Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 10

[pepsi]

Osaka vs Svitolina
Williams vs Pliskova
Raonic vs pouille
Djokovic vs Nishikori

Stosur and zhang in the womens doubles semis also

 

[red+black]

My main interest is Osaka v Svitolina.

NB: Osaka is higher in the draw hence is named first

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Osaka in 3
Pliskova in 3 (hope more than anything...)
Raonic in 3
Djokovic in 3

 

[caesar88]

Serena vs Osaka is the semi-final match-up everyone deserves.

Us - two best players left in it go head to head, with no slouch in Kvitova (probably) awaiting the winner in the final (higher quality players means less chance of a dud semi-final or final)
Serena - redeem herself against Osaka and continue her march towards history.
Osaka - to beat the GOAT in a Grand Slam this time without any drama, and her performance be the headline.

So on those grounds, go Serena & Naomi!

[Xtreme]

Djokovic should easily beat Nishikori. And I'd expect Raonic to thrash Pouille
The ladies matches could go either way (although of course I'd love Queen Serena to go all the way to slam 24).

 

[ItsGameTime]

Svitolina in 3
Aussie Serena in straight sets.
Raonic in straight sets.
Nishikori in 5 (hope more than anything).

 

[Wolfs]

Go Kei and Serena.

 

[GreyCrow]

Carn Joker and Pliskova

 

[Sempfy]

Who I expect to win - Osaka, Williams, Raonic, Djokovic

Who I want to win - Svitolina, Pliskova, Pouille, Nishikori

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Come on Osaka

Svitolina is no chance against Serena

 

[atlas1]

Djokovic in 4
Osaka in 3
Serena in 2
Raonic in 4

 

[armpit]

Yes, Come on Osaka. You're doing the right thing.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Osaka my goodness get the ball the the court

 

[Sempfy]

Are people cheering for Osaka because they like her or because she's the best chance at knocking Serena out? haha Both?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Knocking Serena out mainly. Svitolina has a horrible record against her.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Let’s not flop this game Naomi

 

[armpit]

It's both for me. I'd like to see her have a happy slam.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dead set Osaka

 

[caesar88]

5 straight broken serves to end that set there.

Is Osaka the best young player in the world right now, male or female? Won a grand slam and backed it up with another strong showing here, potentially making a semifinal.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Osaka takes the first 6-4

 

[Wolfs]

Osaka gonna win this.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Osaka gonna win this.

Hopefully

Her serve is awful today though

 

[armpit]

Svitolina has been way too erratic in this tournament and here we go again.

 

[ItsGameTime]

Svitolina is so bad. Injured?
