Grand Slam - Day 9 - Australian Open

Day 8 and I am so happy that Kostyuk is now in the top 30. And she finally won a match under 3 sets. Coco looks very strong and it is shaping up to be a Coco v Sabe semi-final (which in all reality, is the actual final). Mens wise, the Greek God stopped, Mannerio went to the bakery and we are...

Tsitispas was and has been terrible this Open. That injury lay off really set him backwards. Error riddled, mentally weak, gave up when he was facing serve.


Good riddance.

This set is way better from Barbora, when she plays likes this she is so good to watch. Very fluent, lots of variety and quick up to the net. And yes she did just get passed.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On Iga maybe she needs to play doubles. Who would be a good doubles for her?

Sinakova imo. Anyone really.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hurkacz

Are you trying to hurt me lol

Less Hurkacz please

 

[JamisonRun40]

I thought of Sinakova as well even Barbora. Mertens would be a good partner as well.

Hopefully Cazaux beats him tomorrow but I doubt it.

Hopefully Cazaux beats him tomorrow but I doubt it.

Can both of them lose?

I love Sinakova as a doubles player

 

[JamisonRun40]

Well I hope Sinakova and Hunter win the title.

If Djokovic goes on to win the title, it will be one of his hardest runs to a slam title in a while. Fritz, then sinner and Alcaraz most likely.

A sinner/Djokovic vs Alcaraz final would be unreal.

 

[YeoShuey]

I would not be surprised if either Borges or Cazaux make the semi final.

Always seems to be some random making it to finals.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Good grief three minutes to go to the match of the day, my poor remote will be getting a workout.

 

[YeoShuey]

Predictions?

Rublev in 4-5 seems fair.

 

[Acinath]

A sinner/Djokovic vs Alcaraz final would be unreal.

But he's only played one day game, it doesn't count!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Alex in 4

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

And take Gasquet with them too.

All these old players need to give up already.

I actually thought Gasquet had already retired until I saw him playing the other day!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rublev in 3 to 4

 

[BobbyMorri]

People are a bit harsh on Mannarino

he played 3 5-setters before today. Of course, he had nothing left in the tank. He really shouldn't have beaten Shelton but he still did.

Honestly, the top top players always seem to thrash one player in a deep run. Novak hand't really done that yet.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That missed volley by ADM

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Come on Rublev

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Tough hold by the Russian

 

[Xtreme]

Rublev no flags

 

[YeoShuey]

LukeParkerno1 Weren’t you going to the game?

 

[Some Idiot]

That cross court forehand is a shot that ADM didn't have a couple of years ago

 

[Munich]

Come on Rublev

Is this because your don't want ADM to face Djok?
