Well, that was an eventful day. who said the mens would be boring. Sport is nothing but unpredictable. I like this schedule. the girls double back tomorrow and Nadal and Thiem could be EPIC!! So could Stan/Sascha. this is the last day below 30. On Thursday it starts to warm up to very hot...

Solid serving. Huge win.

 

[CURVE]

Well done Ash.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Well played Ash.

Should nearly win this tournament now.

 

[FreoRicci]

That’s why you play Petra in the heat

It’s only 25 max today. If Kvitova can’t handle that...

She’d have beaten her in any conditions.

Please get Courier back on the mic

I read all sorts of crap on this site during Wimbledon that Kvitova was unbeatable on hard courts and Barty wouldn’t get near her.

Well she beats Kvitova for fun these days.

INDOOR. Kvitova is basically unbeatable indoors. which can be an issue at Wimbledon before you say anything. She is super strong when things are quick(hence, 2 Wimbledons)

you were wrong in the end as well. You said she was going to win Wimbledon, no questions asked. We know how that ended.

She hates any heat though

The Casey/Barty interviews are a bit cringe. Casey is like a high school fan she just laughs and cant keep anything together. Its pretty crap interviewing.

 

[vaughany]

Great win by Barty!

Geez it is cringe central post match interview on court.

You know I'm a Bigfooty curse in that whomever I support tends to lose

Doesn't apply to Hawthorn unfortunately.

You've mentioned this several times already

 

[Xtreme]

Casey arrhhh

If Ash makes it she'll be Basil/Bruce/Kia Motors person and the trophy giver all in one

It's awkward, it's not even funny

If I'm not mistaken, first Aussie to reach an AO singles semi final since... Hewitt in 2005.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Ash would get flogged at night

You should stop with the statements. Having said that if you don't mind continually embarrassing yourself knock yourself out.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The match tonight will be better than this one

TA came up with the goods this summer. The ATP Cup was a great tournament for cities that hosted it. Rarely see the top players outside of Melbourne so it was great for Brisbane and Sydney in particular to get some great tennis. I went to both the SER vs RUS & AUS vs ESP semi, and the SER vs ESP final and it was fantastic. It also spurred the NSW govt to put a canopy on the KRA. Last time it had any atmosphere like that was the Olympics. The ATP investing some moolah and points behind the event made it a must play for all but Federer. Need to iron out some scheduling issues though.

Great for Sydney, yes. Not great for Perth.

The Kia Motors guy is good though

He is prone to statements. Usually egg on face.

Correct

 

[2Knights]

Like Barty's laid-back reaction to winning - a short fist pump, then stroll up to the net for the handshake. Much prefer this to the histrionics you see from some other players.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Well done Ash. Fought that first set through like a true Aussie and then dominated from then on. Bring on the Semi! Come on Aussie come on come on!

Jesus Christ so what. This is not indoors. Barty is the No 1 player in the World currently and has been the best player the last 12 months. She is a vastly superior model to the one Petra beat last year in QF. Barty has her measure since then and had again today. If She wins the tournament FFS give credit where it is due instead of excuses why her opponent never won. Nadal has 12 French do we make excuses for all the players who can't beat him on that shit Because they are better indoors on carpet or better on hardcourts in the US ?
