Grand Slam Australian Open (Day 1)

[BobbyMorri]

Barty is the number 1 player in the world and deserving so. YEC, Miami and the French Open all in the last 12 months. She has had a shocking start to this match against a player who should be ranked around 50-60 and one she should be beating.

but it happens. Never forget, Sam Groth took a set off Federer at Wimbledon. these things happen. Still expecting Barty to wake up.

Melbourne Arena will be packed tomorrow with Kyrgios on (not before 7pm) and Popyrin v Tsonga (not before 4pm).

Hopefully Tsonga bagels him love watching Jo.

Why isn’t Nick on RLA

Damn I was sure Stosur was going to win that match

Stosur has been cooked for at least a couple of years. Wonder when she'll give it away.

EDIT: Just thinking we should be thankful Stosur has taken Stubbs away from commentary.

 

[BobbyMorri]

they have cancelled all matches on the outside courts so I don't think they will move one to Melbourne Arena.

I was wrong.

Kohlschreiber v Giron are on court and warming up. Sure....why not them. Random match on a huge court like that. But at least they will only have 95 matches to do now tomorrow

Tsitsipas 2-0 sets won the second 6-2 and barty has responded

You love watching Jo so you hope he bagels a young and exciting prospect. If you loved watching Jo wouldn't you want an exciting match which brings out the best in Jo?

You hope a lot of players bagel other players because you seem to hate so many players. Don't you enjoy a good exciting tennis match? Or do you just hope your favourites just smash everyone and the matches are all a bore?

Never change LP.

To be honest, why didn't they do a seeded match

I’d rather the players I like get through the first week comfortably that is what I want.

I'm sure when it is Federer v Djoker u will hope Djoker bagels him instead of most people who enjoy tennis wanting a close exciting match.

Why be a fanboi when you can just hope for and enjoy good quality tennis. Confuses me.

What ranking is Caruso I think tsitsipas is having an easy match

Tomorrow is the day to go. So many courts to choose from with 5 matches on a few courts.

Even Hewitt seed 1 lose 1st round

The year he had chicken pox.

Well considering I can’t stand Federer yes
although I do respect his accomplishments. Anyone else I’d like a close final. Plus after the crowds continue to give it to Novak I’d rather give them nothing and have Novak just steamroll everyone.

Weather looks better too

Comfortable win in the end for Ash


Edit: Just read the comments from during the match. It's as if some of you have never seen Ash play, she often starts slow and coming off a big week last week so it wasn't surprising. Probably write off your footy team after a bad first quarter as well

97?

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Well done Ash. Just took her awhile to settle and get used to the court.

Yet another overrated Aussie who will try and live off 1 major win in their career

One is better than anything you have done. Your posts are garbage.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Really wanna see Thompson v Bublik. Love Bublik saw him 2017. Hope Thompson wins for us though!

Winning a Grand Slam is freaking amazing!!! Why are people so down on Ash? She's doing really well, maintained her no.1 status and won some more tournaments, what on earth do people expect?

Expect a number 1 ranked player to easily beat all players other than other top 5-10 players.

Stop mugging Novak

 

[brucetiki]

Tom Rehn is a good commentator, he is doing the Coco and Venus game at the moment.

He did the PA for the Adelaide International last week. He did a good job of it.

He also got a gig as a roving clown in Channel 9's Christmas Pageant coverage last year too from memory.

 

[Redline]

The rain obviously didn't help but a fairly boring day really. You expect one sided matches but today just didn't have much excitement about it. Coco on MCA probably the highlight.

 

[BobbyMorri]

bye Stephens.

She is gone. Doesnt look match fit.
