Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 3

[eDPS]

De minaur won't beat Nadal he doesn't have the weapons. Being a great counter puncher won't get you far against arguably the best counter puncher ever who can attack just as well. The guys that beat Nadal don't give him room to be attacking and keep him on the backfoot. Alex will have to go into ultra aggressive mode to have a chance imo.

I did say challenge, don’t think anyone would expect him to beat De Minaur. De Minaur looks cactus in this game he couldn’t afford to lose that 3rd set.

Any chance of De Minaur challenging Nadal in the 3rd round went down the drain after losing that 3rd set.

No chance at all.

Disagree. I believe the problem is with Hewitt. Tennis Australia should replace him with someone who is fair, not bias and doesn't play favourites.

He's not playing favourites, why should he give a wild card to an injury prone player ?

Hewitt was right in making the Kokk-head go through qualifying.

He was not injury prone at the time. He excluded him from play in the Davis Cup and did the same thing with the Wild Card situation.

Hewitt has his favourites and you can tell who they are.

Meh he's susceptible to injury, Hewitt did the right thing

Puts hand up!

I am!!

 

[Saint12]

Me actually. Would save me the tennis australia fap-fest.

Isn't he playing an Aussie?

Want millman to win, but what RBA has done on Melbourne arena in the past couple of days has been bloody impressive. 2 huge, parochial crowds supporting the opponent and both going to 5 sets.

I hope De Minaur loses as well.

If he wins, I hope his next match is shorter and has some crowd support lol

What’s the poor young fella done to deserve that? Has been playing his heart out

Give it a rest with the anti aussie stuff. It's so boring. This is a grand slam in Australia, it's good to have players do well here because more of the general Australian populatiom get interested.

Tennis in Australia needs all the young kids possible getting an interest in this sport, so that we have success down the road. This comes from Aussies doing well.

Nothing that he did wrong. More so that his mentor seems to play favourites. For that reason, I hope he loses.

 

[Wolfs]

So do I watch Laaksonen serving out the 4th set, or RBA serving out for the match?

Agut I guess

Only natural everyone has their favourites

That’s not Alex’s fault, I would hope an Aussie that gives his all would get a lot of support.

 

[juice t]

Yup he really is gonna blow a 2 set lead

lol! I thought it would be kids fighting over the towel, but no

 

[Wolfs]

Johnny played well. Great comeback but there is a reason why Bautista Agut consistently makes it to the Final 16.
