Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Round 1

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

I don't think he was a wild card for this tournament. Nor a Qualifier.

Pretty sure they put one on RLA in Round 1 last year though. So it is possible.

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

Tommy Paul an unofficial Aussie with the outfit

It's not a true ground pass court anymore

I think he got his spot through the Protected Ranking category

So should he have played on more of a ground court where more of his fans could get in? Or on a bigger court like Rod Laver?

I was more annoyed at the one at the Alcaraz match who kept distracting him on serve.

Aiava saves two match points

 

[Cleavy]

Nick still has the doubles guys...

he'll be in the comm box for the rest of the AO instead

 

[Gibbsy]

Yes Destanee Aiava! First ever main draw slam win, at the sixth time of asking. A set and 5-2 down!

Even more satisfying after having won through qualifying.

 

[MJG14]

Destanee Aiava wins in three! Into the second round of a GS for the first time.

Tommy Paul plays a nice game

Not surprising. He looked a shell of his former self tonight, it was a bit of a shock that he ever came back.

He will play the doubles it’s less taxing on the body

He’s sympathy mining.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pretty bad from Paul today he’s invited O’Connell back into the match which is always dangerous

 

[Underarm]

Connells body had failed him in the last 2 games.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Qaulity set this between oconnel and paul

 

[yabsy]

O'connell hanging in there...Do we see a deciding match tiebreak
