Australian Open 2017

Looks another 1st round loss coming up for Sam unless a miracle happens.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

time for stosur to retire shes losing to heather watson and shes always done well against her, 1st set 6-3 to watson

She still plays well away from Oz. Made the quarters or semis at Roland Garros last year.

yeah she just can not handle any kind of pressure at all shes the most mentally fragile person ive ever seen

 

[danstar]

sad day today for australia can really only see 1 of our players out of the 10 on court getting through to the 2nd round

Stosur's preferred surface is definitely clay. She's never played that well on hard or grass courts.

Biggest fluke is how she managed to win the US Open a few years back. To this day I still don't understand how she pulled it off.

jordan thompson takes it to 5 sets, its just his 4th 5 set match in his career, looks to be pulling ahead though in the match

 

[danstar]

thompson playing out of his skin in this 5th set, up 4-1 surely he has the goods, will be a good match against thiem in the next round hopefully its a night match.

Don't know if this is the correct place to ask but anyone who's gone this year, what are my chances of saving some money and getting in with a junior ticket? Like are they strict on the barriers or what?

When I went like last time (2 years ago) they were strict on checking if I was concession. But I don't know.

first time and only time going to the tennis tomorrow. are there any bad seats that block the view like from the chair umpire

 

[danstar]

Any seats low in the stand on the chair umpire side are no good u wont see a thing

damn, i managed to snag two seats up front on the chair umpire side however towards the corner. (not on the corner but right next to it). only time going so hope i dont a sht view.

O'Connell played well last night against Dimitrov, his gets the ball back well and is very athletic. For someone ranked over 200 in the world to push the 15th seed to a tie break in the first set was very impressive. He could be one to watch for the future.

On a corner should be okay. What court did you get? The views depend.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Great news if you want to see better matches on TV Thursday!

Exactly. Happy enough for Kyrgios, Tomic and Dasha to in. The rest, meh. They are not going close to winning, what's the point of playing scrubbers. It is why I prefer having a few multis days 1-4, before really watching it from Thursday-Friday onwards.

The corners are fine away from the umpire u just might not see part of the opposite end of the court

Agreed his forehand was brilliant hes a journeyman type which u rarely see these days and they are the ones with the best character not a show pony at all so im excited for his future
