Australian Open - Day 14

[pepsi]

AUSTRALIAN Open runner-up Simona Halep was reportedly admitted to hospital after her loss to Caroline Wozniacki in the women’s final on Saturday night.

ESPN has reported that Halep, who was treated during the second set of the final for a headache and dizziness, spent four hours in hospital and was treated for dehydration.

Wow! Hope she has recovered.

What the *? Basil, and no Korean KIA Guy?

Lame.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Booo no Asian Kia guy speech

 

[BobbyMorri]

You can’t say anything critical about Federer. Like how he chucked a tantrum at the start of the 5th set.

glad I stayed away from this thread for the night if this was the quality of posting for the match.

You arent KIA guy either 4 eyes. get off and bring him back.

I'm a better commentator than Basil.

I am not referring to Cilic. I am referring to Federer who is one of the best players in the world and who knows how to finish games.

5-set matches in Grand Slams:
Federer - 27-14
Cilic - 21-9 (and 8 of last 9)

Of course Federer would be favoured going into a 5th set, but to say that he would just walk away with it (without the advantage of hindsight), especially in the context of how the two were playing at the end of the 4th set, was just speculation and homerism, which is fine, but then trying to defend it by saying 'he know it's the decider' is dumb af.

Id prefer it if the sponsor just plugged their cars or something instead of making a speech.

 

[Andronicus]

Daniel Andrews looks like Principal Anderson from Billy Maddison!

Was about to say exactly this.

Picturing him in wrestling garb.

 

[Acinath]

Hope this lady improves on last night...

Nope.

Jane Hardlicker sounds like she's been on some hard liquor.

Actually, the analysis was made at the beginning of the fifth set where Federer clearly had all the momentum. As if Federer was going to lose the match in one of the best forms he was in throughout the whole match.

That woman in charge of TA? Scary.

 

[electricfeel]

Omg they replaced Korean Kia guy with the Principal from Billy Madison

 

[maryjames]

Hardlicker.. love your work.

I don't think you can dislike Roger at all, he seems to be well liked by his peers. I am sure he gets embarassed by some of the comments that are thrown at him.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Most players lose to fed before stepping on the court

 

[Hippster]

Is that what I said? You must just be another bandwagoner?

His current standard is nowhere near his 1st - 18th slams.

Of course not. He’s 37 this year. His game will fall away. Probabably 1-2 more years of being able to win majors.

Fed isn't the problem, it's the cult of personality his fans have built up that is

 

[Brad Goodman]

You know how Basil is awful and makes you pine for Bruce? That’s what tennis will be like when Federer retires so you should really appreciate him while you can.

 

[Wolfs]

Worst presentation ever.

Yesterday had the little girl who stole the camera. This is just lame.

When Federer does get beaten he cries.

 

[Kaan]

I hate the pro-Federer crowd, but what a player he is.

Considering AO was Djokovic's backyard for so long it's impressive that Fed has equaled him.

At the beginning of the fifth? Where Federer gave up break points?

We definitely took Bruce and Craig Willis for granted the past 20 years or so

Tomic played well
