2017 Brisbane International. ATP 250. (Jan 1st-8th)

[Mainad]

So are you and @Mainad watching Slamimal vs Ninja? Took Kei 11 minutes to hold serve the first time. Nishikori 1-2.

Stan hitting phenomenally well but Kei staying with him. Have the feeling Stan will get the first breakthrough though.

 

[Meles]

To be honest, i'm not enthralled by this match. Hasn't been many fun rallies or stunning shots. Earlier rounds were far better. Although last nights QF with Raonic wasn also slightly boring as Raonic is so boring to watch in my opinion.

Agree on Raonic and this match. Donaldson vs Nishikori was much more lively. Tiebreaker should be something...

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tiebreak time.

Haha another nightowl? Isn't it 4 a.m in the UK? Glad you are watching. Interesting match on paper, but yet to really deliver.

Thompson/Ferrer was a fantastic match in my opinion. Dimitrov has had some good ones too.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Lucky point for Stan! 1-1.

 

[Djokovic2011]

I listened to that Paul guy commentate the Edmund Wawrinat game. It was like is had snorted cocaine before coming on air. Crazy excitable.

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who came out with a homophobic remark while commentating for the BBC at last year's Olympics. Just another contributing factor as to why I find him so annoying

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Now Stan up a break.

 

[Meles]

@cc0509 asleep at the swich as usual on importan tennis.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Not a good time to serve your first double fault Stan... 2-2.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Nishi mini break again. Topsy turvy tiebreak..

 

[Aussie Darcy]

4 set points for Nishi.

1 saved.

 

[Meles]

Ninja producing the goods in the TB. Slamimal hibernating.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Nishi wins the set.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Come on Kei!

 

[Meles]

More like Stan loses the set.

 

[Meles]

The stats are confusing the eurotrash commies.

 

[Meles]

I'm losing the plot on this so checking out for a set. This isn't Raonic vs Thiem bad, but its not good. I'll be tank blitzing with this on mute.

 

[Zebrev]

Hopefully Raonic Dimitrov will be better. That's the one I'm looking forward to.

 

[Meles]

Saw Slamimal break back. 2-3

 

[Djokovic2011]

What a point!

 

[Zebrev]

But, it goes to waste.

 

[Zebrev]

Nish wins.

[Zebrev]

Time for the main event!

And got it wrong again. This is why I should refrain from making predictions. The opposite nearly always happens!

Great match from Kei.

See you in match thread for Dimi.

See you in match thread for Dimi.

Can't promise I can stay up for this one.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Raonic is just to powerful and smart for Dimitrov! I surprise the 1st is even at 4-4! Time for Raonic to go to the next level! No a fan of Raonic, but he took care of Rafa and should easily take out Dimitrov!

Nope

Rafa on the way home ....

Raonic on the way home:

Raonic on the way home:

Well it's interesting isn't it. All the Raonic Hype, when is it going to happen ?

He's just Berdych !

 

[speedysteve]

Just watched the Warw Nish highlights. Nish played well, Warw holding it in for the Aus Open?

Great match from Kei.

LOL, me and you alike.

Great job Nishikori. Should be an interesting match against Dimitrov. Will Dimitrov finally make up for his supposed 'talent', here?

 

[bjk]

Dimitrov strong. Milos completely collapsed after losing the 1st set tiebreaker. That's the problem with being a 220 pound tennis player.

 

[Gytha]

Kokkinakis/Thompson take the doubles title!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

So good for Thompson/Kokkinakis.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Thompson only had 2 or 3 doubles main draw tour wins before this week. Kokkinakis had 7. So this title is awesome!
Very good week for them both! Go the Aussies!

 

[SpinToWin]

What a start!

Lol Griggs best server of the tournament? Times have changed hahaha
