Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Match Day Thread

[Some Idiot]

I want Fearnley to win because I feel bad.

A young guy getting thrown into a cesspit of flogs and campaigners like that.

Garbage, elite sportsman need to deal with pressure, it's what makes players like Djokovic so great

Hmmm. You mentioned Djokovic, but will we see Zverev or Djokovic playing in this arena if they were facing Kyrgios?

I can assure you that they would need and that they don't deal with this sort of pressure.

heck off Nick and take your stain fans with you.
See you next year campaigner

 

[Hawks1523]

Cya Nick, ya campaigner.

Thank god for that!!

Disgraceful they still have him playing in that arena where the flogs can gather.

Kyrgios out in round 1, poetic justice just like farting and leaving something behind

Channel 9 now in all sorts because the Kyrgios hype machine went up in smoke

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Well done Fearnley.

Top effort especially having the crowd against you. Absorbed the pressure well.

 

[Mr Meow]

Unsurprising result given the lack of preparation.

If he still has the want for it, Nick needs to have a run in of tournaments and proper match conditioning before his next grand slam.

"In all sorts"? Plenty of Aussies won today.

Cya Nick, ya campaigner.

 

[RAPPA]

Kyrgios and Tsitsipas bundled out in the first round. AO will hope the Kokk goes deep to keep the Greek fans going.

Maybe so but they don't have the marketability as the now non Special K

 

[Mr Meow]

Maybe so but they don't have the marketability as the now non Special K

Oh well, they probably still get to play.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Fearnley will lose the next round played a cooked Nick who hasn't played in 2 years

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

9 with the excuses as soon as they're back from break

 

[YeoShuey]

Fearnley will lose the next round played a cooked Nick who hasn't played in 2 years

I wouldn't be confident in that.

Not much separating them in terms of ranking.

If you are out on the court you can't use injury as an excuse - injured DON'T PLAY!

 

[ImCheatingToWin]

He did his job and the tennis world as a whole a favour. Could retire and get a knighthood already

 

[BobbyMorri]

Nick still has the doubles guys...

 

[Gibbsy]

The supposed fans we have here are really the worst. So embarrassing

I've been reminiscing the past week or so how good the 2021 / 2022 AOs were from a tennis purist point of view as a spectator. We'll never see the likes of it again, it was like an old school grand slam.

Obviously the circumstances behind it were awful but having zero queues, very few yobbos and a pure tennis focus with little to no hospitality extras was a breath of fresh air (although not literally at the time)

 

[NSWCROW]

Chris o'Connell CARMON !

 

[BobbyMorri]

This Chris o Connell match has 5 set epic written all over it.....

Doubles participation not a given with Kokk's injury concerns

Thank god for that!!

Where else would you stick a wild card but on a ground pass court?
