Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 9

[JamisonRun40]

There is a men's double match that I have been scoreboarding and it has been epic. 6 all third set. Super tb coming up.

 

[FreoRicci]

What’s with the PSG jersey? A Nike collab?

 

[AdelaideGT]

The season is ridiculously long.

The tours have shrunk the schedule in the past. And a bunch of top players spend their 'break' playing in exhibitions for cash.

eg Kyrgios playing in the Middle East in November/December.

 

[FreoRicci]

Surely Barty sees this and comes out of retirement 2024. Azarenka still challenging 10 years on. 34 years old

loves Messi...

Think there is more to it than that but it is not a fad. She posts a lot of PSG stuff with her kid

 

[JamisonRun40]

Barty is never coming back so get use to it. On AO radio today one of the commentators mentioned they had spoken to Craig Tyzzer who confirmed Barty will not make a comeback after giving birth.

 

[Munich]

The vast majority of who? Half of the current mens top 10 have had retirements in the last year or so.

Exactly. The poster mentioned being annoyed by a retirement.

It's rife.

Bar a few who hold no retirements in their career.

 

[Munich]

Onya Vika never in doubt!

in 5 years time when the money is dry, she'll be back

Even if it's just for the legends doubles

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'm sure Korda didn't want to retire but if he can't hit a ball what is the point being out there. Well done Karen. Hope he makes it too the final even without the flags. They won't be any love for him either. Crowds haven't exactly been cheering for them. I couldn't believe they wanted Rune to win.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Damn 9Now has closed for the day. I was going to stream Hunter/Mertens doubles match.

 

[Chism]

It’s amazing how vulnerable Tsitsipas looks when you steer clear of his forehand. Make him beat you on the back hand side and you are a dead set chance and Lehecka is allready doing it.

 

[yaco55]

That was a shocking loss by Pegula who was completely out of sorts - Anyway she is a chance to win the doubles with Gauff.

 

[FreoRicci]

That’s tough. Lehecka didn’t too bad that game. Nerves.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Early break for tsitsipas

He’s annoying. When he’s up and about he’s a cocky POS.

Ah thought you meant the vast majority don't retire.
Better safe than sorry imo

 

[Munich]

He’s annoying. When he’s up and about he’s a cocky POS.

He's annoying at all times.

Have you seen his twitter ramblings? My god.

 

[FreoRicci]

He's annoying at all times.

Have you seen his twitter ramblings? My god.

The question is who’s Twitter is it really? Wouldn’t be surprised if his father occasionally goes on there

 

[FreoRicci]

Lehecka just needs to go down the line at times. He’s battling well

 

[FreoRicci]

Oh Jiri. Just hit it back. That’s a wasted point

 

[FreoRicci]

Pummeling Stefanos’ backhand

 

[Drummond]

I like this kid. Go after that BH!

 

[FreoRicci]

Too far back behind the baseline. Needs to get up 2 metres

 

[Drummond]

Hate this clown Tsitsipas. Cmon Lehecka!
