Grand Slam Day 7 - Australian Open 2024

[YeoShuey]

Even though he first has to get past Rublev and an in form Sinner who he is 0-6 against lol

He was like 1-5 against Zverev until a few weeks ago as well. Records are made to be broken. Just like Novak’s 43 match Australian win streak.

Rublev will be a good matchup for him.

Basically our final hope of stopping Djokovic.

I think a certain No.2, 3 & 4 seed might disagree with that.

Just on the AO and their bars, I don't drink out of plastic, can't stand it and I hate Aperol Spritz.

So you don't drink at any sporting event?

Do you like beer? CC?

That's all I drink there (CC).

No 2 will likely lose to Zverev in a few days so that won’t be a problem.

No 4 will likely lose as soon as he gets a night match and conditions are different to the day matches he has played all tournament.

Alcaraz would be the only other one imo to have a chance at beating Novak…

Not if I have to drink out of plastic, I hate even go to bars and they give you plastic, I refuse to drink there.
Loving the reaction from Michelsen.

 

[Munich]

Lol some shot that.

I get the not liking plastic but I mean, every sporting event in the world serves you booze in plastic if you wanna sit in the stand. Unless they have cans.

Also you could get cans at the Oz open

Zverev's got a battle on his hands with an unseeded opponent as we speak lol

Are you talking to me? I don’t drink beer I like cocktails and spirits and sometimes Cider

 

[JamisonRun40]

I would just take my own drinking vessel and pour the drink into that.

Alcaraz would be the only other one imo to have a chance at beating Novak…

I have a feeling he won’t even make the final.

He will lose to Zverev or Medvedev who has had the second easiest run of the top 4 seeds.

Good. I hope he loses. Gives Alcaraz more chance to make the final fresh.

 

[JamisonRun40]

C4C that's exactly what I like to drink, especially G&Ts.

I dunno I reckon he’s playing well but we’ll see lol

I like Illusions and Billson’s Vodka is my new fav…

Cider I get from a local brewery too…

Maybe. Zverev beating him in the H2H is very concerning. Then there is Medvedev who is a tough player to matchup against.

He had an early finish today which is good.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Tried Gin and Raspberry the other week and thought it tasted weird but good at the same time lol would probably drink again though

 

[BobbyMorri]

I'm not sure why it's an issue though. It's what the AO is designed for and it does it well. There was good crowds at the United Cup/Brisbane from what I saw this year, not sure about numbers though.

I will add on this v.good post.

There were crowd records for the lead-up events. Sold out crowds in Perth and Brisbane.

Hobart was a fantastic little event. They made it similar to the Aus Open, with outdoor seating and a big screen with 6 food vans. It was a great environment and I found myself hanging out there with my non-tennis-loving friends.. There was also a "Hobart tennis member club" corporate/rich person bar overlooking the 2nd court. THey a record crowd for the final(1.2K IIRC) and throughout the tournament.

Tennis dominates the TV ratings, non-stop, for these 2 weeks. A domination not seen by any other sport outside the Olympics. And I mean, every day of the week, day and night, not just the weekend like our 2 winter sports do. Nine doesn't want the cricket back, they are happy with the tennis and the promotions they run non-stop during the telecast.

 

[JamisonRun40]

over 93K people through the gates, that is a lot of people. Queues would be unbearable long to get anything to eat, drink or get into see a match.

 

[YeoShuey]

Zverev comfortably now.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Can’t believe the tennis will finish at a decent time lol
