Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 6

[FourthTimeAround]

Djokovic showing his class, but clearly not going to get through another week.

Who’s the tournament favourite now? Tsitsipas?

Djokovic is the tournament favourite still.

I think if he gets through tonight, won’t have any issues and will win the title even though injured.

That Korda looks as sharp as a pin. Such clean tennis from him.

 

[Munich]

It surely is a damn disgrace that these games are all being played at the same time.

Shelton would really piss me off if I was Popyrin

 

[danstar]

Popyrin out, should have been gone 1st round to be fair

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Good night Poppy

What a let down

 

[matt_897]

Shelton is just a better player…

 

[BACCS]

Shelton would really piss me off if I was Popyrin

Why? Love Shelton’s passion. He also just isn’t missing much tonight. Popyrin not as clean as against Fritz, especially his forehand.

 

[The Defender]

Popy victim of the over celebrating victory.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Popyrin played his Grand Final against Fritz.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Djokovic got a hamstring strain? Surely a torn hamstring he would not be able to play with?

 

[gordo2016]

This Popyrin game is hard enough to watch as it is without the defeatist commentary of Rashid. He made Alex's game seem as flat as a tack too.

No wonder he sounds defeatist. Forcing him to commentate a tennis match when he should be rolling his arm over for MI Cape Town has probably pissed him off.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Shelton is just a better player…

But good enough to beat Fritz reckon Poppy shat the bed and couldn't handle the pressure

If you win you get to stay in. Obvious ain't it?

 

[BACCS]

Shelton is just a better player…

Ah huh, doesn’t seem a lot between them

 

[kaiserchief13]

Why? Love Shelton’s passion. He also just isn’t missing much tonight. Popyrin not as clean as against Fritz, especially his forehand.

The constant come ons when he's just getting lucky hitting shots in he usually wouldn't

 

[FreoRicci]

Shelton is a beast today. Bloody incredible power

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The block returns aren’t working mate.

 

[Drummond]

But good enough to beat Fritz reckon Poppy shat the bed and couldn't handle the pressure

Popyrin doesn’t have the racquet head speed to handle Shelton’s pace.

 

[FreoRicci]

Significantly more unforced errors today then v Fritz

 

[BACCS]

Popyrin doesn’t have the racquet head speed to handle Shelton’s pace.

Not sure many could if he maintains this form all tournament

 

[BACCS]

Significantly more unforced error starts today then v Fritz

Shelton making plenty too, only one break of serve for the night.

 

[BACCS]

I’m loving Shelton, has a laugh at heckling from the crowd. Plenty of passion. Nuts that he was still playing college a year ago and never played professional juniors outside the US.

 

[Redline]

Didn’t know him really well but I had a bit to do with Shelton's Dad when he was playing, still remember how nice a guy he was. Super friendly and would do anything for anybody
