Australian Open [Men] - Grand Slam

[Moxie]

Gael Monfils No 10 seed is gonsky defeated by Finn Emil Rousuvori 36 64 75 36 63

Ruousuuuvvvooooi, he of the many vowels, has been doing well, and I actually nearly picked him to win that. Not brave of me. Keep waiting for Monfils to reemerge, but not holding out endless faith.

Zverev has opted for the sleeveless. White not a great choice, when you're already so white. He looks like a college boy who just rolled off of the couch.

Giron wins the first set in a TB. I don't expect this to last, but, as per usual, Zverev needs to clean up his act. Where in the world to start??

Maybe Sasha likes to take the 'scenic route' in Grand Slams,though remember he had a back problem,in the ATP Cup against Russia the other day,I felt he should retire,he had MTO for his back and another courtside one in his match against Meds.
Would someone find Sasha a tee-shirt he cannot do the 'sleeveless' at all........EEK!

Yep it is the 'Year of the Back' so far in 2021!

Le Monf in trouble. Down a break in the decider 4-2

KS I wonder if this is the last year for Gael..

I only watch Sasha's matches usually if he plays Rafa.I am waiting for Bianca Andresscu game to start

 

[GameSetAndMath]

SASHA smashed his racquet after losing a game at 3_4 down. NOW his opponent is serving for second set. Z may go home,

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Unfortunately Giron couldn't finish the job leading to 5 5

Fed should learn from Brady. Age is just a number,

Exactly! Don't trade him yet. Think how Belichick feels.

Too much sitting in hotel rooms. The pandemic has me sitting too much at my computer and my back is killing me these days. Except that I'm old, and not a professional athlete, and no one pays me to be more fit. They really have to sort themselves out.

I hear you,my back is telling me to get up and move and my eyes are sore from being on the computer for hours today.....
I really think tennis players should take up Yoga which is soo good for your body....I am a convert,also you can do this in a hotel room

Monfils very emotional in his presser after the match, so he does really care. I saw the video, and it was hard to see him so down.

Battle between the 2 youngsters goes to a decider and Shap grabs the first break 1-0

WTF? Who scheduled the winner of a warm-up tourney so early in the 1st round? Idiots! I was so impressed with admin. of AO over the years, but Sinner being made to play Shap Monday was unconscionable! He used it all up getting to that final and I didn't expect him to win either way! It's always on the racket of Shap who determines the outcome with winners or tons of UFE's! He's the NG version of Monfils; a lot of flash that can blow up or blow out real fast!

Sinner vs Sharp..maybe at their age and standing. One of the most unfair first round grand slam men's matches in a long time.
