Australian Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

I'm predicting a big breakthrough for Sinner. I don't know about a Slam title (yet), but I'd be surprised if he didn't bag at least one Masters this year, and I think he's the type of player who will go deep in most Slams.

I still havent gotton over last year's s/final at the USO when he had MP? still a good learning curve and he has a great coach in Cahill, so I am happy on all fronts

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well I hope so. Rublev has been one of my favorite Next Genners since i first saw him play, six years ago or so. He's fun to watch.

He is a player I have not seen live, but hope too, I know you like him

McDonald could break here, then serve it out.

 

[El Dude]

Or not. McKenzie's got a bit of limp dick.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play is underway on the outside courts.....seriously

 

[tented]

McDonald could break here, then serve it out.

Or Rafa could hold, then break to win the set.

Remember: he won a set with a bad back against Wawrinka.

I dont know how he did that, I was there live

McKenzie has to win this in three, imo, otherwise Rafa will dig deep (like he is now) and find a way to pull it off. Hard imagining him fighting through two more sets, but he can always get more of whatever his trainers gave him.

And no, I'm not suggesting anything suspicious!

 

[El Dude]

That was a weird point to win the game - you don't see many players let a ball drop on the line like that.

That was a lot about Wawrinka, which is why I think a healthy Nadal had a good chance to win that match.

 

[the AntiPusher]

The good news is that Nadal's serve pct is up.

Come on antiinflammatories kick ASAP. Delay the repayment to the dark angel of pain

I never would have thought that with you.

Edit: seriously, I was giving you credit for not suggesting anything suspicious.

 

[El Dude]

Oh well. I was kind of rooting for Rafa. I think the antiflams kicked in, AntiPusher, but he re-hurt himself. He seems like he's in more pain again and is limping now. Or maybe that's just an Agassi impression.

Of course Rafa did, Wawrinaka had not take a set off Rafa in 12 previous matches

This is sad to watch quite frankly

 

[El Dude]

The dude is a warrior, that's for sure.

Yeah he likes to see him loose jajaja

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

As a tennis fan regardless if you like a player or not, watching someone limping around a tennis court, is not a pretty sight

 

[El Dude]

Well, that's that. Hopefully Rafa can get healthy for a strong clay run.
