Australian Open 2022 Tennis Grand Slam

Hardcore depression after being raised by a monster.
I think she wrote a book about her problems (inc weight gain).

She's done pretty well for herself all things considered.
I'd eat a hundred hamburgers a day if that scumbag was my old man too!

She is an excellent commentator- incredibly insightful

I actually wouldnt mind reading that book if I got the chance .

From what I gather, Damir spent time in jail back in Serbia but from what I last heard, they are slowly reconciling over time?

Don't want to derail the train,but I watched him a bit yesterday.
Medical time-out in the 3rd set and straight into his bag of pills.
Won't go deep.
FWIW,my first and last bet on tennis

Our boy berrentini dedicated his win yesterday to imodium, so he's done pretty well to win playing in heavy, brown shorts.

Not easy dealing with your own personal code brown

Im backing sabalenka to put her serving woes behind her (for now at least) and power through in straight sets today @ 1.80.

So I see we have ourselves a wannabe train derailer.

Watching some matches from outside courts and there are no linesmen - has that always been the case?

They brought hawkeye in last year for all games cos of covid. Surprised they didnt stick with it 100% again.

The linesmen must have a powerful union

Farewell Priscilla - we hardly knew ye

PS - she is an atrociously poor player - BM58 quality

Just heard that Casper Ruud has withdrawn from the tournament, his spot to be also replaced by a lucky loser

Yep a little bit crook in the stomach yesterday, but while all that was going on he still managed to win 3 sets.

48+ hours until his next game, he should be fine, I'm sure he will stay away from the butter chicken this time round.

GTFO Ruud campaigner,only picked you because I like your name Casper.

Had a decent 2021 season reaching the semis of end of year ATP mens final. I wouldn’t begrudge him for his injury.

I faded Fernandez in Adelaide. Of course she wins that and then has played shit ever since. Losing to Inglis is atrocious.

Having said that though- the 3.80 on offer at tab for sabalenka to drop her first service game is a huge shout.

She has literally been underarm serving in her last 2 matches because of the yips

Yep…had a 20 leg H2H multi and who’s the only one that let me down, that’s right a bloody female. Can’t trust em

Bang- broken in her first service game.

Edit: and her second. Yikes. Brutal yips continue and nowhere to hide

 

[iluvparis]

Looks like only Barty, Millman and Vukic up for the Aussies tomorrow

 

[The_Steadier]

Will be watching tsisipas closely tonight as to whether he truly is fit coming off elbow surgery.

He said just a few weeks ago he lost all feeling in his arm serving

Stephens v radacaunu should be a belter too, giving sloane a good chance at causing an upset

 

[NYRB]

Kyrgios bringing out his inner Ronaldo suiiiii

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Anybody know what Kanepi was paying to knock off Kerber?

The upset specialist does it again

 

[NYRB]

id price Medvedev v Kyrgios

Medvedev 1.17 v 6.60 Kyrgios in the Rd 2 match up

I had a bit of a laugh at this Tweet:

2.72 BSP.

 

[NYRB]

1-1 Set all between Raducanu and Sloane Stephens

a toss of the coin heading into the 3rd

Raducanu gone from $1.11 into $2.08 outsider

 

[NYRB]

id price Medvedev v Kyrgios

Medvedev 1.17 v 6.60 Kyrgios in the Rd 2 match up

Odds on the Rd 2 exchange not far off from my prediction

Medvedev 1.14 v 7.40 Kyrgios
