Australian Open Day 6: Saturday, January 24

COME ON DIMITROV. SEND THE OTHERWISE BORE, ANDY MURRAY CRASHING OUT OF THE A.O. IN STRAIGHT SETS, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Front242]

I actually reckon Murray will win surprisingly easily. Not saying that's the outcome I'd like but that's what I expect.

Say goodbye to Isner. Muller won: 7-6(4), 7-6(6), 6-4

So, we made sure that there are no American men in second week as usual.

I too think Murray will win. Grigor's game seems to be too defensive at the moment.
This is a big statement considering Murray's game is usually considered defensive as well.

 

[Front242]

Yeah, as much as I'd like Dimitrov to assert himself properly by winning a few big matches I just don't see it from him when I watch his matches. Patches of great play, some flashy brilliance and way too much of frankly nothing too great. Roger made a monkey out of him at Brisbane. When a 33 year old beats a supposed next generation potential slam winner 6-2 6-2 there's something wrong.

Exactly. It reminds me how consistent Roddick was for so many years. When he was around, there was always at least one American in the Top 10, one American in the second week of a Major (OK, except RG). But these days, it's practically headline news if an American wins two matches in a row at a Major.

I am really surprised that big John didnt win this match but give Muller credit , he won the big points and is playing well

Like what for instance?
