Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 11

[Xtreme]

If Kvitova wins then she owes it all to the roof.

She would have lost if the roof was still open.

100% you’re completely right,

What kinda annoys me, are those tennis ‘specialists’ who don’t follow the whole year and pop up during the aus open and clump Tsitsipas together with Tiafoe. Tiafoe essentially an unknown with a questionable game and over flamboyance, whilst Tsitsipas has defeated Djokovic and Federer at 20. More upside in Tsitsipas than even Zverev

He hasn’t matched up well against Nadal though and I worry he may be brushed aside, I really hope he doesn’t.

If you followed the Masters season, Canadian Open it was, he beat four top ten in a row. Think he was the youngest to do that. Thiem, Djokovic, Zverev then Anderson. So it shouldn’t be too surprising that he has the game to do that as compared to Tiafoe. He did lose to Nadal in the final 6-2, 7-6 I think it was.

 

[FreoRicci]

Great game by the roof today. Very admirable

BAGEL

Great effort by Collins on making her first slam semi. Think she could make another with her attitude. Kvitova is the form player of the summer and would be a deserving champion.

 

[Sempfy]

She is LOVELY.

 

[Xtreme]

She is LOVELY.

Yes the roof is a sleek design and can now close in 5 minutes instead of 30+

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Think Kvitova will win it on Saturday. Her performances across the two weeks have been flawless.

 

[Sempfy]

I'm hoping for an all Czech final but I think Osaka makes it through

 

[boncer34]

I know we’re used to failure with our own home grown Australian losers.

But to deny Federer 12 break point wins, and defeat 4 top 10 players in one week at 19, you’re the real deal.

Kid will lose most likely, but I’d like to see him atleast win a set and maybe have a tiebreak in one other.

Nadal is in scary form.

I'm not saying he's not done absurdly well to this point.

I'm just confident Rafa will destroy him.

That's twice Osaka has come to the net and hit a shot straight at Pliskova

 

[JackNah_8]

Petra has been ruthless all tournament. My pick to win AO though Osaka is looking good.

 

[Xtreme]

Osaka has gone off the boil

 

[JackNah_8]

Pliskova another comeback.....


Are they going to keep the roof closed tonight?

 

[one eyedtiger]

Awful game by Osaka gets us to 1 set all
Hope Naomi gets through, I like her

It's been a pretty good quality match, some nice rallies and winners from both players

 

[Xtreme]

Pliskova better win otherwise it's a wasted opportunity knocking out Queen GOAT Serena!

 

[juice t]

Pliskova another comeback.....


Are they going to keep the roof closed tonight?

They'll probably open it once the sun goes down

 

[Xtreme]

Last year it was all about the Australian Open game..... which ended up being very bad and tanked....

This year they're all about promoting Mario Tennis Aces on the Switch

 

[Xtreme]

The Heat meter thing is at 5.5

Roof will stay closed for quite some time yet!

 

[Sempfy]

Don't think there's any more coming back for Pliskova now unfortunately

 

[JackNah_8]

Have petra v Osaka played before?

 

[Sempfy]

Don't appear to have played before, no

 

[juice t]

Have petra v Osaka played before?

Don't think so

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can it happen again

 

[juice t]

Osaka deadset shitting herself

Pretty natural feeling
