Why do you think it will happen?

 

[stoisle]

Stubbs teeing off at the umpire over awarding Beck the point following her incorrect overrule. "should never umpire a main court match again!"

 

[stoisle]

And now saying Beck should have requested to replay the point!

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Why do you think it will happen?

Monfils is scattered. While he doesn't blow up like Fognini, he gets in moods where he loses focus and rather entertain and mess around, I think Kuznetsov might want it more. Just a hunch really.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Turn on for the tennis and Im greeted with Sunrise and "Kochie's Angels".

Its gonna be a long day...

Predictions:
Wawrinka - 5 Sets
Murray - 3 Sets
Monfils - 3 Sets
Ferrer - 4 Sets

Kerber - 2 Sets
Azarenka - 2 Sets
Keys - 3 Sets (hope the fairytale with Zhang can continue though).
Makarova - 2 Sets

There should be at least 1 or 2 upsets over 8 matches.

 

[pepsi]

Stan has a good record against Milos. But I have a sneaky suspicion this could go to 5. As well as Ferrer and isner. Ferrer has a good record in that h2h, but I think it could go to 5 also.

Anyone got spare RLA day tickets for sale for tomorrow (Australia day) ?

Went to check 7Two to see who was on.

Greeted with the Dr Oz Show.

GAGF.

 

[rippersnipper]

Not one women's match involving two seeded players. Shit. Interesting

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Oh great so were not going to see the Monfils match.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Woodbridge is a stain.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

Azarenka is disgusting

Fist pumping unforced errors from her opponent - really?

I hate it when a player does that on an unforced error or double fault. Frustrating.

Azarenka is my least favourite player. Id rather watch the Monfils match

 

[JackNah_8]

Woodbridge is a stain.

I feel like Woodridge is so outdated now in the commentary box, I wish ch7 can find a better replacement.

 

[Hudu Gurusingha]

If you dont have the seven tennis app get it now - Rob Koenig is commentating the Monfils match!!!!!!!

 

[vaughany]

Is that the South African guy?
