BTW Novak Djokovic gets his first day match on Sunday against Mannarino not before 1.30pm AEST

Tommy Paul is killing me in this TB.

It is now going to a 5th set Tommy is defending SF points at the AO

And now he's down a break. Tommy, seriously? Now he's all over the place.

Yep just noticed that on the SB, he better break back ASAP

Which should mean that I can watch it at a reasonable hour in NYC. As I mentioned on the women's thread, I'll have my celebratory shot of Don Julio tequila at the ready.

Tommy has fallen apart! 4-0 in the 5th. No excuse. Suck it up and get over the loss of the 4th.

Just saw that on the SB oh well that is tennis for you especially at the 1st GS of the year

5-0 now. Tommy is not coming back. He will rue this one for a long time. He had this match.

He will probably get a bagel, dont understand the Big Meltdown as I am only SB the match

Meamwhile our new favorite French player and the reason why he plays tennis because of Rafa, Cazaux WC is leading Griekspoor 2 sets to love

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Charly is playing 'well within himself' on RLA 1st set 61 and up a break in the 2nd set over Jerry Shang leading 4-1
I have Lleyton Hewiitt as a commie, he is excellent.
Jerry has called for the trainer, he came on court with a heavily bandaged leg

Not sure I said he was MY new favorite French player. LOL.

Also, meanwhile, Alcaraz is picking the wings off of a young, over-matched player.

Oh well Arthur is mine then

 

[Moxie]

Wow, if feels like there's a list of players that are going to have to see their sports psychologists after this AO, but add Tommy Paul.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jerry back on court now after his MTO Charly leading 4-1 2nd set
Lleyton Hewitt said Charly has improved more than last season, he said Charly's first 3 steps is the quickest he has seen from any playing on the ATP tour
Charly 61 61

 

[Moxie]

I'm looking at Shang's run to how he got to Alcaraz. He beat Mackie MacDonald in 5, then Bublik in 4. Great run, but he seems to be out of gas and over-matched.

 

[Fiero425]

Big comeback for Kecmanovic over Tommy Paul! Now in the 5th set & it's over! Poor Paul! IDK why Serbia hasn't won all kinds of team competitions w/ so many other good players to go along w/ Novak! So weird!

Jerry has already had a MTO and came into the match with a big bandaged on his thigh probably not used to playing 5 sets and then 4 sets matches

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bad luck Jerry Shang retired in his match against Alcaraz
Alcaraz wins 61 61 1-0 in the 3rd set before Jerry retired

Cazaux‘s performance is demoralizing Griekspoor. The Frenchman is making the most of this opportunity down under. 5-1 in the third.
