2019 Australian Open, Melbourne - ATP GRAND SLAM

[Moxie]

Ralph is facing Aussie after Aussie.


After Duckworth, he gets Ebden. After that potentially D-Minor.

Your hard-on for someone to beat Rafa, tournament after tournament, is rather poignant in its obvious anxiety. But couldn't you just stick to promoting Roger, and leave off crying for Rafa to lose?

Who said anything about losing and winning? It was just a statement of an interesting fact.

Your penchant for imagining insult when there is none is amazing.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Just finished watching highlights of Fed's 1R match (did not get to watch it live). TMF seems to be in full form. He is moving well and had lots of backhand winners. Hope, he keeps it up.

Your ability to pretend that you don't troll Nadal potential losses is also funny, as it's transparent.

 

[herios]

Very good performance by Milos. He beats Nick Kyrgios in 3 sets.
6-4, 7-6, 6-4.

 

[DarthFed]

So much complaining about what it takes players to get there. Nice to bitch from the barcalounger, right?

Some people don't like peasants screaming on court, especially if it is well after they hit the ball in an attempt to distract the opponent.

[kskate2]

I can't believe they're still out there. When I posted the new schedule for tomorrow, Domi was up 2 sets

 

[kskate2]

It finally ends around 2:10 am.

 

[Carol]

This year doesn’t look the heat so brutal like last year which is fantastic for all the players when their turn to play is at day time

 

[DarthFed]

Most of Roger's game is looking good but the return is ghastly. He needs to be way more aggressive on the 2nd serve return if he is planning on winning anything of note again.

 

[DarthFed]

Embarrassing stuff from Roger in the TB

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Unbelievable that Roger had to struggle so much to win a set against a druggie qualifier.

On many shots, I noticed that Roger is not even trying to run to them. Hope he is ok.

 

[Moxie]

How is he a druggie?

 

[Moxie]

PS...just caught the tail end of the first. Roger was lucky to get out of it.

 

[Moxie]

Some people don't like peasants screaming on court, especially if it is well after they hit the ball in an attempt to distract the opponent.

This has nothing to do with the conversation we were having. BTW.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

How is he a druggie?

No, he is not on PEDs. But, it is well known that he was on cocaine and his career went down. Now he is redeeming himself and took responsibility.

Well, that's a totally different issue. Would have been worth explaining.

 

[Moxie]

Excellent win for Tiafoe!!

 

[DarthFed]

PS...just caught the tail end of the first. Roger was lucky to get out of it.

Hardly, he gagged on every chance he had to win before the TB. Now he is choking the second set away.
