Australian Open 2022 [Men] - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

I do not like t/breaks for the final set.

It's like in football, no one likes a shoot-out. But the other option is they play until they die, and that's no good, either.

 

[Moxie]

9-5 Berrettini!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The youngster making too many UFE
Glares at my hubby who is still cheering on Carlos

Shame to lose it on a df, but valiant match from Carlos. A lot of the commies said that Matteo would win it on experience, but the youngster put it off for a long time.

Sorry I do not like t.breaks both players played well enough to make it to a 5th set and they should play to an advantage like the good old days...remember I am an dinosaur

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done to Carlos the teenager has soo much game,but his mentality will get him further.Well done!

Matteo I suggest after this match go and look at this game,it will give you the answers,what you missed in your overall game

Carlos isn’t that far along. The way he is improving Berrettini and the rest of the top 10 are going to hate seeing him on their side of the draw. He’ll get better and take out Matteo next time.

But then you have nothing left for the next match. Something has to give.

That was some match. I thought Kyrgios v Medvedev was entertaining, but this one had the drama, including of a young player announcing his presence on the big stage. Brad Gilbert says Alcaraz himself will be top 10 by the end of the year. We shall see, but no one is going to be keen to play him.

I don’t know about top 10 it will depend on the rest of his year, but he has the goods to make a run at a Masters 1000 or even a slam. I could see him going far at Miami or even winning it with the right draw.

yeah he became tentative for the most part, especially with the 4-4 game in that third set.

 

[Vince Evert]

Who's Matt got next in the fourth round, is that right?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am certain he will learn from this,he has game and also he is mature beyond his years

awaiting the winner of Korda v Carreño Busta, which is in the 4th set now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

It looks like Matteo will play another Spainard In Busta

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oi,Oi,Oi, Thanasi and Nick K have defeated the No 1 seeds in doiubles Mektic/Pavic 76 63

That has just made my night before I head off to work.!

 

[Moxie]

I got this for you: Matteo wins, Barty wins, Rafa wins. All good.

@MargaretMcAleer : So far, I have not let you down. I didn't promise they'd be easy.
