Australian Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

[tented]

Also meaning that The Young Greek and the Protected Species are the only 2 players that can now be the No 1 player if they can win the final

Novak is playing Couacaud tonight.

​

When in doubt, add a "u." OMG, I never heard of that guy.

 

[tented]

Ruud‘s attitude and body language are awful. He‘s broadcasting it to his opponent, and putting himself in a shame spiral. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy now.

 

[tented]

And he’s letting Brooksby dictate the points even on his own serve. He doesn’t seem to know where to go or what to do.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ruud is running out of time and quite frankly I cannot see him coming back, Brooskby 4-2 3rd set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am banning Casper Ruud and Rafa Nadal ever going on another exhibition tour again !

 

[Moxie]

Aussies will be remaining this slam USO No 2 lol!

I see Fritz v. Popyrin going on so direct confrontation! Game on, Margaret!

3 MPs saved and back on serve

 

[tented]

Whoa, what a game! 3 MPs saved.

 

[Moxie]

Uh oh...MPs to Brooksby, but Ruud breaks. Can he climb the mountain all the way back? I don't know about Brooksby's fitness for the long-haul.

I was wondering the same. I can’t figure out if he’s about to cramp, with the way he has bent over after some long points.

 

[Moxie]

That Brooksby BH is a thing of beauty.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I feel if this 3rd set goes to a t/break I favor Brooksby he is kind of 'old school' though it has worked against Ruud so far

 

[tented]

Will Ruud hold now?

US Fritz, in his summer whites, wins the first set over Aussie Popyrin. (@MargaretMcAleer)

 

[tented]

Brooksby looks emotionally and physically spent. If Ruud can pull off this TB, he’ll win.

Gave young Alexi a bit of a lesson in the t/break

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Andrey Rublev, not only has the best hair in tennis, he now wears his own clothing line....take that Nike!, he is into the 3rd round with a 4 set win over the man who has the most vowels in tennis Ruucuvuori

 

[tented]

5-1 to Ruud at the changeover.

It really feels like that. You'd say, "long way to go," but Brooksby looks like he's used up the tank.
