Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 2

[Jimmybob]

Yep sure is. Think everyone prefers Jim Courier.

Couriers a bloody legend, can’t have aus open without him!

Lol to all the people waiting in line to watch, what I am assuming, is a very average game.

Not sure why you would line up to a full stadium when the line goes forever. Do people eventually get in??

Chardy wins the inaugural 10 point tiebreak

Actually it's the 3rd of the tournament. And it's an absolute shit way to end a grand slam battle.

Blind linesman

Kyrgios is an utter embarrassment to Australia. I don’t care if you lose. Just have a ruddy crack and show some pride in yourself. Absolutely shambolic.

I don't know, man.

Kyrgios would be at least 100th in embarrassment to Australia. I mean there is the PM, Libs, Palmer, That guy who sings Healing Hands (I hate that song with a passion), NRL players who get in trouble.

All things considering, Kyrgios is not that bad.

Was there any awkwardness with the players/umpire at the end with the new rules?

The fans may as well leave now this is going to be done in 10 mins.

The way Kyrgios just lost it at that linesperson was just so pathetic. He wasn't even a guarantee to win the point. Always someone else's fault with Nick.

 

[gordo2016]

It’s as if he’s embarassed to be second best, and fakes an injury as an excuse to hide behind.

A tennis player that fakes an injury when losing? Unheard of.

One of the British girls I think celebrated when she reached 7 and then realised. Thankfully she won.

Sure but that was a howler wasn’t just in- half the ball was in!

Did anyone catch the Djokovic match?
How did he look?

Thursday night RLA match:
Djokovic v Tsonga (replay of the 2008 final)

He 100% wasn't but there's a difference being mid-rally and having to face another first serve from a guy like Raonic when it's hard enough to return his serve in the first place.
Not justifying what he did, just saying I understand where the frustration comes from

Completely capitulated afterwards over something not even within his control. Not long ago he wasn't bothering even trying to return first serve so maybe he should look at himself instead.

I want him to succeed so much and really like him but that just was not good enough.

Looked like they realised it was first to 10
Unlike Katie Boulter

Worst rule change in decades. Absolutely despise it.
