Halep's grunt is a ******* joke.

 

[JackNah_8]

I hate when their grunting gets louder. Annoying.

This match is never ending

The grunt is just lasting way longer than realistic or necessary. She cuts it off when she hits it out or into the net.

Yes! I hate that and Maria does the same.


Let's see if Halep holds serve now!


Edit. Finally Halep wins. I don't think she'll reach the quarters.

Next Round 4 Osaka v Halep

[Elton Johns Wig]

Alright, showtime, here we go.

 

[JackNah_8]

Great effort by Diego.

Now it's time for Nick K v Dimitrov

Lol. That girl the other night put him to shame.

Lol! That girl was shocking, I couldn't even watch that match.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Nick won't reach the top until he gets his head in the right space.

Grigor winning the battle of wills, much more patient.

 

[JackNah_8]

Dimitrov is a class player and moves so well on court. Nick is going to struggle to come back now.

He is good at best of 3 tournaments but Grand Slams is just a different story.

Plus Nick needs to work on his groundstrokes, his lucky that he has a strong serve

 

[AngryRanga]

I hate the awkward jab backhand when he gets stuck mid-court, despise it even

 

[JackNah_8]

Great win Dimitrov, his movement is insane

Great effort by Nick

Fun to watch. Grigor on a different level to his first couple of matches.

Entertaining match. Nick was pretty good but Dimitrov was more solid and moves better.

Nick has potential and will only get better.

Some good matches today

Garcia v Keys
Halep v Osaka
Pliskova v Strycova

I like this US guy - great name lol Tennys Sandgren

 

[philreich]

Nadal v Federer final I reckon - with Murray not there, it'll take a huge upset for someone else to make it to Sunday.

 

[JackNah_8]

Don't forget about Novak or Berdych might cause an upset

I would like to see Dimitrov make a breakthrough and win a Grand slam this year

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

Novak elbow a concern?

And yes, Tennys a great name, get on board.

Regarding last nights match. Nick, if he was 2 years older (in the head) wins that. He still plays dumb tennis, picks the wrong option, or goes for too much too soon.
Swap heads last night, put Grigors head on Nick, it's straight sets IMO. That is a credit and compliment to Grigor. The ability to play your game within your parameters eliminates errors. Grigor was running at less than half the errors of Nick last night.

Novak's elbow seems ok. I think he is beginning to find his old form, always a dangerous opponent. He should beat Chung in 3 or 4 sets.


Dimitrov's game has improved quite a bit since he got a new coach last year. He just needs that self-belief that he can win a Grand Slam

Nick needs a coach, he is making silly mistakes and like you said picks the wrong options. Long term, he can't just rely on a big serve to win matches at Grand Slams level .

Tennys lol Do you play tennis?

Elton Johns Wig you have to watch Hsieh, her style is so different from most players. What a smart player

If she's on now, I'm bloody working.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

That's why I used to love watching Fabrice Santoro....little guy, no power, all craft. He was fun to watch.

 

[JackNah_8]

Damn. She's playing now! I'm not working today so I'm watching Kerber v Hsieh atm. I'm stunned lol Kerber lost the first set

You have to watch the highlights of the first set.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Hsieh is amazing to watch. She beat my girl Aga the other day but she’s now forgiven. This is like watching the female Miloslav Mecir and she now has a massive fan.
