Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 9

[Bumpswithagrin]

Khachanov in 4 but I would love Korda to win.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Roof closed is a massive advantage to Khatchanov

However think it goes 5 sets

Bitter Covid feud between Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur reignites

When Novak Djokovic was deported and missed the Australian Open last year, Aussie Alex de Minaur laughed: and the Serbian superstar clearly hasn't forgotten.

I wasn’t aware of the history between Djokovic and De Minaur. I am glad that Djokovic destroyed him yesterday.

Melbourne, hey? I’m about 8km from Melbourne park, it’s been bone dry all day.

Christ that’s really poorly written. Seems more like an opinion piece than an impartial article.

**** I hope we smash the Poms in the ashes this year. Fancy using the word salty in an article and not ironically.

 

[SaintBilly]

Anyway who gives a **** about that. Back in action now.

Oh that reminds me how do you pronounce Rybakina? I thought it was rib-ackena but it sounds like Sam and Casey the other day were saying Rye-ba-keen-er or ree-ba-keener.

Awesome. Thanks.


Looks like she might be on her way to the semis here!

 

[ep2018]

Rybakina has been good.

Pretty boring match that one with the Wimbledon champ winning as expected.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Karen looks very good this tournament

 

[Drummond]

Awful game Karen. First sign of his mental fragility. Again I feel the need to mention how much I hate this commentator.

 

[Drummond]

“You get the feeling Todd this is a massive point for Korda on serve”. It’s 3-3. I can’t handle this clown. They’re all massive at this point muppet.

 

[Drummond]

Seriously impressive BH DTL from Khachanov to take the first set. I feel like that set was far more important for him to take. Korda will hang in there and stay consistent.

That’s psialtis again. He’s just not right for this sport. Shut tf up.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Calling a 5th set TB to decide this has that feel to it

Calling a 5th set TB to decide this has that feel to it

I think Korda is stuffed. Late night match early in the tournament due to rain delays, the intensity vs Medvedev, the 5 setter vs Hurkacz, it’s taken it’s toll. He’s still young and pretty inexperienced.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Drummond who has a better chance against Tsispas

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Korda not converting break points.

Wrist is cooked.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Korda wake up

Guy looks spent

Tsitsipas 5-0 vs Khachanov lol. But a few meetings earlier in KK’s career. I think he’s a better player now, but even still, I don’t think he takes more than a set off unfortunately. Korda at full fitness and well rested a better challenge, but that ship has sailed. Good news is Djokovic is 8-1 vs Khachanov if he somehow advances. Rublev actually doesn’t concern me too much, a bit one dimensional for Novak IMO. Shelton is the x-factor here, just so unpredictable but Novak would wear him down.

Karen is a deadset robot. In a good way.
