Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Round 1+2

I didn't place any expectations on how this match will go other than that Sinner will win (which I am not sure about at the moment).

Asking a question like that does not imply expectations. I'll try to be clearer next time so people don't get confused and all sensitive about it

Okay.

I was only playfully pointing out the match has been competitive beyond expectation. Wasn't trying to cause a meltdown.

 

[Underarm]

He's playing fantastic. But the stamina for 4+ sets is doubtful. Love to be wrong though

Won't need 4.

Won't need 4.

It's comments like this that I love to see.

Especially when Sinner just broke him.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Fonseca 7 3 1 6 3
Sonego 6 6 6 3 5

Sonego gets the break. Serving for the match.

Sinner in 4 is still more likely than even Skoolkate in 4.

Loving how the Aussie has played but Sinner is turning the screw now and has way more levels to go to.

Maybe I was reading his comment wrong but "won't need 4" sounds like he was expecting Schoolkate in straight sets? Great confidence if so

Rune and Berrettini tb has been fantastic. Berrettin needs to win it to take it into a fifth set. Forza Berrettini

Fonseca hanging on by a thread lol not this thread but a thread

 

[YeoShuey]

SONEGO!!!! FORZA FORZA!!

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Sonego wins lol boooo

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Sonego wins. 6-3 in the final set.

Great atmosphere on 1573.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Well that was an anticlimax with Holger Rune winning in four sets. Rune had no theatrics.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dosent look Aussie Schoolkate

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Disappointing the fairytale couldn't continue for Fonseca, but some great clutch moments from Sonego.

Fonseca has a very bright future ahead of him.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Holger won woohoo!!!!

 

[YeoShuey]

RUNE!!!!!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Sonego wins. 6-3 in the final set.

Great atmosphere on 1573.

FORZA ITALIA

 

[JamisonRun40]

Rublev won't be happy getting beaten in three sets then Fonseca losing to Sonego, sometimes its not your day.

 

[YeoShuey]

Holger won woohoo!!!!

Both my ideal results.

Sonego and Rune. Fantastic.

LOoks like it might be Dutch origin? Mainly found in Europe anyway. Very unusual name.

I came to the same conclusion. I think an anglicised version of a Dutch name.

(Glad I'm not the only weirdo that delves into the origins of unusual names ).

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Cmon Aiava wipe Collins off the court

 

[YeoShuey]

Sinner wins the second.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Schoolkate will lose in 4 now

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

I’m not watching as I knew the momentum wouldn’t last and I’m angry with Sinner atm after all him and Swiatek shouldn’t be playing their penalties were worse than Purcell and he’s not aloud to play so unfair

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'm watching Destanee v Collins the crowd again is very boisterous will be interesting to see how Collins deals with it.
