Australian Open Day 6: Saturday, Jan 18 - Order of Play

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed played 3rd match even better than second match.

In the first match Duckworth had more winners than Fed, even though Fed was
better at (Winners - UFE).

In the second match Fed had much more winners than his opponent. But, he also had
more UFE than his opponent. He was better at (Winners -UFE).

Finally, in today's match Fed had more winners than his opponent and also had
less UFE than his opponent. By far, the best performance so far.

But, he missed a fairly easy back hand volley badly with Edberg watching from
the stands. He is going to be chastised.

Did Lopez join the military or something?

Did Lopez join the military or something?

No, he is just trying to make himself unattractive for Judy.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Here's where the rubber meets the road between Raonic and Dimitrov.

 

[I.Haychew]

It wouldn't be right if this doesn't go five.

Edit: Well, I guess it was left.

 

[El Dude]

Yes! Grigor on to the 4R. My boy has arrived.

Well, maybe not, but still it is very heartening to see him win this one. I only saw the last few points of the tiebreak, but he looked fit and composed - very encouraging.

 

[Moxie]

Dimitrov takes it in 4. Great play in the TB. Dimitrov wins the battle of the comers.

While I was hoping for Milos to come out on top, this was the the best Gregorova has shown to the eorld and I really enjoyed what I saw from him.
I hope he starts playing like this week in and week out.

 

[Moxie]

Murray-Lopez into a TB.

 

[herios]

Yes! Grigor on to the 4R. My boy has arrived.

Well, maybe not, but still it is very heartening to see him win this one. I only saw the last few points of the tiebreak, but he looked fit and composed - very encouraging.

El Dude, he played really well. Serve is greatly improved, some very inspired passing shots and returns as well, I think he will start converting on his promise, slowly but surely

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

grigor the great finally gets with the programme..that bh reminded of the one Federer hit ch pt down 2008.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Murray's out of sorts still. Denisovic said he'd rather see Nadal than Murray in the final, which I find odd at this point. I might be wrong, and I really hope Murray picks up his level in this tourney, but he doesn't seem anywhere near top form yet. In fairness, even in the slams he did win, he wasn't exactly playing lights out tennis in the early rounds.

 

[sid]

I think Andy playing himself in @ AO,if he wins this match & the next you never know how deep he might go.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

murrays level is bound to be a bit uneven..after his mega non fonzy injury void via Miami beach gigolo swerving.

 

[britbox]

Murray should get better as the tournament progresses. He's kind of flying under the radar a little coming back from injury. I don't think Fed, Tsonga or Simon will be counting their chickens if Andy makes it to the quarters.

Good to see Grigor finally getting into the second week.
