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...

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…

I’m worried that he will find form soon enough and it will all be the same repeat.

I’d give any Top 10 player a good chance against him if they get a day match against him. I’d give De Minaur an even better chance if it is a day or night match. Think he can beat him in either of those conditions.

I want him to win the whole thing again but I have a feeling he won't this year.

I think he will win it again if he doesn’t gets day matches and doesn’t run into De Minaur.

 

[samFFC]

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

Yup you found it there.
Also in 2022 - he was meant to play RLA night before he got deported!!!

Need the Immigration Minister to stop him playing a night match!

Yeah if an Aussie was ever guna win the men’s title it’d be this year. I agree de Minaur at night is still just as good and already played him at UC at night so has that confidence to do it again

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.

Wont happen, will have to be a night match for Demon over Djokovic in the following rounds of he stays in the draw [emoji38][emoji1696]

I would just like to see someone else win. It’s prob bc you are a fan of his which is like me with Rafa and RG, we crave for them to win their best tournaments every year but if someone new won RG this year I’d be okay with that even though it’s Rafa’s last year to win it, I’m just glad to see him play one more year and excellent if he wins but if he doesn’t think I’ll be okay.

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

From the article, last year was the first time anyone had played all their matches at night the entire tournament.

Who does ADM play in the 4th round?

 

[Drummond]

Sonego could’ve had this set but leaking errors.

Looking like Rublev. Should be night match written all over that.

I know Rafa doesn’t get all night matches bc he selects to play in the day time occasionally, but that’s ridiculous, so to beat Djokovic you have to play him when it suits him the best! Alex will have to do it, that’s it…

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Sonego could’ve had this set but leaking errors.

He took it by the looks of things

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

SONEGO!

 

[YeoShuey]

Sonego vs Alcaraz has a similar score line to Sonego vs Evans at the moment. This should go to 5.

If Sonego wins this set, will probably win in 4.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

ADM will frustrate Rublev with his all court defense haha

 

[Drummond]

He’ll probably lose the set 6-0 now. Songeo what was that FH? Sets the tone for the set I think.

 

[YeoShuey]

I like both of these players. They are good role models for the sport.

 

[BobbyMorri]

On the all-night play...not a fan. Not a for when it was Federer, not a fan now.

An unwritten rule should be that you are required to at least have one day match. This will probably happen to Nole this year. ADM will be prime time night if he continues to win. A potential ADM v Sinner Quarter would require a nighttime action and anything less of that would be a disgrace. (though I think Rublev will beat ADM in the 4th)

Also, just for the laughs, would love to put a potential Novak v Ben Shelton match on JCA. Oh, it would create beef. Won't happen, but a man can dream.

 

[Hamingja]

Zverev / Klein in a final set tiebreaker right now as well.

I'm pretty sure Zverev has one of the best 5 set records on tour and it is an absolutely misleading stat because the players he beats in 5 are all players he should beat in 3 or 4.

 

[Hamingja]

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

I know she started late because she came through the college system but she can't be that old

What would a 20 year old do with all that prize money
