Not at 37 he wouldn't have. Needed luck with the draw, and Federer didn't get it. I'll say it again, doubt he wins another Slam with Novak back to full fitness and these new stars coming through.

Yep I had joker from the get go, as did many. Nadal's looking supreme atm though. But I'm sticking with the Joker.Can't see how Novak loses now unless injury.....
Nice to Tsitipas break through, not as big as the Millman win at the US open but still pretty big.
Class act.

I would be happy enough with that final, have tickets to the final.
Last two times I went to AO I didnt even bother watching womens, watched 2-3 full days worth of mens, couldnt be bothered watching the womens on RLA, went to a showcourt instead. Don't mind womens on TV but mens live is far better in both quality and atmosphere.

RBA hasn't lost a match yet this year.
Beat Djokovic in Qatar. Anything is possible.

Djokovic is a different cattle of fish over 5 sets than 3.

We will see I guess...
All fans jump on bandwagons. I bet half the Greeks who live in Melbourne don't watch a lot of tennis other than GS as well as other players. Personally I couldn't stand a Novak v Rafa final. I'll be out that night anyway.

Nadal has gone away and worked on improving aspects of his game because he knows Federer and Djokovic has the wood on him. He isn't concerned about anyone else. With those changes Federer has a different proposition to deal with which he won't be able to counter now. We won't have a big 3 much longer it will be the big 2 for I think another 2 years. Still well and truly the best in the business.

Federer vs djokovic are often classics, as with nadal vs Federer. But the djokovic vs nadal match up has been a bit of a grindfest in the past.

Give Novak SOME chance at the French, do repeat some. Plus RBA- that's his surface.

That won't happen. Tsitipas is the best chance if you want someone to possibly beat Rafa in that semi.

The 2012 final was unbelievably epic, stands atop the tree with the Nadal v verdasco semi from 2009 as the best matches ever at the Australian open.

You never know. Plenty of people would not have expected Tsitsipas to beat Federer today. Anything can happen...

Happy to be proven wrong. The only one I didn't want winning is Federer so now don't really mind who wins!

MUCH harder to beat Novak and for that matter Nadal over 5 than 3.
