Australian Open 2017 - Day 14

[PonsfordMagpie]

Amazing that Serena and Roger won the Australian Open 10 years ago and 10 years later some things never change.

Definitely feeling nostalgic at the moment.

Nadal had a choke that even Sam Stosur would be proud of in the 5th!

Exactly how many FH's did he want to shank? Woeful tactics too.

Hate to say it but Nadal deserved to lose this, and he lost it early, playing a gosh awful 1st set made Federer actually believe he had a chance.

Oh well at least the French Open can't be any worse.

Fed seems like a nice guy but I get the impression he is not very bright. Same for Rafa.

How many foreign languages do you speak fluently

Ridiculous comment

Nothing interesting about it; he was referring specifically to making the final again.

I reckon they are pretty smart but I wish Federer uses his status to speak up socially and politically, he could do more. Seems like the only men's player that does it is Murray which is a shame.

Thanks, as her family puts it "it's about time". We've actually been together 10 years lol

You realise there's no real correlation between multilingualism and intelligence, right?

I can't really remember a point that has ever caused such a prolonged sense of wonder in me haha.

I mean really think about it. How many clean winners do you see from that position in a rally? How many slice winners do you see in the modern game? How many forehand slices do you see in the modern game, let alone forehand slice winners?

It was just such an astonishing point at such a crucial time. It was the unicorn of shots in tennis.

Maybe but also could read as his last potential AO.

I thought you made a gay marriage burn

Disappointed tbh

Tennis is unbelievably lucky to have these 2 blokes still representing the game.

Well done to Roger and nothing but admiration for Nadal.

I wouldn't say Rafa choked the 5th set at all. He did well to get the jump on Federer early, but Federer had break points on every Rafa service game, and eventually overpowered him

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

He has to get to 25 slams to be called the GOAT

He's nowhere near it

he is the greatest male tennis player of all time he is truly the greatest of all time in his profession

Wrong

Andy Murray in there too.. He goes alright against these blokes. Some eras barely have 1 or 2 at best but the last 10 years have been amazing to witness.

Bazil has got some dirty laundry on someone within Channel 7. How the hell he goes from being a modest at best Perth presenter to suddenly hosting the celebration ceremony of one of the most watched rivalry in sports?

Especially after he makes so many gaffes in the AFL, he also had to look at his notes last night to remind himself that Serena won 23 grand slams, so inept.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Well that was fun
