2016 Aussie Open

[cezero]

Fed and Djoker is a toss up.

the last 2 majors they played against each other, nole won in 4 sets. and the final sets were pretty routine.

i haven't noticed a dip in nole's play, nor a rise in fed's.

but anything is possible.

Murray over Ferrer in four sets and Raonic in straight sets over La Monf.

 

[Hs0022]

Of course Murray will benefit if he makes the finals over Raonic then he gets a very tired opponent. If its Fed Murray wins and if its Djoko its even.

 

[cezero]

fed has very little chance of beating federer outside of a 3 set match ever again

Of course Murray will benefit if he makes the finals over Raonic then he gets a very tired opponent. If its Fed Murray wins and if its Djoko its even.

How would Murray benefit? The winner of the Fed/Novak match actually get one more day of rest over the Murray/Ferrer vs Monfils/Raonic Semi finals winner

Wow Kerber won the 1st set

 

[Old Lion]

Wow Kerber won the 1st set

Not a huge surprise. She came close to winning a major (and probably should have).

 

[bksballer89]

Wow Kerber was down a double break in the 2nd set and manage to tie it at 5 all

This would be a first career win over azarenka

 

[bksballer89]

Wow its over. What a run in the 2nd set. 5 straight games after being down 5-2 to win the match.

What defense on the match point just now

Most of those idiots were on the Azarenka train lol. Everyone doubted Serena and only 2 of their 12 picked her.

 

[cezero]

oops, those were from last year.

this year, almost everybody picked Azarenka, as you said

 

[bksballer89]

That had to hurt Ferrer. Had 2 break chances to get back on serve and he failed both times and murray takes the 1st set.

BTW according to Chris Fowler twitter account, he expects roof to be closed for Fed/Novak tomorrow. Assuming there some weather scheduled for tomorrow night

 

[bksballer89]

Man this looks like it can be one of the best matches of the tournament. Great action through 2 sets. Wish I didn't have to work in the morning. Sucks

Chris Flower has a twitter account? He has followers?! Lol! Cant stand that arrogant bas*ard!

Now on to Fed vs Djoker 50/50 here.
Murray over Raonic easily.

Who was dumb enough to pick Halep? The girl should not have even been in this one. She is a walking infection. Will be out until the French most likely with the surgery(s) she will be getting.

Would love to see Raonic in a final, but I cant see him beating any of the remaining players. Maybe he has enough for Murray, but he definitely showed some cracks against Monfils.
