Grand Slam Australian Open 2023 - Day 1

[BobbyMorri]

China has been begging for a strong male contender.

They might have one. 17-year-old and #1 ranked junior, Shang Juncheng, wins his first round match

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lets spend time pumping up some random aussie who has no hope... they need to stop saying the aussie here has some hope

Luckily by Thursday they have all lost except Kyrigos lol

Tony Jones and Roz Kelly- what a horrible hosting tag team. Surely C9 can get Loxley or Stanaway to anchor the coverage

Don’t mind Roz she knows her stuff but agree on Tony Jones he’s horrible

 

[Drummond]

Jack Draper doesn’t have much hurt factor in rallies IMO. Can’t see him taking a set, max one.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Rafa playing with some agression

Roz seems like a nice lady but she's sooooooo dull and awkward to boot. Yes, Jones is horrible- he's basically the devil incarnate as far as I'm concerned

Streaming Azarenka/Kenin on 9now. Good match so far, but what’s with the ad breaks? Missing heaps of points. Vikq holds for 5-3, and they go to an ad break so we miss the start of the next game. What the heck?

Probably will end up going onto Stan eventually hence why there making ads go in there to prepare people they will have to pay to not see ads

 

[Drummond]

Fruhvirtova with 3 break points to go up 6-5 but loses 9 of the next 10 points and now she trails a set. Definitely still in it but let that slip a bit.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Well, I was sort of right.

Nick kinda defaults(withdraw would be the correct word) before his first-round match with a knee injury. Ch.9 would be shattered.

Needs to go under the knife for surgery to remove a cyst

 

[AdelaideGT]

Kyrgios out with a knee injury

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Kyrgios out with a knee injury

Bloody hell

Time for the Demon to set up

 

[BobbyMorri]

0% chance of rain today....

starts to rain.

I am not sure whats the point of closing the roofs. It wont last nor will it stay on the court long under the heat

 

[Gigantic]

Bloody hell

Time for the Demon to set up

I give Kubler a better chance of making it further than De Minaur of the Aussies

Kubler has a potential Nadal 4th round if he makes it that far

De Minaur has Djokovic if he makes it there.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

The Joker must of over worked Kyrgios in the exhibition match

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Rafa getting spanked in the second set

 

[JackNah_8]

Surprised to hear Nick has pulled out, he looked ok last week.

 

[Redline]

Surprised to hear Nick has pulled out, he looked ok last week.

Huge loss for ratings. He was never going deep but they would of been hoping for a Saturday night match in round 3.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Kyrgios out with a knee injury

Scared of Novak since the draw came out was he lol

 

[matt_897]

You can say bye bye to record attendances with Nick pulling out.

No madness this year

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least we won’t have to watch Kokkanakis and Kyrigos every second day that’s a positive

Honestly GOOD

More people there for the tennis is a good thing

Be huge fir the sport. I think they are all too Cricket mad but would love to see Indian have some success in singles.

I think he would've struggled against Rune

Big loss for the AO and ch9 ratings
