Australian Open 2022 [Men] - Grand Slam

[Vince Evert]

Turn to Nine Gem I think the Special K's are playing live in the doubles if you want to watch

Even in doubles, there is some players that stopped the serve-volley artistry these days.

Good first set from Shapovalov. Let’s see if he can that for 2 more sets.

As for Zverev, he only missed 4 1st serves but he did not win a single 2nd serve point, not gonna get done like that.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

hey Margaret, the way he clinched the first set, taking the time away from his opponent, with forehand volley winner was good to see. He should do more of it.

Well you can join his coaching group,there is room for another voice.

They dont teach volleys to juniors these days,they have to learn later sad to say

 

[Vince Evert]

We have had many versions of this conversation. I'd say let's have it again, after this Major, but do stay around for it!

Mox , keeping in mind i never saw young Carlos before friday, but i felt this guy has a game that does lend itself to attacking tennis. It would be good to see if he can develop it next two years.

LOL , Nadal has years of experience and through instict knows when he can implement these surprise tactics, i'm sure.

 

[Vince Evert]

You watch, Nadal will run away with this now.

I dont know sometimes.....lol!

I think it is happening.

In the other match, Shapo won the first set, and broke in the first game of the second. And Zverev destroyed his racquet.

I understand that. But there's no reason why they can't adopt more of the topspin volley like what Nadal hit on set-point as a element of surprise.

Mannarino is looking injured. I’m wondering if he’s going to retire.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Racket smash from Sasha who gets broken early in the 2nd set....

Agree, you should always have a element of surprise in your bag of tricks

 

[Vince Evert]

Margaret i reckon Channel 9, this years tennis coverage is over-produced. Too many talking heads , too many plugs on TV shows like that dreadful "Married at First Sight" series.

 

[Moxie]

Mannarino is looking injured. I’m wondering if he’s going to retire.

I think so, too. I'm not sure he'll last until the 3rd.

 

[tented]

I think so, too. I'm not sure he'll last until the 3rd.

I think he called for the trainer.

 

[rafanoy1992]

If Shapovalov wins this match, I will give him full credit because it means he has matured in sort of way. But long way to go…

Agree, I like the fact Darren Cahill has been doing commentary for Channel Nine at times,a former SA Boy,half the time I dont recognise the commentators at this year's AO

There is one british female i don't know her name, who speaks in a soft gentle voice which i like. It ain't Sam Smith that's for sure.
