Australian Open Day 1: Monday, January 19

[Vince Evert]

Groth's won his OR in straight sets. He's by far the most impressive of the aussies on day 1 just by the way he's serve and vollied. Great to watch. Final score Groth d. Krajinovic, 6-3,7-6,6-4.

That he is. What a strange scoreline Gulbis leads, 7-5,0-6,6-1...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kokkinakis has lost his way early in the 4th set,he is getting annoyed with himself,which is very unlike him,he has lost his focus,slams down his racquet in disgust.Gilbus just breaks him early in the 4th set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kokkinakis attacks the Gilbus fhand and gets the errors,he breaks back,back on serve in the 4th set

My Bad,I am watching 2 matches at once..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kokkinakis will serve to force a t/breaker in the 4th over Gulbis 5-6

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Krygios has returned to court after his MTO

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gilbus with 4th MP

Wow a inside out fhand from Kokkinakis back to deuce...I am loving Kokkinakis attitude
Wow another inside out fhand from Kokkinakis
Great 1st serve ...He Holds Serve and a t/breaker will commence for the 4th set 6 games
'Kokkinakis saved 4 MPS
Gulbis to serve first

 

[tented]

Two DFs in a row in the tiebreak. That's tight.

K may do this yet!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kokkinkas with SP 6-1 he has 5 SPs
Gulbis has self destructed,d/faults and UFE

 

[tented]

5-1 at the changeover (I think my broadcast is a little behind real time, though ...)

 

[Vince Evert]

Try taping one match and watch the other, LOL...

Yes into the final set for Kokkinakis. Jesus, he was fearless saving 4 MP when he was serving down 5-6. Great Stuff played out in a carnival atmosphere. And what's more, he's a South Australian, like me !

 

[Vince Evert]

BTW Roger Federer has won his OR in straight sets, 6-4,6-2,7-5. His story is far from over.
