Lucky you!

Aussies just don't have the mental toughness required to find a way to win in ANY sport. I will award her a participation award for trying as a consolation prize.

Aussies are great front runners, but when things get tough they often lack the killer blow imo.

I really shouldn't but you were saying

Nine are the happiest here. Nick matches are the highest rating. His Match with Nadal outrated the final. I can see good numbers on Friday night.

Well done nick heart of a tiger you stuck it up the haters bum

Hahahahaha everything really does come back to Richmond with your support base

 

[LukeParkerno1]

has 1 tmw with the Kokk.

Good comeback. Poor Humbert. Really tough to play there.

If he has an ounce of a brain he’ll pull out

Not if the morons who cheer after every fault have anything to do with it

Thiem kyrgios has to be on RLA.

 

[YeoShuey]

Disrespectful booing when Thiem’s name was mentioned.

 

[Gigantic]

Surely both Nick and Kokk are in consensus that they should not play doubles

Wasnt it "ooooo" as in Thiem's good?

Looking forward to Drakecake showing up again if Nick is losing on Friday

Very on brand for this crowd

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Nick has a massive opportunity this year zero points to defend

Could realistically be seeded top 15 by the US Open

Thiem kyrgios has to be on RLA.

Has to be on Nicks Court Melbourne Arena

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

That last shot shows why nick is the most popular player he gets the Aussie support like every Aussie player but also gets the young fans from immigrant parents from multiple nationalities

 

[Visions]

He won’t play doubles

You would think not.

Kokkinakis is playing 3rd up on RLA, and then would have to back up after being given a decent rest (think minimum is two hours), so if they did play it would be a night match.

Kokkinakis would be cooked, and Kyrgios would be having a shorter rest for the next day.

Can see them withdrawing tomorrow.

I believe it was "Doooooooooooooooominic".

Most surprising stat in tennis

Nicky K is 7-2 W-L record in 5 setters......

Think the doubles was more insurance if they lost early in the singles- both haven’t played a lot of tennis.

 

[Dhoni Dakurri]

Was that Sam Armytage in Kyrgios’ box?

Big servers do tend to do well in them, plenty of cheap points.
