Australian Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

I know it is still a long shot but if Murray beats Kokkinakis, the highest seed he could face till the QF seems to be Bautista Agut.

And RBA would likely have Muzz for lunch

Wowser what a passing fhand shot from the young Aussie Alexi his 1st BP.....Fritz you didnt have to serve a Ace okay
Another BP chance He Does It and breaks leading 2-1 in the 3rd set and he consolidates and leads 3-1, 3rd set, wins the 3rd set 64, really hitting his spots with his serve
Oi Oi Oi Alexei 2 sets to 1 over Fritz
Trainer out for Fritz, a problem with his right lower leg. (ankle().he is now receiving a MTO
Alexei with 3 UFE in a row, Brain Freezes, Fritz breaks and will serve for the 4th set 5-3
Alexei used his brain for a change and breaks straight back, back on serve in the 4th set
5 games all 4th set, Alexei will serve to force a t/break for the 4th set
6 games all, t/break for 4th set will commence
Too many UFE at crucial times in the t/break from Alexi, Fritz wins 76 (6)
2 sets all.... commencing 5th set now

My draw is now shot to bits!!!!!!!

I've noticed a trend this year. Just about everyone who played the week immediately before Aus and either won or was a finalist is already gone.

I have never been in favor of a player competing in a major a week before it starts., you could possibly pick up an injury, also having the week off to practice before a major, is where you can practice more to maybe fine tune things in your game, that is needed, also you arrive fresher, than coming straight from a tournament, with maybe one day to recover.

Meanwhile, Holger Rune wins again. Dude is legit. I think in a couple years, the top four players on tour will be (in some order): Alcaraz, FAA, Rune, and Sinner.

De Minaur (22) looked down and out against Mannarino - 2 sets and a break down, but breaks back to keep a glimmer of hope going.

Kokkinakis and Murray underway. Good hold for Thanasi on his opening service game saving 2 BPs, but I'm backing Muzza for the W.

PCB saved 5 MPs

Djoker through in 4. Had to have a few hecklers ejected.

Taylor lost

It had to happen! Most Americans are overachieving at the moment & it's to be expected that their runs will stop sooner rather than later!
