Surprise surprise. Djokovic with another night match tomorrow with Alcaraz playing day

Guy has not a single night match the whole tournament where the conditions may be different.

I think Alcaraz prefers the day session?

I think Alcaraz prefers the day session?

He does, but that will go against him if he plays Djokovic the next round at night. Best to get that experience in now which he hasn't...

Australian Open Day 8

We are into the 2nd week of the Aus Open. We haven't had many upsets yet towards the main contenders, but many "dark horses' have been sunk. Danill, Stefo, Taylor, Zheng and Muchova have all departed Melbourne Park early.

Still, we are shaping up for a huge second week. Aussie hopes rest on Alex, whose draw has opened up just a little. The big issue is the ginger Italian as a quarter-final match-up.

Weather: Hot, Nortern Wind. 32C

Rod Laver Arena
Day Session

• (1) A. Sabalenka vs. (14) M. Andreeva
• (3) C. Gauff vs. B. Bencic
• (15) J. Draper vs. (3) C. Alcaraz

Night Session

• (7) N. Djokovic vs. (24) J. Lehecka
• A. Goransson/S. Verbeek vs. TBD

Margaret Court Arena
Day Session

• (3) S. Bolelli/A. Vavassori vs. P. Martinez/J. Munar
• (11) P. Badosa vs. O. Danilovic
• A. Davidovich Fokina vs. (12) T. Paul

---

John Cain Arena
Day Session

• (18) D. Vekic vs. (27) A. Pavlyuchenkova

Twilight Session

• (14) U. Humbert vs. (2) A. Zverev

Carlos should pick the bones of "Kei" Draper. This is the sort of match Novak wins by just walking to the court, such is his aura. Gauff has looked sharp so far, and Bencic might not have the long term match play needed to trouble her. Saying that, if Bencic finds her rhythm early, this could get interesting. Fokina and Paul could be fun.

Match of the Day
Geech, Sabalenka copped a terrible draw, didn’t she? She takes out one young gun and gets an even better one next round. Mirra Andreeva made the round of 16 last year as a 16-year-old, and she’s only improved since. A scary talent and a match that promises blistering ball-striking and all-out power from both players. Played in Brisbane 2 weeks ago. It was a easy win for Sab in 2. This time, for me, Sab wins in 3.

Is Collins the loud mouth Yank on after this Sinner match?

Hope the crowd give it to her! Arrogant cow she is.

Nice point by Shelton

That arrogant thing??

I doubt it and she is a flog and the Male version of Bernard Tomic personality wise.

She is a campaigner of a thing. Hope she is booed all night and then takes the crowd on again but wins so it all happens again! She brings it all on herself the self entitled piece of work she is.

Schdule is on the first post. The answer is yes.

And on that, I have updated it for tmws matches.

Kudos to Collins. A match between her and Keys should not be an RLA night. Great Heelwork. As a wrestling fun, I hope she is booked to win.

Glad she gave it to the brats in the crowd

Pam isn't happy with the scheduling

 

[JamisonRun40]

I agree with the scheduling for tomorrow's womens matches. Bad luck to Musetti, played an awful tb to give Shelton the match. Sorry Yeo, but one got through.

I guess at least it is the one I preferred to get through.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Svitolina looks fantastic in her outfit, red really suits her.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I'm tipping that the diminutive Italian Paolini gets done here.

 

[BobbyMorri]

It is the issue between Bo5 Sets and Bo3 Sets.

Unless you want late finishes for singles matches, then you gotta only have one. and Bo5 will always win out here. Of course, they could always play the night session earlier at say...6pm.

The French Open as the same issue, but worse as they only ever have the one match. The US doesn't care and just schedules 2 matches most of the time. And Wimbledon.....they dont have a might session. They also play more mens than women's on centre and have been criticized in the past

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

That is your Queen Collins

Glad she gave it to the brats in the crowd

Ugh I thought it said glad the brats in the crowd gave it to her lol

 

[YeoShuey]

I really like Shelton's outfit. Solid choice.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

You will bow down to the Queen.

Fireworks tonight looking forward to it

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Yeah the more colour the better. Hate plain n boring outfits that’s why I’m like why did Rune just go with the White even though the shorts have a pattern but I’m not in favour of patterns, (have a pattern phobia).

I don't like Rune's outfit. Too plain and the shorts are usually shorter I think

Giron wearing a good one too, but just too plain. Has the right idea though.

This would make sense if it was anyone other than Djoker. Also no reason why Gauff's game needs to be before Alcaraz.

How do I find out who is commentating the matches on 9now?

My brother found this website the other day when he was trying to find out who a commentator was for one of the matches.
