140k lol

Yeah people treat it to much like the AFL. He can play for as ling as he wants. Its not like he is taking a junior wildcard players spot or any Tennis Australia funding.

I'm not disappointed with a second round, I am just dissapointed he couldn't win a very winnable game.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Why do people dislike Stosur?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yes and stop putting rubbish matches on RLA.

Stosur the gift that keeps giving, my Sportsbet account says thank you.

 

[Globular]

Stosur

 

[Sir Vlado]

Why do people dislike Stosur?

Probably not so much dislike but more so a perpetual sense of disappointment with her.

 

[vaughany]

Shouldn't be surprised by the result.

But honestly Stosur had a walk in the park draw, Coco and Brengle (rd3) should have been pencilled in wins with her experience.

Over to day 5 thread

Coco was always VERY dangerous, it was where I expected her to lose. Brengle wouldn't be a walk in the park either.

 

[Lebbo73]

Why do people dislike Stosur?

Because she is good enough to win 5 or 6 grand slams. She probably should be #1 but is a mental basket case!

Lol what, with her backhand she is lucky to have 1 slam. But she SHOULD have been contending more meaning 2nd week of Slams. She might as well be injured in Australia, she is hopeless at RLA.

Did you ever see Steffi Graf's backhand?
