Eh? Is this a joke?

I did check the date when I read it.

 

[Gasometer]

Well let’s see how long this lasts here with this action packed ever changing Board atm; or it goes to Siberia I suppose

So can anyone beat the Joker?

You really don't let things go.

Anyway, I remember when TPA and FG were fawning over that French player many years prior.

Alize Cornet.

Alize Cornet.

That's the one! You two were providing a good repartee!

Absolutely

As predicted this Board has died in the arse the further we’ve got into summer.

I’m not sure how Pav has swung this but he’s somehow got a hosting gig on 9gem at aus open

The missus got a day pass yesterday. I went into the city and did some shopping then spent the afternoon at the Casino.

That's my interest in tennis.

*, I really dislike that Kokkinakis *er. Just oozes rich s**t campaigner.

Thanks for the invite!

Popyrin leading Djoker in the third set… surely not?

It's just on serve, isn't it. Getting two sets against Djokovic is nigh on impossible. If you just get two, your chances of winning increase exponentially

He broke Novak's serve late in the second set.

Since then Popyrin has had some calf complaint.

Suspect Novak is just going easy for a little spell... but its getting interesting.

Anyone who beats Joker can stay at my place next week or the week after; that is the level of respect and acclaim I have for this man

 

[Makeshift Park]

Poor bugger looks like he's run out of gas in the fourth.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

I was at Kooyong the day Steffi Graf stabbed Monica Seles. It seemed so real. I haven't been back to the hollow turf since.

Demon looking promising at the half way mark

I was reading the Harvey Norman and spat my eggs all over the screen when I read Joker goes into OUR Botanical Gardens and cuddles a Moreton Bay

 

[Makeshift Park]

Demon v Rublev is turning into a cracker.

 

[Benj7]

demanure’s a flog, hope rublev buries him.

Looking unlikely. I do love Rublev's crazy Beethoven gesticulations though.

Don't think I've seen de minaur make two consecutive first serves yet. Get your s**t together mate

Just said the same thing - dreadful stats on first serve.

His legwork during rallies is pretty incredible though. So many shots I swore were one foot outside his range, and he keeps returning them, more often than not.

I'm not having a go at his all-round skills. Just his serving
