Aussie Open Tennis

[DaveF]

Really enjoying listening to Kyrios on Eurosport commentary.He can be a right twat on court but he is great to listen to and comes across as a funny, interesting bloke.

[He's here!]

Talking of tw*ts, I can exclusively reveal that Djokovic wins the tournament.

Andy Murray out in the first round, straight sets defeat. Wonder if that's his last Australian Open.

It really should be. Fair play for continuing to play, but I think he’ll call it a day after Wimbledon.

Agree, he was world class but time to retire and protect his health .
Stan Wawrinka should also call it a day along with Nadal
Jack Draper is the Brit that I think can progress into the top ten

Yep, he is well and truly and finished at tour level but he seems to be struggling to accept it. He was easily brushed aside today - a painful watch.

Never realised he was in as haven’t seen any action yet. That sounds interesting though 😁

Curious to see if Novak can add another Australian open to extend a few of his records and keep dominating in this absolutely outstanding career, or if it’s time for Alcaraz to add Oz to his collection!

I really enjoyed watching Kyrgios as a player and I think he'd have won slams eventually. I've better things to do than listening to him talk though!

I think his natural talent with the attitude and desire of someone like Andy Murray could have seen him at the very top.

Some performance from Sinner, to beat Djokovic

[Hiber-nation]

At last the young guns are coming through. Don't think Djokovic is completely done yet but he'll struggle to win another slam.

Some performance from Sinner, to beat Djokovic

Couldn't see past Novax at this event so well done Sinner, who played him off the court. Great day for men's tennis.

[heretoday]

Sinner v Medvedev. They're both thin as rakes.

[Sloop67]

Pretty one sided first set in the women's final , 6-2 Sabalenka in 33 minutes

[DaveF]

Sinner v Medvedev. They're both thin as rakes.

Looking forward to it and I don't mind who wins. Be nice for Sinner to get his 1st slam but I love watching Medvedev so I hope it's a good encounter.

[Sloop67]

Medvedev in charge , 2 sets up . Sinner doesn't seem to have any answers

[Sloop67]

Sinner making a match of it now , pulled a set back

[Sloop67]

2 sets apiece now

[HibbyAndy]

What an absolute epic match this is !!! The amount of rally's is frightening !

[Sloop67]

Remarkable turnaround from Sinner to come from 0-2 down to win , superb performance

[HibbyAndy]

What a brilliant final ! Feel shan for Medvedev but Sinner deservedly wins his first Major , Many more to come from him i think


Sure he's italian tho , Looks Scottish :greengrin

[DaveF]

Murray loses yet again in the 1st round of a 250. 6 straight defeats. A worse record than Montgomery.

[Trinity Hibee]

Jacob fearnley from Edinburgh currently 2 sets and a break up v Kyrgios

[Trinity Hibee]

Straight sets win albeit Kyrgios not fully match fit

[Johnny_Leith]

I’m in attendance today at the John Cain, good atmosphere and set up so far, first Aussie open, hopefully some good tennis today.

[hibeg]

Jacob Fearnley through to round 3. Tough one v Zverev but gaining big match experience

Jack Draper looked down and out but came back to win. I think he has been on court for about 9 hours in 2 matches :shocked::shocked:

A novel approach when it comes to sticking it to the hecklers?

[He's here!]

Helluva gruelling win for Draper. He's some competitor and he looks like he's got the game to go right to the top, but after three successive five-setters and a recent hip injury he'll likely toil against Alcaraz next. A daunting assignment at any time.

[Trinity Hibee]

Novak v Alcaraz around 9.30/10 this morning
