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

[Sinner]

Yeah, I think it started early 2023 or late 2022.
I'm not a fan cuz I always liked the idea that players are out there on their own... let them figure it out.
But I guess coaches will always work out codes and whatnot to get their tips across. Oh well.

But 35 year-old Mannarino with the result of the day! And in 5!

Mannarino aging like fine wine, he was never this good in his 20s.

 

[eracism]

timofeeva thicc! russian women having a good slam thus far.

 

[frink85]

I was pulling for Shelton because ‘murica but he needed to chill a lot of shots hit long. Long career ahead of him though.

 

[Sinner]

Gutted for Jerry. It's tough enough to play Carlos without any injuries!
But the kid's had a great few weeks... and he's only 18. Takes time to get used to life on the pro-tour.

Hope Vika can make the most of her run. Been playing well.
WTH is up with Grigor tho???

 

[Sinner]

Noskova!

 

[whtascene]

Can't see beyond Sabalenka or Gauff winning this.

Shame Rybakina couldn't get it across the line with Blinkova, not surprised that after the match of her life Blinkova fell short.

Dodin is on a nice surprising run.

Disappointing performance from Dimitrov after a good start to the year.

Wooow just saw Dimitrov lost

 

[thadangerousmind]

Fell asleep and Swiatek caught the fade.

 

[Sinner]

Taylor...

 

[Sinner]

Intriguing battle between Roob and Demon.

 

[whtascene]

Rublev's shot making in the 5th was superb, his inside in forehand was so good.

 

[Sinner]

He really found his 2nd wind, while Demon just had nothing.
Things certainly got interesting when Roob started cramping tho!

[frink85]

Coco lost her fastball

 

[Sinner]

I just tuned in, thinking this was over... only to see Coco all over the place.

 

[frink85]

both of these dudes painting the corners this game, great shots

 

[Sinner]

Novak gifted that early break, but has had soooo many BPs since then. Fritz just finding the big shots on BP.

 

[whtascene]

Aryna v Coco would have been the perfect final for the tournament.

Winner should go on to win it all.

 

[Sinner]

I have been sensational, if I do say so myself. #Sinsational

 

[Sinner]

Zheng Qinwen LFG!

Carlos tho.

 

[703 hwy]

Nooooo Zverev is gonna win

 

[Sinner]

Did not see this result coming.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Good thing time is on Carlos’ side. Hopefully he can figure things out.

Hats off to Zverev, he played excellent.

 

[whtascene]

Believe Meddy will take care of Zverev the next round.
