2016 Aussie Open

would love to see verdasco pull this out

If Verdasco is to beat Nadal (which he did), it would have been better if it were at a later round, when there was more at stake.

Like a 4th round or QF match.

For him to beat Nadal, then not even make it to the 3rd round, doesn't really make it a good tournament for him.

i was wondering if janowicz was going to come into this year's aussie open in his best form

sadly, he has not

what a waste of talent

glad for johnny isner, of course. he works as hard as anybody, and deserves all of his success

Agree.

And OT, but every year when I do my predictions, I usually have Isner making the 3rd or 4th round at least at the AO, and he doesn't.

The one year (1st time in about 7 years) I don't do predictions for a major, and Isner has had a decent run so far.

Looking forward to Raonic-Wawrinka, and Isner-Ferrer. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrer wins in straight sets with Isner not winning a 4th game in some sets. But we'll see.

Dog is fun to watch. Definitely unconventional.

Agree.

Maybe you were the problem?

Yeah hoping these women matches on RLA go fast so I can enjoy the full Raonic/Wawrinka match before going to bed.

 

[nuraman00]

I can't stand watching Raonic play. Tiebreaks even against old man Robredo. Yawn.

I was sad to see Pospisil go out against an even more boring player to watch (Simon).

Lol. I don't mind watching Simon.

 

[nuraman00]

wow

simon is taking nole to a 5th set

this is crazy. i know he's done this to Fed several times over the years, but i wasn't expecting it against nole.

I'm glad we got a good match to watch because of it.

For him to beat Nadal, then not even make it to the 3rd round, doesn't really make it a good tournament for him.

worse for nadal to be unable to beat a 32 year old that dudi sela beat with ease 48 hours later

it's beyond stupid for the commentators to act like verdasco's win over nadal somehow didn't count

i'm talking about reality, not hypotheticals

 

[bksballer89]

Monfils on to the quarters

 

[bksballer89]

I'm really liking what I'm seeing from Raonic these days

 

[bksballer89]

That had to frustrate Stan. Break Raonic on Raonic's first service game of the set only to gave Raonic break him right back

 

[bksballer89]

Raonic has Stan on the ropes. His return game is pretty impressive.

Break point for Raonic

 

[bksballer89]

Wow another break for Raonic. I'm pretty stunned that he has broken serve 3 times and were just midway through the 2nd

 

[NinersFan80]

Monfils on to the quarters

I really don't watch tennis but I watch Monfils play a few years ago and he became my favorite, I really enjoy watching him play.

He's fun if you like to be entertained.

 

[cezero]

wawrinka imploding mentally

i think he's weirded out by seeing raonic move as well as he is

shrinks the court for waws

 

[bksballer89]

Disappointed in Stan

 

[bksballer89]

Stan has not been in any of Raonic's service games since breaking him early in the 2nd

 

[bksballer89]

Have no idea how Stan is going to win a possible tiebreak vs Raonic

 

[bksballer89]

Wow he just broke Raonic. Serving for the set now

 

[bksballer89]

Well well well look like we have a match now
