Grand Slam Australian Open (Day 11, Thursday)

[Xtreme]

I already do a variation of that - punch the chest twice then do a finger point (crowd or where the goals are!). Pretty sure he did that a few years ago as well

For such an enthralling tournament I think it's going to end up quite a fizzer. Djokovic in straight sets against Zcerev/Thiem.

Federer could probably play for a few more years reaching semis/quarters and consistently pick up 6 figures every grand slam (which is more than what most tennis players could hope for).

Unfortunately one last slam is likely out of reach.

Wimbledon is his only chance and boy jeez he’ll need luck

Yeah hard not to see last year at Wimbledon as his last chance to beat Novak in a slam.

Djokovic going out early could give him a chance at a surprise slam. Hard to see it happening though.

His draw was incredibly kind this AO. Compare that to rafa who was no.1 seed....

100% agree but Wimbledon is his best surface he’ll need Novak to lose though

And he looked miles off all tournament. Either age is finally affecting him even consistently against lower ranked players or the hip/groin whatever it was had a major impact on his game.

He might end up blowing everyone away in slams won. Fed probably won't win another one and Nadal mostly just banks on winning the french. Djoker could go on a multi-year domination.

His lack of preparation cost him I think. Good on him for choosing family time but it was always going to catch up with him.

shapovolov, Dimitrov, Fognini and Berrettini were all in his qtr of draw and lost before they got to him.

Seeds in rafa’s side got through to play him

WOW I was listening to both semi finals on AO radio and got the feeling that Ash was extremely nervous and I kept thinking stop slicing. I'm over that shot. There will be other chances she is only 23 and to be honest she has only been back playing for a couple of years. As for the other semi I want to slap Simona arrghhh. She was my second hope to win. Don't really like Kenin, she talks too fast, can't stand her serve motion and all her fist pumping. I'll go for Mugs to win the final she is on a two slam win with Conchita, great move in hiring Conchita back.

As for the semi with Zevrev and Thiem don't mind who wins and I would love one of them to win it.

How many has he won at GS level??

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Hewitt/Ivanisevic vs Safin/Haas

Getting so much nostalgia of the early 2000s.

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

Hope Thiem wins as he'll put up a better fight against Novak imo.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Nick chooses not to win GS, would have won 20 if he wanted to.

Ivanisevic still has a cannon for a serve as well!

 

[juice t]

Safin serving to Hewitt

I'm getting Vietnam flashbacks to 05 right now

I miss Safin. His win against Federer in 2005 was insane, beat the guy when he seemed invincible.

My favourite AO match.

Peak Federer beaten by peak Safin.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Safin/Haas hot hot hot. If Safin was more committed to tennis he would of won more than two GS

He probably won’t, but I don’t think anyone would be shocked if Djokovic won another 7 or 8 slams

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Safin is on and I didn't know :O
He's my biggest crush back when he was playing. Still hot now though.

You can’t have Safin and Rossi . Pick one dangerous.
