Australian Open 2023 [Men] - Grand Slam

It's impossible to believe he's injured when he is winning sets 6-0

Or 61 like last night

 

[TheSicilian]

So I wasn't far off.

It was dodgy timing, why are players allowed to leave court mid set, unless the injury just happened like Zverev at RG it shouldn't be allowed. The 5-5 game had 5 deuces with 2 bp to Novax he knew what he was doing smart but terrible gamesmanship...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh wait,

Mats Medicated Wilander has come on Twitter in his own way and said after Murray's both matches at the AO, has gone back on his former words regarding giving Murray wild cards to tournaments, he has shown he does want to still be on the tour?
Mat the 'drugs aren't working' again

 

[TheSicilian]

Or 61 like last night

He had a 61 62 60 imagine what he could do if he was injury free

To be fair the French Qualifer did take a set off Novak last night

Poor chap an ankle injury

Sinner's in trouble against Fucsovics; down 0-2 in sets! It's gonna take a great comeback to avoid another big upset!

Fucsovic is a tough customer, but is everyone going to take the long road to each next round?!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik I will serve ' separation papers' on your, just like Kskate has done with Matteo if you dare lose this match

Seems so! Sinner won the 3rd & is up a break 3-2 in the 4th! Idiot! This tourney will end with "wheelchairs at the ready" on the sidelines!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Okay serve it out Jannik 5-2 for the 4th set

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ben Fatto Jannik wining the 4th set 62
2 sets all....now lets finish it!!!!!!

 

[Moxie]

Tsitsitpas seems to be begging to lose the 2nd set.

Tsitsitpas seems to be begging to lose the 2nd set.

Let him

 

[Moxie]

Trying not to make the labored pun about "Greek's Poor," but let's see if Tsitsipas wins this TB to forgive some of the flaws there, late in this 2nd.

 

[Moxie]

OMG, Griekspoor buries that in the net to let off the actual poor Greek. Tsitsipas leads 2 sets to 1.

 

[Moxie]

Jannik I will serve ' separation papers' on your, just like Kskate has done with Matteo if you dare lose this match

Good news! You don't have to break up with Jannik!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

For the first time Jannik Sinner comes back from 2 sets down the 'first time in his career defeating Fucsovic 46 46 61 62 60 to reach the last 16....great confidence booster..............Ben Fatto Jannik!!!!!!!!

MOLTO ben fatto! This could be a bit of a career-definer, though I didn't see much of it. Fucsovic is a touch customer. Sinner is still just 21. Fighting through this could serve him very well. Excellent win for the young Italian!
