2018 Aussie Open

[bksballer89]

Think the draw comes out tonight.

 

[bksballer89]

So in the final tuneup in Auckland, We had Sock, Querrey, & Isner as 3 of the top 4 seeds in that tournament.

They all went down in their first match

LOL.

They'll do better in the AO.

LOL.

Not so sure. Maybe Sock. The real young guys (Tiafoe, Fritz, etc..) might do better.

Querrey never plays well here. His best tournaments recently been Wimbledon and US Open

TEN MUST-SEE ROUND 1 MATCHES

Venus Williams v Belinda Bencic

Destanee Aiava v Simona Halep

Sam Stosur v Monica Puig

Agnieska Radwanska v Kristyna Pliskova

Shuai Zhang v Sloane Stephens

Matthew Ebden v John Isner

Nick Kyrgios v Rogerio Dutra Silva

Alex De Minaur v Tomas Berdych

Novak Djokovic v Donald Young

David Ferrer v Andrey Rublev

 

[Old Lion]

Halep and Ferrer are in trouble. Stosur is on her way out and Puig is on her way up. That would not be an upset.

David Ferrer v Andrey Rublev

Radwanska vs. the lesser known Pliskova. I guess it's a good chance to see how her game is compared to her sister.

I liked how Donald Young played last year. Hopefully he brings it against Djokovic.

 

[nuraman00]

Halep and Ferrer are in trouble. Stosur is on her way out and Puig is on her way up. That would not be an upset.

Stosur needs to ask Venus what her victorious secret is. And then use it to stall decay.

 

[nuraman00]

Querrey never plays well here. His best tournaments recently been Wimbledon and US Open

There's always this year.

Both Williams sisters took a lot of time away over the years. They did not get ground down like most of the players on the tour.

Like Novak vs Monfils 2nd round match

Like Novak vs Monfils 2nd round match

Not at the Australian Open, Novak's best surface. The USO or FO have been better for Monfils, so they would probably be a better match there.

Still, you never know with Monfils. There's always this year that he can create some excitement with a big win at a major.

 

[bksballer89]

This guy is such a tool

 

[bksballer89]

Sloane down a break in the final set

 

[bksballer89]

And she's gone. Also on a 8 match losing streak now

 

[bksballer89]

What an embarrassing day for american women.

Venus and Sloane both gone. Coco a game away from being eliminated

 

[bksballer89]

American Women are 0-6

 

[bksballer89]

And Isner about to go down 2 sets to 1 lol
