Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 7

[LukeParkerno1]

Which would be strange given Rune has a 2-0 record over him.

5 Sets would be another story

Tsispas is $5.50 to win the tournament second favourite. Rune is $9.50. You’d assume if they play and I hope they don’t, Tsispas would be $1.50 odd to win

That was nuts.

Let’s not forget that one of those wins was at Roland Garros over 4 sets. Also not forget Rune has had straight sets victories in all of his matches at the Aus Open.

I would have Rune as the favourite but you never know I guess.

Difference between the pricing at the moment for tournament winner is due to their draw rather than their player against player in my opinion.

 

[Drummond]

I’m not sure I like Sinner’s chances. Tsitsipas standing on the baseline pummeling it, Sinner standing 2 metres behind. Tsitsi the one being the aggressor here.

 

[Drummond]

And as I type that, Sinner really steps it up! Set on level pegging.

Honestly think he’s a year away reminds me a little of Alcatraz a year before he broke through. Do feel he’s a better player long term though

Sinner…

Keep peppering that BH. You’ll get the short balls like that but you’ve got to keep the FH in court.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Sinner is a weird player. Big power and only serviceable mover yet plays a super defensive game. I dunno what it is, but a player like him shouldn't be standing 1.5m behind the baseline and chipping volleys.

 

[Drummond]

Too good. Disappointing stuff. Match-up issues.

 

[Hamingja]

The * is the Sportsbet ad that’s been on all afternoon?!

“If your players opponent retires hurt we’ll pay you out as a winner.

Eg. At last years French Open Zverev retired hurt against Nadal - so we’d be paying out Nadal for the win.”

Wtf?!

Why would you? You’re paying out the winner cos he *in won!

Different books have different retirement rules but at a minimum they usually need to complete a set for the bet to be valid. Some books require the match to be completed.

It used to be an easy match fix. If people knew someone was injured they could load up on the opponent, the injured player comes out and plays a game or two and then retires and you collect on the opponent.

 

[Drummond]

Now HOLD YOUR SERVE.

 

[Roos92]

This is some high level tennis. Sinner just needs to hang in and hope Tsitsipas drops a little.

Well, essentially 3 MP here you feel.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That’s all she wrote

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Great way to break!

Well done Tsip.. serve it out mate.

 

[Chism]

It makes me wonder what sort of coaching these players get. To beat the Greek you need to stay away from his forehand and make his back hand beat you.

Sinner just peppers away on his forehand side and then will wonder why he is down 2 sets early.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Cheerio Sinner

 

[FreoRicci]

Lehecka goes to world number 39. Impressive. Beaten two top 15 ranked players back to back.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Over for Sinner

Mark Philippoussis coach or mentor for Tsip?

BP conversion:

Tsitsipas 4/4
Sinner 2/8

The difference.

 

[Chism]

Sinner reminds me of Rusty from the Vacation movies!

 

[Drummond]

2/11, so bad. These errors aren’t even forced either. Another chance, surely…

 

[srobbo]

Weak as piss Sinner. That was your window….straight sets incoming

 

[Drummond]

Another return game, and more squandered BP’s from Sinner. He hasn’t been blown off the court, just hasn’t taken his opportunities.
