Australian Open - Day 10

[Headless]

I know it's been said before, but that bottom corner camera angle is just so, so poor.

 

[JackNah_8]

Empty stadium for a quarter final. Greaaaat...

everyone turned up last night, expecting krygios to challenge murray lol but tonight we have two quality players and we have empty seats. disappointing

 

[Bobby_]

come on Milos!

 

[Bobby_]

if this goes to a tie-break, surely Milos will have to be favouite to win it?

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Raonic choking, he had that point

I Robot

 

[Amazing Bombers]

yess Novak keep going.

 

[Bobby_]

don't tell me we are going to see yet another straight sets victory

Should have been replay point at 6-3. There is no way that awkward looking slice forehand was a winner, Djoko would've had a play on it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Serve bot 1 set down good

 

[Kaan]

Who thought it was a good idea to have this as the night match. Boring.

 

[bato]

Raonic.

Any match with Raonic is boring!

Is the only purpose or Bruce being here to point out known faces in the crowd and try to relate them to AFL or Channel 7.

 

[JackNah_8]

Raonic isn't the best player to watch, usually it's about his big serves

 

[Bobby_]

Joker aiming for his 8th grand slam at this rate.

With the French Open and Wimbledon to come . . .

 

[JackNah_8]

i cant be bothered watching this match lol no breaks...or rallies

That and read stats.

 

[JackNah_8]

Is ablett there, so Bruce can tell Jim he is the greatest AFL player lol because Jim really cares

I know it's been said before, but that bottom corner camera angle is just so, so poor.

I actually wish the standard camera angle was lower - gives a better appreciation of how hard they hit and the spin they put on the ball I reckon

 

[toxic]

Is this match a good warm up for Djokovic or not for his Stan match?

I don't disagree with that, but I heavily dislike that particular angle that they use.

 

[Beavis07]

Quarters have been straightforward but I think we will have two really intriguing semis assuming Djokovic gets through. If you ever wanted to be assured of a classic match at the AO then I think a Djokovic-Wawrinka matchup with the way Wawrinka is currently hitting the ball would be the match you would pick. Murray-Berdych might not be as close but it will be a massive victory for whoever wins it.

 

[rideclutch]

Is this match a good warm up for Djokovic or not for his Stan match?

Not particularly. He's exploting the obvious weaknesses in the Raonic game and doing it well.

That said, I don't think it will have any bearing on the result of their match. If today's Stan turns up, it should be a classic.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yes!!!!

Bye serve bot soon
