Australian Open 2023 SF: Karen Khachanov vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas

[Moxie]

Could the final be the Battle of the Bad Dad Jokes? By which I mean The Bad Joke-Dads?

I still dont think The Poo has done anything to improve The Young Greeks serve
Is he playing well enough to cause any concern for Novak?

Maybe the Poo is teaching him how to become a ladies man while he is single.

 

[Moxie]

Lovely point there from Tsitsipas.

Not with a nickname like that, he won't.

 

[Moxie]

The Greek breaks Fred Flintstone.

 

[nehmeth]

Tsitsipas is cranking out monstrous returns from the shadows and gets the break.

 

[tented]

Tsitsipas swinging freely now.

Seems like The Young Greek is stepping up here early in the 3rd set....actually his 1st serve percentage is good

Speaking of Greeks, my favorite football Greek Jimmy G is still on the mend for the 49ers which has been a blessing in disguise for the 49ers fans. We gonna bear Philly regardless of @kskate2 picking against my boys..I missed the football picks thread. It's a shame Darth retired before Rafa's second Aussie Open title.

 

[Moxie]

Smoked return!

 

[Moxie]

Silent K getting frustrated.

I loved Darth's dry sense of humor

I thought of that this fall...we can do the Football pool next year. @kskate2?

All he has to do you s just go back and watch the first two sets of his RG final vs Novak's game plus Medvedev US open final.. If you take away his serve and make him stressed by keeping his FH deeper Novak's mind can bleed with fear.

 

[Moxie]

My ESPN schedule makes it look like they're going to cut me off in 10 minutes. Will they really?

Do you think the Niners defense can stop Jalen Hurts? I know they will.

 

[tented]

What has impressed me the most is the Greek’s ability to keep his emotions under control. Even after two time violations and foot faults, he was calm, and didn’t fight with the umpire. I haven’t seen him yell at his dad either.

 

[Moxie]

OK, KK not completely one-dimensional. Nice there at the net.

I hope not. That would be cruel.

Tsitsipas needs to save those blistering forehand service returns for Djokovich. Unbelievable shots from 5-10 feet behind the baseline.
