Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 2

[The Cryptkeeper]

Most likely lol he is going to lose next match anyway

I don't think he wins but I would never rule it out. Kyrgios has beaten Medvedev both times they have played (both matches were in 2019). Of course Medvedev has taken the next step since then and Kyrgios has regressed for any number of reasons. But Nick does look like he has put some fitness work in and if he serves like he did last night then it's not a simple match for Medvedev.

Medvedev probably goes through but I can see Kyrgios taking at least a set and if that happens to be the first then it becomes a 50/50 proposition.

Not bad for a recent world number 1,100. At the start of 2019 before the pandemic, he won 59 matches out of 80 for the year. Insane stuff. Managed to make the top 110 at the end of it. Exciting to watch. Every round he progresses through in the Majors, nice little pay day

Injuries have ****ed him a bit last couple of years, any time he starts looking good he has to take a couple of months off. Hopefully that changes this year

Inglis absolutely smoking Fernandez

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Go Inglis.

 

[juice t]

Inglis is 15/24 against Fernandez’ 2nd Serve

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

3rd time lucky for Inglis. Well done

 

[AdelaideGT]

And Maddison Inglish gets the biggest win of her career.

Disposes of the US Open finalist in straight sets.

Kept calm at the end when nerves would've affected most players.

First time she has ever progressed past R1 of a Slam & biggest pay-packet of her life.

Is Rybakina serious

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Inglis

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Two veterans (Gasquet and Kohlschreiber) both won their matches.

 

[armpit]

Thompson breaks back in the 3rd set.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

He’s just broken too and held serve.

 

[Anzacpaul]

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Is Rybakina serious

Zarina just took the TB I noticed.

Zarina just took the TB I noticed.

Pathetic Rybakina

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Thompson needs to take advantage this set, playing better but Johnson is hitting a lot of baselines which is messing things up a bit

 

[BobbyMorri]

So happy for Sam Stosur.

She has so many unhappy memories at Melbourne Park in singles.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Thompson looks gone now, which is unfortunate…

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rybakina found a fraction of a brain late in that set

Honestly how is she flopping sets to Diyas

 

[Gigantic]

And Maddison Inglish gets the biggest win of her career.

Disposes of the US Open finalist in straight sets.

Kept calm at the end when nerves would've affected most players.

First time she has ever progressed past R1 of a Slam & biggest pay-packet of her life.

Thought she was a bit unlucky last year drawing the defending champ Kenin

Glad she won today.

Lol Felix

Generation Next don’t make me laugh

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Basilashvili had the toughest 1st round opponent on paper and it's been proven correct. Murray in some good form ATM and playing consistent solid tennis forcing errors from his opponent regularly. It's the difference in the match. Against a lesser player Nikoloz would get away with being a bit loose.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Murray playing well. Good on him.

 

[tigs2010]

Enjoying the Murray match. Used to dislike him

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Murray!!

A real nostalgia watching him win at the AO.
