Upset Corner - AO 2016 edition

[mrzz]

Yes, Nadal should get rid of his uncle and hire his father right away. The problem is that Federer would hire Toni in no time.

Berdych v. Kyrgios - Who do you pick for this one??

I think the Berd will take it, unless he lets the crowd and the Mouth get to him.

Maybe Verdasco should hire Toni, just to know how to play décently 2 matches in a row !!!

Sock is out...

Berdych in three. Where is Kirijax, by the way?

Oh, and I forgot about another upset:
Andrey Kuznetsov defeated 30 seed Chardy in straight sets.

Kuznetsov will meet Sela next, great opportunity for each of them.

Who would have thought the men would hold up this well? The women seeds are getting knocked out "left and right;" half by now are gone! :nono :cover :eyepop :angel: :dodgy:

Seems pretty reminiscent of the last Slam where all the women's seeds were pretty much gone by Round 3 and the men were still intact:-/

See my OP on upset thread in both Men's forum and Women's forum.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Wake up! Mother of all upsets is brewing. Simon has just won the 4th set and is sending the match to the decider. Novak is furious.

Novak's attempted dropshot fell into his own court multiple times in that 4th set.

That was a nice match by Raonic. His volleying was a lot better than I expected.

5 years after his initial breakthrough (4th round, out of nowhere), at the same tournament, Milos is scoring his best win in a slam, over 4th ranked Stan. Very nice.
:clap

Very impressive! That backhand sliced approach to the net almost brought a tear! :cry That serving and volleying took me back at least 20 years! I know Ivo and others still perform it well, but obviously not well enough to make the highlight reel upsetting one of the "Big 4" at a major! :clap :angel:

Good! Hope he gets his next breakthrough after 5 more years. :devil
