They obviously aren’t willing to risk Djokovic in the heat in the middle of the day against a top seed like last year.

Going to have to put the kettle on otherwise you'll fall asleep before Novak finishes bouncing the ball

Yep, can't have him lose

Wonder what the line is for medical timeouts taken? +/- 1.5?

 

[Mr Meow]

Great start Demon.

Alcarez is still a fairly comfortable favourite to win (that doesn't guarantee anything of course).

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Phil Michelson looks rubbish out there

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Great start Demon.

Looks switched on lets hope he can maintain it

Odds are wrong on this one imo. Night match puts Djokovic as the favourite. Tony Jones enraging him makes him unstoppable imo.

Choker if not

Fair enough.

I just hope it's a classic match.

I don't have much confidence in that either. I'm thinking straight sets.

Lost to Zverev in the same conditions last year and he is way worse.

 

[Visions]

In the day Alcaraz wins pretty easy.

Night game gives Djokovic more of a chance but still thinks Alcaraz wins.

To be expected. Oz open scheduling always favoured Federer in his later years, they were always going to do the same with Djokovic.

3-0

Loving this start keep it going demon don't let up

If Djoker wins in straight sets, you will look like a genius - I'll give you that. I think it'll be much closer.

Gosh Kasatkina has one of the worse serves in the women's game. IDK how she is in the top 10.

 

[Mr Meow]

Michelsen struggling here. ADM exposing him so far.

I like her and she's hot

 

[Mr Meow]

Oh, I guess top 10 makes sense then.

 

[Stan Van Gundy]

Michelsen just can't move well enough. This will be over very quickly.

 

[Romeoh1]

Navarro and kasatkina -a good contest and happily for me, barely a fist pump in sight!

 

[YeoShuey]

I'm just looking back at matches.

I thought Machac would have beaten him, but in day conditions. Got destroyed in night. Same with Lehecka.

Now Alcaraz will probably be the same.

So you're telling us all a story about the Djoker and the thief in the night?

Machac and Lehecka are not in the same class as Alcaraz. Not by a long shot. You're dreaming if you think Novak will win in straight sets.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

This the best I've seen demon play all tournament

 

[carlton_99]

McEnroe sounds like he's going to fall asleep
