Grand Slam Australian open day 1

[The City Boyz]

Can't believe how little they let into the tennis today, could only get a row ZZ ticket for Nick but it's like 10% full

 

[Drummond]

btw, that point at A-40 in the 2nd game was one of the best points I have seen. ripping tennis by both players with a lovely drop shot at the end.

That was incredible! Honestly no hyperbole, one of the points you’ll see all tournament. It’s points like that that make me think she could win Slams, but the mental side of things, not sure. Although in saying that, she was a mental warrior for the first few months last year, I think she is capable. She just seems flat here.

Tomic is through to 2nd rd

thank god his opponent retired. Had my life savings against Tomic.

most people who had a ticket i think were put off from going after the latest covid scare, i reckon over half the ticket holders would have decided to just stay home

 

[armpit]

He goes all right Silva. Good looking bloke too, but looks like Nicks going to take him.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Nick breaks was a great shot.

 

[armpit]

I can't wait to watch Tomic play again. I used to cut him some slack when he was a kid. I thought he might have some potential, but he let himself down.

 

[danstar]

Is Sinner match going to be on tv?

I reckon once kyrgios match is done, they will put djoker on the main channel and the sinner match on gem. Might miss the first set

 

[Fossie 32]

Like Nick's comment 'Show the kid some respect' when they are the same age

 

[Fossie 32]

They should show the speed for every serve

Was thinking that. Hopefully Nick can win this in straights.

 

[armpit]

As long as stays steady, he'll finish this guy off by the looks.

Throwing $20 bets around hey? Risky.

Don’t mind Djokovic’s shirt this year! Seems to be a lot of Green outfits around though and seen a couple Purples which is good as they’re great colours!

That'd be great. I won't have to get up to change the channel.

I reckon the green ones are great. Look at Silva's gear. Simple, sophisticated and comfortable. Makes Nicks look even worse. Nike have made a mistake with the purple I ws thinking. The only sportspeople who look good in purple are the dockers really.

I really liked Andreescu’s Purple dress earlier. Also Kvitova’s was nice as well.

 

[BobbyMorri]

God damn it Rybakina. How on earth is this 2nd set still going, let alone be on serve. Been killing it outside of winning a game or break point.

shocking errors.

 

[armpit]

There's a kid getting a lot of joy watching Nick play.

 

[hawkman]

Tomic is through to 2nd rd

His opponent quit before he could

 

[NSWCROW]

" We didn't expect that "

And he got paid to say that

Wouldn't be a Nick K match without some mini-melt/sulk

 

[Drummond]

Great start by Djoko, looks slick. Again the crowd really disappointing with how muted they are by anything impressive from Djokovic. Chardy does something half decent?? Crowd loving it. Whatever, used to it.

What is Rybakina doing?!?

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Sinner 1-0 up already

finally discovered that you arent meant to hit the ball to the net or umpires chair.

Still, that was closer than it should have been. onward to the 3rd.

Hurry up nick. we want to watch Sinner/Sharpo

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Sinner 2-0
