The Official Tennis Thread (Vol. Aus Open 2018)

Good for her , shake off the legal stuff

 

I saw some chatter about his last few matches... kid's having one helluva run. Watched the end of his match vs Paire and he looked impressive.

This morning's match is a perfect example of what I mean. They were on serve through the first 8 games and he ends up facing a break in the 9th, and instead of taking the easy cross-court forehand winner, he bypasses it for a shot down the line that he misses. Paire ends up serving out the set with ease.

More times than not, you see players unable to recover from this, and they usually end up dropping the second set, but he responds with consecutive 6-1 sets.

 

Caught the 3rd set of that final. The kid was down 2 breaks, but was still able to get back on serve. Medvedev was just a bit more solid towards the end, but the kid did well to come back. Impressive.

Third set was so much fun. Major props to Medvedev. That was a tough spot to get a win out of.

 

American ladies are dropping like flies. CoCo just went down in straight sets.

 

NikeCourt stuff...

I know nike likes to give everyone the same color scheme for slams but a second color combo option would’ve been a nice break from all that pink.

 

Different shade of pink.

The only thing I hate about AO is that I miss the AO. lol.

Check that. Looked at the sched and looks like I can watch the Nadal Mayer match tonight.

 

Wow, Wozniacki was down 5-1, 40-15 in the third set, receiving serve... Came back to win six games in a row and win it 7-5. Insane.
