Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 12 (Men's Semi-Finals)

[toxic]

Might as well sit on court with the player then if thats the case.

Coaching gets done before the match. Onus should be on the player during the match to think their way through the challenges.

Why?

As an example

Olympics coaching is allowed

Masters golf coaching is allowed

Tour de France coaching is allowed

Tsitsipas nowhere near it without Daddy holding his hand

 

[rocker_oz33]

Meddy vs Rafa .

Fook I like both these guys .

 

[Visions]

Medvedev on todays form would have taken anyone out including Djokovic.

 

[FreoRicci]

Zverev and Tsitipas top 4 in the world? Nahhh

 

[Zevon]

This a demoltion job now

Yep. Too good.

 

[Gibbsy]

Anyone who says this crowd is okay is a part-time fan who only watches when the AO rolls around and has probably never played the game either. That sort of distraction while serving is extremely off-putting.

For Medvedev to perform so well in spite of the boorish idiots is pretty impressive.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Medvedev not even caring now about the crowd. Wham Bam it is all over. No love lost between the two of them.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Medvedev is too good.

Tsitsipas will struggle to win a slam as long as he struggles to overcome him.

H2H is now 7-2 in Med’s favour.

 

[Xtreme]

Stefanos gave up

Weak!!

 

[Richard Cranium]

campaigners booing while the bloke serves is pretty s**t.

 

[tigs2010]

Medvedev is too good.

Tsitsipas will struggle to win a slam as long as he struggles to overcome him.

H2H is now 7-2 in Med’s favour.

French I’d back Tsitsipas

 

[BobbyMorri]

so, Medvedev was right after all. i mean, it wasn't a question, Stefo has issues with his dad coaching in nearly every match.

 

[FreoRicci]

Thank You! Greek fans and tennis do not mix. Good bye

 

[JamisonRun40]

Well done Medvedev at least he went and shook the umps hand afterwards.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

French I’d back Tsitsipas

Fair point.

 

[JackNah_8]

Stefanos gave up

Weak!!

He completely lost focus

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Isn't coaching allowed in women's tennis?

Personally I don't like it

Not in Grand Slams. They do allow on court coaching in normal WTA games though

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Shows how well FAA played the other night. Medvedev's level barely drops and hasn't really all tournament. He has dropped sets from 10 minutes of losing focus that's it really. The final is going to go 5 sets because neither Rafa or Daniil will give an inch.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Glad the crowd goes home unhappy!

Good times

 

[FreoRicci]

Could you have imagined a Novak v Medevev Australian Open final this year? God the crowd would’ve counterattacked themselves and had to resort to cheering

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Nadal is pretty universally liked I'd say.

Time waster

 

[pepsi]

Nadal is pretty universally liked I'd say.

Yeah I'm not a fan and know of others. Respect his career though.

 

[deanc]

WTF, went to check the plumbing at 3-1, came back and the match is over - did Stephanos forfeit..?

 

[Visions]

In fact since Covid it has virtually stopped which is a good thing.

I don't know how Eva could of heard what was being said she was under the tunnel, are they miked up.

If he’s being coached, to hear him his dad would have have had to say it out loudly. If shes standing under the players box next to the doorway then she would have heard it.
