Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 6

[Drummond]

But he’s been so so average this AO. Just does not look dangerous at all

Nah, that’s just ADM.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Not sure what happened to Bonzi in that TB

Go Alex!!!

 

[Drummond]

Lol I’ve never heard the umpire give a speech like that to the crowd before haha. Amazing.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

After a sluggish start Demon has been good

Onya Alex

 

[Drummond]

Fancy showing the opening of Wolf vs Mmoh (lol) over the latter stages of an excellent match over on 1573. Like seriously, unbelievable.

 

[AdelaideGT]

Demon doing ok despite that first-set hiccup.

Be nice to see him match his R4 from last year (at least) & not lose any ranking credits.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Shame that Nick is injured with all these top seeds going out would back him to get to the final

 

[AdelaideGT]

I like Demon, will never be a superstar but a handy player

ADM is a perfect #2 for a country like Australia.

Consistent around #25 in the world and capable of upsetting others higher than him on his day.

If we had Kyrgios as a reliable #1 we would be even more competitive at events like Davis Cup (even though we made the final last year without Nick) and in the United Cup (even though we made the Fed Cup final without our star Ash).

Imagine the inaugural United Cup in Sydney where Australia's team included:

Kyrgios, de Minaur, Kubler, Peers
Barty, Tomjlanovic, Hunter, Stosur

Could certainly have been winners.

Lets go Alex

 

[YeoShuey]

A straight sets win would be a good result for De Minaur. Gives him some rest and a chance against Djokovic.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Alex been very impressive after the first set

 

[Drummond]

Fruhvirtova wins!! Through to face Vekic in 4R, what an opportunity for both of them wow.

 

[YeoShuey]

Yes ALEX!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I am watching the Rune match and I don’t get all the Rune hype in this thread.

De Minaur more likely to trouble Djokovic than Rune imo.

Beat Novak last year. He’s a much better player than Di Minaur. Want Rublev to beat him

Go Fruit Salad!

 

[Xtreme]

What's with the main channel 9 channel showing the current (demon) match on like an internet stream ? the picture's clear but it looks like it's stuttering na bit when moving left to right (and my motion control settings are disabled).

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Well done Alex

 

[YeoShuey]

Beat Novak last year. He’s a much better player than Di Minaur. Want Rublev to beat him

By your own logic, Rune beat Rublev last year too so he will probably win that one too.

Anyway, I wasn’t really impressed with his match today. Thought De Minaur looked really good in comparison but that may be because he has had an easy run?

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

Boom Croatians going mental about the crowd again

Pretty much Di Minaur has had the dream draw. I think Rune does beat Rublev I just hope I’m wrong as Rublev is a better matchup for Novak

 

[Munich]

I don't mind Wolf

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Shame that Nick is injured with all these top seeds going out would back him to get to the final

Playing 7 matches over 5 sets is a push he got a walkover at Wimbledon which helped

 

[Munich]

Who on earth is this interviewer?

That's Shapo's service move!

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well done Alex, pleased to see him advance to the next round.
