The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. 2024 Oz Open Nadal Out)

Dimitrov mi******** a lot of balls early, especially on his return. Monfils cooking on his serve to steal the first set. Grigor needs to break Gael's rhythm and momentum. Still predicting Dimitrov in four or five sets.

Nole in four sets, Nishikori in five upsetting Stan. Backhand exchanges will be legendary.

From this angle she's cute.
I'd smash quicker than a Raonic serve.

Her singing last night was cringeworthy.
Redfoo taught her nothing.

Peng was clinical... very happy for her.

And now... for the main event... 
Surgical, light work.
 
Forgot to mention this, but I wonder if Grigor's double-Swoosh sock setup (2 pairs obvs) will catch on... LOL.

Indifferent... 

But that was more on what Gael was doing... losing his mind right now. 
 
^ Where do you live?  Didn't know it was even a thing!  LOL.

This tiebreak, meanwhile.........

What a trainwreck of a TB.   Grigor should have taken that with ease... Gael just pushed everything back on those last few points... Grigor took the bait...

Ebb and flow. Monfils gives away the second set, Dimitrov returns the favor.

Last night Nishikori showed me something with resolve and digging deep, now Gael is if he can finish the match off without imploding.

Is it just me or is Grigor mi********, over-hitting a lot of forehands? Heat/humidity, wind, other conditions. I don't know, but he's alarmingly inaccurate through two sets.
 
Yeah, def.  Overhitting his FH... and a few on sitters by Gael.  A few BH's are just going into the net.  

Now Gael is hunched over... looking like he's sick...

Dimitrov coming forward to the net, shortening rallies/points.
