Enough De Minaur. Every year this guy gets talked up and comes up very short when up against a decent opponent.Sick to death of him.

Harsh to blame Alex when it's standard practice for the Australian sports media to over hype our players.

Alex was never a chance of winning a grand slam but he is still an excellent player regardless.

 

[smasha]

Imagine thinking he was a chance lol

Everything Alex can do Sinner does 100 times better

lol ,nowhere near 100 times better mate.
But he is the number 1.

LMAO,can someone hand out the clown suits.

That’s basically what I feel about Kyrgios.

Alex lives up to expectations IMO.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Were tickets more expensive tonight or yesterday night?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

He's playing like shit

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Sob

Same it’s QF

You’d feel ripped off

 

[Acinath]

Alex gets absolutely everything out of himself and his #8 in the world for a reason, but he just doesn’t have the weapons to damage some of these blokes.

Reminds me a lot of David Ferrer, worked his ass off always but just couldn’t beat the big guns

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He's playing like shit

Need a plan b,c and d

 

[NeutralFan]

ADM is one of the more consistent players, feel like he never bows out early in tournaments and is rightfully placed where he is.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

You’d feel ripped off

YOU might, plenty of others wouldn’t.

 

[largebus]

Feel like Alex will only get a slam if the higher ranked guys all have injuries or off days, unless he reinvents himself mid career like Wawrinka.

Sinner is just on another level, sadly

Needs to send Hewitt to the curb as an advisor coach whatever. He is trying to keep him not missing

 

[YeoShuey]

GOAT!

 

[Mr Meow]

Sinner is just so so good.

A joy to watch.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

The talent from 1-8 is significantly different except Novak at 7 but is the reason he’s so high for a reason? Like was he not playing…can’t figure that out…

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Penelope Cruz still is hot

 

[Cyber_punk]

Enough De Minaur. Every year this guy gets talked up and comes up very short when up against a decent opponent.Sick to death of him.

He's just one of those 'good but not Grand slam-winner-good' players.

Despite the media pump up he was never going to trouble Sinner tonight.

Basically only played GS or Masters

 

[Roos92]

Sinner simply too good. When the next gen of young players improve- tien, fonseca etc deminaur will be around rank 20-30 which is about right for him. Cerundolo who he struggled against is a more equal match for him.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Makes sense then. After last night he’s at no.1 imo…

 

[Saint12]

Enough De Minaur. Every year this guy gets talked up and comes up very short when up against a decent opponent.Sick to death of him.

is it time to call him a Spaniard yet?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

The pile on Alex is a bit over the top. He always gives it his all, in the quarters in his home slam & he's number 8 in the world.

He's not hopeless nor is he embarrassing.

He's playing the best player in the world. Who typically beats everyone he plays.

Night Session

Women Semi Final (Start 7:30pm)

• (1) A. Sabalenka vs. (11) P. Badosa (ESP)
• (19) M. Keys (USA) vs. (2) I. Swiatek (POL)

Keys and Sab for me. This post might update

 

[Coasters7]

This is his ceiling. Dont think he’ll ever win a title. All the better blokes are taller and more powerful and have more strings to their bows
