Grand Slam Day 5 - Australian Open 2024

[BobbyMorri]

Have fun Medvedev.

try and finish before 2am for everyone.

(in before a 4am finish)

He did not finish before 2am....

It was nearly 4am.

Anyway, "day 6" is here

Grand Slam - Day 6 - Australian Open 2024

I should try and get this done before Day 5 ends up in the morning of day 6. So, day 4 was full of one-sided matches. Today, has seen a lot of matches go the distance. Heck, even Iga has to fight for 3 hours. Indeed, only 1 mans match went to 3 straight sets. I won't count Medvedev, in this, he...

Frustrating that Purcell tried a backhand winner on 8-7. He didn’t need to go hard. Force Ruud to run then find a winner or volley chance

Over to the closing stages of the other final TB now.

Zverev should win that but Klein is good keeping in this.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Another Aussie losing a 5 set TB how many is that now this tournament

Tbf Thompson probably would have beaten Ruud.

Zverev should win that but Klein is good keeping in this.

And he does...Survives another tough early round match.

Bad luck Max

Feels like the Aussies have been a bit unlucky in the close ones this year.

 

[largebus]

Good fight from Purcell, at least he didn't squander a break like Rinky did.

 

[yabsy]

Feels like overall there's been a fair few final set TBs in the tournament so far?
Particularly in the mens.

All the men’s players seem to be performing less well.

De Minaur exceeding expectations at the moment. Read a crazy stat that he has spent the less time in court this tournament than any other player so far.

He’s definitely got the upper hand on Djokovic then lol

 

[BobbyMorri]

Missed that. I love Collins' spunk. Doesn't give too many craps

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

I’m watching Struff now! He’s down a break…

Djokovic will struggle the moment they give him a day match.

Which will probably be in Round 4. Can’t see them putting Djokovic vs Shelton in the night slot over De Minaur vs Rublev. Who knows though?

 

[YeoShuey]

Alcaraz may struggle with Sonego.

Pretty decent 5 set player who has beaten him before.

Bet he picks night match though and whatever he wants he gets. So rigged like they should just hand him the trophy now. I say that every year and every year he wins it…hopefully I’m wrong this year…

Tiley needs to go.

Alcaraz with the handy break.

Draper with the Aussie colours.

I think the men have done OK, they've all been beaten by higher ranked opponents and most have gone to at least four sets. It's just annoying that so many close ones have been losses. Would have been nice if one of them had jagged an upset.

Kokkinakis won a close one and caused an upset... probably used all his luck and will lose tonight.

De Minaur has had an easy run so far, hopefully that works in his favour. He's the only one I have high expectations for. I don't think he can win it though.

 

[samFFC]

Djokovic gets ANOTHER night match tomorrow.

Absolute joke. Alcaraz and co need to complain.

Alcaraz and Swiatek playing day today
Saba playing day tomorrow.

Getting another comfortable free ride by AO management.

It is frustrating for so many to get very close but all lose

Kokkinakis won a close one and caused an upset... probably used all his luck and will lose tonight.

I won $100 on that match … so I’m happy

That makes sense

He is easily our best player

As I said, I can’t even remember the last time he had a day match at the AO. It’s a complete joke.

If it's Rublev, I reckon the night match for sure, but if Korda gets the upset, it might be the day match (assuming up against Djokovic / Shelton)

If Demon and Rublev end up winning tomorrow, then faces Rublev (and wins) and goes on to face Sinner and none of those matches are night matches, I will be completely shocked. De Minaur vs Sinner is especially night match material but they seem to be favouring Djokovic this whole tournament so it won’t surprise me if they make that a day match too.

 

[YeoShuey]

Djokovic’s last two losses at the AO were Day Sessions. No wonder he is only playing nights… A joke

Someone needs to take him out, I feel someone is getting close to it too bc his last two matches have shown weaknesses just need another top 10 player with weapons to do so…
