Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 4

Grand Slam - Australia Open - Day 5

Based on what? Last time Nadal beat Zverev on a hard court was 2017 and Zverev has improved tremendously since then. In my opinion, Zverev will smack Nadal and may cause some trouble for Medvedev. Based on the fact Zverev doesn’t win big games, Nadal in 3 or 4.

Well, that was just as predicted. A very boring day with only 1 major shock with top 10 seed Hurkacz losing.

Weather: 30C Sunny. Winds east to southeasterly 20 to 30 km/h.

Aussies in Action
O'Connell - Schwartzman (1st on court 3)
Sammy Sam - Pavlyuchenkova (2nd on Kia Arena)

Okay, this looks like a good night session. I don't think De Minaur has played on RLA much. Be nice for him to experience it. Hopefully, Murray can back it up. I also hope Sam can lose gracefully as she will be up against it v pav. I am sure that will have a ripping atmosphere. Personally, if I find time, I would love to see Tauson and Kontaveit smash the ball. One is the dark horse for this tournament, the other is hugely promising with a huge game.

Match of the day.
Medvedev - Kyrgios
Shocked that this one was scheduled on Rod Laver and not John Cena. It could blunt Nicks energy. He is really up against it against the best player at this tournament. he does have a 2-0 record against Medvedev, including a final win in 2019 at Washington Hardcourt. but Medvedev has upped his game since then and I expect an easy win for the Russian Troll.

Don’t be shocked if Wang beats Sabalenka she’s exactly the player that Sabalenka will hate

 

[danstar]

The quicker Sabalenka and Krejikova are gone from the tournament the better. Should be a great day of tennis today.

I will be keeping my eyes across Inglis, De minaur, Murray and the Kyrgios v Medvedev matches, the way the schedule is set, those matches shouldnt overlap much

 

[John Smith92]

I know O'Connell should be no chance today, but I was watching the end of Schwartzman's first round and he took an MTO to get some attention on his left quad right after failing to serve out the match and looked very awkward thereafter. Who knows how he recovers but if there is something wrong, I find it unlikely he'll get through a full best of 5.

Tiafoe - Fritz

This will be an interesting match

Tiafoe - Fritz

This will be an interesting match

This is the potential upset. Fritz is no certainty and Tiafoe despite his horrible choking ability has the potential

 

[John Smith92]

Majchrzak/de Minaur will be good to watch. Majchrzak has the game to be easily top 50 if he'd just stop getting injured

 

[BobbyMorri]

just had our first covid 19 walkover.

just had our first covid 19 walkover.

Shame the result didn’t come out mid Round 1 match

 

[JackNah_8]

Muguruza is down 4-1

 

[tigs2010]

Could be a late night guys. Schwartzman and O’Connell to finish around midnight

Both WTA Tour finalists digging themselves a hole

Fritz is pretty good on this court by recent form. Could go far in the tournament.

Emma Raducanu's ‘massive scream’ got in Sloane Stephens’ head

She might be the darling of the tennis world but 19-year-old Brit Emma Raducanu has “a lot to learn”, according to her first round opponent Sloane Stephens.

Tauson is happening.

2 BP in the 2nd set to make it 5*-4. 2 saved

Tauson serving for the match

 

[juice t]

She may be named Anett but that collapse was more like Ansett

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Kontaveit you've thrown away a gift ride to the semis

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Stats after the first set of Schwartzman vs O'Connell.

Like something from a womens match.

Who knows how he recovers but if there is something wrong, I find it unlikely he'll get through a full best of 5.

Doesn't cope the best with heat either so a five setter could test him.

 

[Gigantic]

Muguruza out. Gosh.

 

[JackNah_8]

Muguruza out. Gosh.

wow already out!

She was playing well late last year so surprised to hear she lost in rd2

 

[juice t]

Bottom half of women's draw is wide open now

Mugu gone
Kontaveit gone
Sabalenka serving like shit

 

[phantom13]

94 minutes for the first set... Jesus Christ what a grind.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Schwartzman should be a lesson for all of us.. if he can make it as athlete.. so can anyone.. height is just a number guys.. height is just a number.

 

[Broar]

Wow Channel 9 are a disgrace, put back the Schwartzman match. Shameful.
