Australian Open 2017 - Day 7

[bato]

I think 17 beating 5 qualifies as an upset right?

Nah. Bookies had Fed as a pretty big favourite. 1.60 or so.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Wawrinka or Tsonga better beat him in the semis

I don't like Wawrinka at all but I hope he beats Federer.

Tsonga won the last two against Federer, so probably the better chance.

Wawrinka or Tsonga better beat him in the semis

Not giving Zverev a chance at all?

 

[rippersnipper]

Reckon kei would have won if he didn't cop a back injury. Poor bloke. He still played well. Nothing but respect for his game tonight, same with fed.

Not giving Zverev a chance at all?

Not really unlike Murray, Federer eats serve volleyers for breakfast

 

[Elite Master]

Hamish: "We'll really learn a lot about Nishikori in the next half an hour"

Everyone watching to their TV: "Shut the **** up Hamish"

The amout of shit that came out of his mouth tonight was big, even for his standards. Jim and Leyton must have hurt their eyes by rolling them so much.

 

[Xtreme]

A lot of people are either going on a pee break or they're making a run for it as the women are walking in

And oh no Basil with Alicia

He's always injured though. Think it's beyond a joke now how fragile his body is during/after a big match.

Basil? ****!

 

[imadodgyumpire]

**** courier, fix the problem in the comm box we dont want to hear your ramblings off mic

Reminds me of John Helm's deep breathing/wheezing off mic during the 2010 World Cup.

 

[Elite Master]

Bit of a throw back to the mid/late 2000's by having Fed and Nadal going deep in a Grand Slam while Djokovic and Murray are eliminated.

 

[Xtreme]

"Lets have a listen to Kerber talk about her opponent"

*Continues showsing the live action warm up

Basil fail

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Big nose basil in the commentary box? Sunstroke and headache and work tomorrow morning?

Yeah nah.

Go Kerber.

Night all.

Ok who used the DeLorean and stuffed up the space time continuum ?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Expect this to be very comfortable for Kerber

Didn't you hear. That'll get to that in a moment!

 

[ItsGameTime]

I hope Vandeweghe wins that one. Serena to win the Open though.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I don't know why but Vandeweghe seems really unlikeable. She has a great game though, admittedly.

How does a 5th seed play a 1st seed in round of 16???

I didn't think there were too many serve volleyers in the circuit ATM.

And based on how they played today I wouldn't be surprised to see that match go to a fifth set. Should be a cracker.

 

[Redline]

Weird doubles pairing watch. Gooch is playing mixed with Svitolina.

I think Svitolina thought she was being asked to play via text message by a young handsome up and coming Italian called Guccione.

Roger has a 2-0 record against Zverev.

Who's the fifth seed?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How does a 5th seed play a 1st seed in round of 16???

5th seed against 17th seed you mean. Number 1 seed was Andy Murray
