2016 Australian Open match discussions

Yeah, I was rooting for Kyrgios… he is an entertainer. Maybe showed his lack of experience in that last game. Berdych prevails and moves into Week 2.

He has a few issues technically.   And while he is quick, his footwork is lazy.  His attitude is the worst thing about him, and that isn't going to change anytime soon.  He embraces his persona far too tightly.

So Roger now has 300 grand slam wins.  

Old guy adding more milestones to his already storied career.  Fantastic.

Seppi played really well after that first set, gave Nole all he could handle.  Too bad it had to be in round 3.

 

[Billie]

And Viktor is probably going to be done and dusted in 3 sets.  Raonic is serving really well.

LOL and as soon as I give up, Viktor breaks Raonic for the first time, at the beginning of set #3.  At least he is fighting.

Lopez took the 1st set 7:6, might see a few of tiebreakers in this one.

 

[Billie]

And with an ace Isner takes set #2 in TB.

Lopez has some serious skills at the net.

 

[britbox]

I want Lopez to go through. Not a fan of Isner.

Well Isner takes set #3, so he needs just one more.  I was watching Wawrinka and Rosol so I missed most of that 3rd set so it is surprise to me that Isner won it easily.

Feli is also playing doubles, the previous match right after to play more than 4 hours against Pella, he played the doubles and won so probably today is going to play after this match again

Murray dropped a set, but should be able to take care of business in four.

 

[Denis]

Enjoying Souzas play. Everything he does, he does quite well.

edit: backhand is not the best shot.

Murray advances in four.

Happy that Muzza qualified, his father in law felt dizzy (probably the heat ??) they drove him to the hospital, hope it's not serious, he's going to be a grandpa very soon, Kim needs him

Good job by Murray in the circumstances. (His father-in-law needed immediate medical attention).

Caught the last set of Tomic - Millman match. Bernie plays very well.

 

[Billie]

I was watching Stan a little bit last night before going to sleep, man that outfit is very bright

 

Andy marches on, but I am glad that Sousa took a set off of him, he was working hard on his game and hopefully can get better.

I was able to see the end of the Tomic match, he got through as well, seems to be playing OK.

Tsonga waking up and fighting for this first set.

Tsonga waking up and fighting for this first set.

Kei in three.

Djokovic is playing Simon, and unless Novak has an off day, this will be a quick three as well.

 

[britbox]

I can't see Simon getting a set. He doesn't have the weapons to hurt Novak.

 

[britbox]

Djoker broken back by Gilles.

Well, judging from the first set....1 hour 6:3 set.

Being tennis smart as he is, imagine if he had a bit of physical power like some of his French co-patriots?
