Ffs she just cant get the better of her. The longer this goes the more pressure is on her.

 

[eDPS]

4:1 up in the deciding set, please Ash don’t do a Stosur

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

Holy s**t, that match point in the Sandgren/Fognini match was epic.

 

[NSWCROW]

Who knew hitting a slice backhand took so much effort..........................................................

 

[RAPPA]

Riske is punishing my ears

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

She is a petite girl

Very little Riske of her winning

Hopefully she doesn't spoil the Barty

 

[juss]

Riske is just playing solid tennis with no errors, thats reliable in tie breakers which is what worries me, Barty has made errors tonight.

 

[drd23]

Now she has changed her shrieking style. This is stuffed, its unsportswomanlike behaviour

I've only been watching bits and pieces but I think I've heard about 5 different shrieks out of her

Riske was the worst possible opponent for Barty given the windy conditions.

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

I think I prefer watching the giraffe-type girls play rather than these short people.

 

[GreyCrow]

Attack the 2nd

 

[GreyCrow]

And Barty wins

Good game

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Holy s**t, that match point in the Sandgren/Fognini match was epic.

Sandgren loves playing in Australia.

Second quarter final appearance in three years.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Good win by Ash to overcome a difficult opponent.

 

[pepsi]

Tough match, riske played very well from the 2nd set on. Barty not in the best of form, but just keeps winning. Kvitova the slight favourite in their quarter final for me.

 

[swanssince2002]

Now the battle between our hometown hero and one of Bigfooty's favourites

 

[Sempfy]

Well done Ash, up against it after that second set but held firm and brought it home, fantastic win.

 

[Sempfy]

Fucsovics in 3

No really...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Fucsovics in 3

No really...

He’ll win a set

 

[kaiserchief13]

Reckon Hungary might win due to Federers old legs from the game 2 nights ago

 

[Sempfy]

Really doesn't matter who wins as their dreams will be dashed next round by the tennys god

 

[pepsi]

3rd round millman #47
4th round fucsovics #67
1/4 final sandgren #100

Not a bad run of opponents to a semi for Federer.

 

[Fossie 32]

I've only been watching bits and pieces but I think I've heard about 5 different shrieks out of her

It's stupid that they claim they need to squeal or shriek but changing to a different type of shriek mid match is taking the piss.
Seriously, they should stamp it out.

 

[Xtreme]

3rd round millman #47
4th round fucsovics #67
1/4 final sandgren #100

Not a bad run of opponents to a semi for Federer.

Too bad that he'll run into a brick wall known as Djokovic

 

[LukeParkerno1]

3rd round millman #47
4th round fucsovics #67
1/4 final sandgren #100

Not a bad run of opponents to a semi for Federer.

It’s a joke always was before the tournament
