The Master of Melbourne was clinical in his win over Alex de Minaur.

Don't you mean the Master of fake injury

About time a player called him out on his injury...

I would have preferred Hune instead of the big hair dude Rublev whose testicles (excuse me Ladies) will shrink to the size of marbles vs the Great Serbian Slayer.

Don't you mean the Master of fake injury ?

Unless he won 9 slams here with a fake injury? No. Last night when Courier asked him, he said the hammy was not giving him a problem.

The kid is all of 19. Moves up to # 8 in the world. Holger will learn from this.

We can only hope, but we've seen this before! I pray Holger continues his run to the top of the rankings eventually!

 

[Fiero425]

Perhaps D-Minor should call an MTO needing bandages from this butt whipping on home soil.

He needs to play for his country instead of himself! Supposedly he's "lights out" great when competing in Davis Cup, ATP Cup, & United Cup!

Looking forward to the quarterfinals in the top half of the draw.

I would have preferred Hune instead of the big hair dude Rublev whose testicles (excuse me Ladies) will shrink to the size of marbles vs the Great Serbian Slayer.

On his current form from his match against Rublev, Novak would have defeated him on 'one leg' in straight sets, as Don Fabio and I discussed earlier Rune has conditioning problems,it was evident during the match, against Rublev,,Jim Courier said he needs to go on a training block,after the AO, for endurance and lung capacity, he had a MTO, at one stage he waved to his team, he was thinking of retiring in the match..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hopefully Seb Korda will defeat KK and save tennis lol!
The Young Greek who calls Melbourne his 'second home' should be able to defeat the Czech rising star Lehecka.
I feel Tommy Paul will have the experience edge over my rising youngster Ben Shelton,

 

[Jelenafan]

De Minaur doesn't have any weapons at all to hurt Novak here. Expecting rather easy victory.

Once he shaved off his frightening mustache there went his main weapon…

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Some strong words from Novak Djokovic

Only my injuries are questioned.When some other players are injured, then they are the victims, but when it is me, I am faking it.It is very interesting.I don't feel that I need to prove anything to anyone".

Watching repeat now w/ no telecast in the middle of the night! Hewitt looked like he was about to cry watching de Minaur at 0-3 in the 2nd set!

 

[El Dude]

Happy to see Rublev move on, but I think his path ends here and he'll be splattered against a Serbian wall.

As for Rune, I'm not convinced that he won't be the better player than Alcaraz. At the least, I think he'll be right there with the Spaniard.

 

[El Dude]

There is a strong correlation between "Novak haters" and "Rafa fans." Gee, I wonder why.

 

[Ellentonboy]

Well, I don't post often on the men's thread but this event for the US has been really a nice surprise. Shelton/Paul should be interesting. Tommy Paul has been lumped in with a number of very fine American players but now he has an opportunity to make his first GS semifinal. Shelton held his nerve as JJ Wolfe seemed to run out of gas in the fifth, still a great effort. Not sure I am thrilled with some of Shelton's on-court celebrations, at one point I felt he was cheering his opponent's errors - not kewl to me, or maybe I just misinterpreted his behavior. There is also Korda in the top half, he'll have his hands full with the big serving Russian.

This was NOT the AO I was expecting to see, or rather not these names in the quarterfinals. Anything can happen!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Ben Shelton,
" I got on the plane with no expectations. Maybe not having expectations has made me play more freely, has contributed to my success. Every match I've felt a mix of joy and relief. I have the estatic feeling.To have done this 4 times in a row has been incredible"
