Australian Open Day 7

The battle for quarter final spots begin. Looking forward to see if seppi can make his first quarter final, Hewitt and groth continue their doubles run and if course Dimitrov vs Kyrgios tonight.

Best game in the womens is starting now. Most even anyway.

If Kontaveit can control the winners/errors ratio, she will win. I think CSN will slowly get on top of her though.

Day 7 predictions:
Kontaveit over CSN in 2
Wozniacki over Rybarikova in 3
Nadal over Schwartzman in 3
Kyrgios over Dimitrov in 4
Svitolina over Allertova in 2
Cilic over PCB in 4
Mertens over Martic in 2
Edmund over Seppi in 5

Just saw the Osaka interview...

1) Love her, didn't see the match but she was charming as ****.

2) Well done Seven. Basil's general incompetence has now been showcased to the world. Crrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnnggggeeeee.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Kontaveit has this. she is playing well.

 

[Arbuckle]

Wow. What a comeback from Suarez Navarro.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Kontaveit has this. she is playing well.

As I said at the beginning, CSN will slowly overcome Kontaveit.......

5 straight for CSN....

I have no idea what is going to happen in this 3rd. Will the real Kontaveit please turn up

I stopped watching this match because I thought it was pretty much over but now it's 1-1 set all.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I thought it was smart of Seppi to come here and play the Canberra Challenger as a lead up (which he won, final against Fucsovics) as I think any competition tennis you can get here in Australian conditions before the AO is good. Hoping he can win his match today but Edmund is in good form.

It is a little frustrating that 7 missed the entire first game of the 3rd set. Kontaveit is making far too many ue at the minute. Needs to cut them out quickly otherwise she'll be going home.

This has happened so often this year, is it deliberate? Like they think people won't notice if it's a whole game or something? Or maybe they now guarantee advertisers more time so are sacrificing the first game of sets to accommodate it. It's happened so often that I can no longer believe it isn't planned.

Telecast is getting worse today if that's possible! They also missed the first game of the 2nd set and multiple first points at the change of ends.

Should be an interesting 3rd set.

I will be an outsider and say Kyrgios will beat Dimitrov tonight.

I think kyrgios is the favourite. I actually think Grigor will win tonight. Whoever does has a great shot of making the semis, with the winner to face Edmund or seppi.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Thats better Kontaveit. push CSN back and keep pounding and pounding.You will get the error or a short ball which you can then finish her off.

or it was good before you tried hitting it down the line on the run again on deuce for another UE.

 

[rippersnipper]

Kontaveit has a lovely forehand

I am hoping for Kyrgios as he can beat Nadal and Federer. Dimitrov very unlikely to do that.

Kyrgios would make some interesting finals.

 

[BobbyMorri]

I like a replay as much as the next person. and i am used to 7 missing the first game of a set. they have done it for years.

But missing the first point in the vital game is poor in anyones book

Kontaveit has nerves issues.

EDIT: missed 2 points this time at 6-6......

Missing the first point when someone is serving for the match is horrible.

 

[pepsi]

And now we miss the first 2 points of Kontaveit serving to stay in the match. Shocking.

 

[JackNah_8]

Going by recent form, Kyrgios would have to be the favourite. Dimitrov hasn't been that great, so far, and his second serve is questionable.

It will be a good contest

 

[BobbyMorri]

oh no. not again. surely Kontaveit will have the capacity to finish this off(or lose it) before it gets to silly territory.

Deja vu

Deja vu

Don't think we'll go as long as yesterday. The girls were playing more solid tennis yesterday and they were evenly matched game style wise.
