Australian Open 2022 [Men] - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

That got to 3-0 quickly. Honestly, I don't think this is going 4.

Well Zverev needs to grow some brass ones now. Of all the young bucks , for all his talent he can get the “ deer in the headlights” look when things start to unravel quicker than anyone else.

Honest;y I am Over The Hype with Sasha period...he is a Mental Midget...havent we seen this before with him
Final of the USO...ring a bell!
Talent? my foot...80% of today's game is mental to start with.

There is no excuse for this, if he wants to be a Major winner. His nerve doesn't match his ambition.

Shapo one game away. Who'd a thunk it?

Please we have all seen this script before at GS level with Sasha I am not suprised
I mean he has not beaten a Top ten player at GS level,and he is supposed to be the World No 3?

 

[Moxie]

Classic Denis the Menace overhit.

 

[tented]

Shapo wins!!

EDIT: I thought for sure he wasn’t going to be able to serve that out.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

My boy did it in straight sets! I’m so happy!

 

[Moxie]

Color me astonished. I thought he might get the upset but that in 5.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Shapo a well deserved win!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I wish it did go to 5 with Dennis winning of course

I definitely thought he could win, but I definitely didn’t think it would be in straight sets. He has to cut down on those double faults if he is serious about contending. He gave away close to 3 games worth of points just in double faults.

And Zverev still can’t capitalize on Shapo’s sloppiness.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Although Zverev is supposed to be the #3 in the world and couldn’t capitalize on close to 3 games worth of double faults. Yay! My guy made his first QF of Australia. I hope he can win a big title this year a Masters or a Slam. I’d love to see him take Wimbledon or the US Open.

He plays with not so much margin, but that's part of what makes him thrilling to watch (and sometimes painful.) To me, the more interesting player came through, but I'm still shocked it was in 3. Zverev, who was cruising through the tournament, suddenly had no answers. He is a sorry spectacle, I have to say.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Just like that, the highest seed in the top half is none other…Rafael Nadal!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oi,Oi,Oi, Aussie WC Special K's ( thanansi and Nick K) have defeated the 15th seeds 64 46 64...Behar/Eescobar.

Just woke up to see the result. His cohones still remain with big FRAGILE sign on 'em. Disappointing.

I think he passed "disappointing" a long time ago.
