Australian Open Day 2

[vaughany]

Oh Kiki.

that last point sums it up. Good serve(which is rare) gets a short return, tries a drop shot(Why?>?? She should hit it down the line and close in on the net). drop shot hits half way up the net.

13 and counting if she loses this IIRC. It will get tough from here out as well with all those points she has to defend.

13 geez I didn't realise the streak had got that bad. What will her ranking drop to if she loses this?

I feel bad for Alex

So do I, clearly injured and feeling bad because he can't play his best and all people can do is sink the boot in.

Tough AO 1st round for Crazy Eyes but his Brisbane and Sydney adventures were unbelievable. bol for the rest of 2018

**** off will ferrell

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

This is cringe central.

 

[danstar]

Champions are not made up of just weapons and physique. Geez, poor old Alex clearly struggling after an amazing couple of weeks and people writing him off already.

It's because it didn't happen in Melbourne so it never happened according to the 4 week a year tennis mob

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Funny you should say that. I watch tennis for enjoyment and I find Kyrgios matches as a must watch experience. You either watch him hit some of the most exquisite shots out of his ass or you can watch him self implode. It's win win entertainment.

If he implodes I find it completely embarrassing and cringeworthy and either end up switching it off or barracking for his opponent. If he is playing well he is ok to watch but I wouldn't pay money to go and see him play put it that way.

Who is sinking the boot in?

Just a reasonable critique that he has a solid foundation to be a decent journeyman but whether or not he has a top 10 game remains to be seen.

 

[Wolfs]

So we don't get that interview with Berdych do we?

 

[Neese]

Berdych is so unlikeable
Great fortnight for Alex. Sucks if you can't fully serve

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On the bright side

That twit Mladenovic is about to keep her losing streak going

She goes up in the rankings to #9 despite losing lol

Calling him a spud?

Edit: Not you calling him a spud.

Reasonable critique you say, but why be so negative?

**** off will ferrell

That was really bad

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I muted it, I honestly have no idea who Will Ferrell is.

 

[Wolfs]

I rate Tiafoe. Dude is a gun.

 

[Pedantic]

That Will Ferrell interview was one of the worst things I've seen

 

[JackNah_8]

So we don't get that interview with Berdych do we?

No lol De minaur didn't win instead we had to watch Will's interview

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

That was really bad

he is seriously not funny like an american dave hughes

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

can 7 not afford a better commentator or host for the coverage then big nose bas

 

[Wolfs]

Alf pls. No one asked you.

Still beats the Russians' MKR ad and that "What's a computer"

its 15

loses it on a double fault as well

Not much here. It is afterwards where the hurt will finally hit. Winner of St. Petersburg, Good results at IW/Madrid and a quarter-final in the French Open(where she was favourite). The signs were at the French with the troubles of her game started. Her serve that tournament was shocking and the errors were mounting. Include her bitchy behaviour during it and a lot of people are saying karma.

ffs another grunter

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

A while ago I watched an highlights from an old Wimbledon final and it was so nice to watch tennis without any grunting.

 

[BobbyMorri]

A lot of average players there. Schmieds lost 15 in a row when she got bad. I think Rus has the record at 18 straight losses.

She will break it i reckon.

If you close your eyes, you will sometimes get her confused for Azarenka. She can sometimes make the same noise.

Sabalenka is the very definition of a Ball basher. Her game is not a rollercoaster. It is either on or not. Seems like it is not tonight with the errors she is making
