2017 Australian Open - Men's Singles - General Discussion Thread

[helennnnnn]

Yessss Stan

 

[Red Rick]

Martin Klizan gets broken, proceeds to hit the baseline 3 times in the next point

 

[H_Richardson]

I have to leave in 45 minutes for my exam- please close it out Stan!

 

[Pagoo]

Come on Stan! This guy is so infuriating!

 

[yharzu]

if (and i hope and think he does) stan wins this, this might a very good thing. An early battle is sometimes very good

edit: holy **** what was that

 

[The Green Mile]

Yikes! Stan! Right at him. Tsk tsk tsk.... Guess he really wanted to be sure he would win the point.

 

[The_Order]

What a dirty fkn cheap shot from Wawrinka.

 

[stringertom]

Klizan is Slaminal's prop for a deep run, a la Evans at USO'16.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

hat was that Stan!!??? Did he have to go right at him???

 

[idioteque]

Tennis is a contact sport

 

[H_Richardson]

Ouch

 

[Wilhelm]

Ruh-roh, Stan goes berserk

 

[Red Rick]

No mercy from Stan

 

[metsman]

that was a miraculous shot

 

[stringertom]

Slaminal a proponent of Target Tennis.

 

[RF-18]

Waw aimed right at him

 

[Red Rick]

Manly of Klizan to approach the net again

 

[yharzu]

did he smell blood or something?

 

[The Fedfather]

At 35 years old Federer is a breath of fresh air on the tour.

 

[joekapa]

No matter the outcome, kudos must go to Klizan.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Stan is really going for broke here. Trying to force start Stanimal mode.

 

[H_Richardson]

Brilliant hold. Please implode now Klizan

 

[yharzu]

for sure, klizan is a real scary man

 

[junior74]

Very sporty from Klizan. Berdych would have been angry as a mf

Awesome match - I wish they could both proceed to the next round!

 

[joekapa]

At 35 years old Federer is a breath of fresh air on the tour.

Melzer should of taken the first set, if he didn't have a panic attack.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

How is Stan doing this?? Klizan now on the ropes. What a match!

 

[Red Rick]

Meanwhile, my stream of the fed match is getting about 22 pop up adds due to my inactivity

 

[Feather]

What a dirty fkn cheap shot from Wawrinka.

what happened?

 

[The Fedfather]

Melzer should of taken the first set, if he didn't have a panic attack.

Don't be salty.

 

[reaper]

Wawrinka's shot at Klizan was perfectly legitimate. What on Earth was Klizan doing edging forward and not contesting the point while the ball's in play? Wawrinka had every right to believe Klizan would still be out to hit a reflex winner off the Wawrinka forehand by guessing the right way.

 

[The Green Mile]

what happened?

Stan went right at Klizan, with all the time in the world. It looked pretty bad, because Klizan had pretty much conceded the point. Klizan was cool about though.

 

[Red Rick]

what happened?

Klizan gave up on the point while at the net, Wawrinka hit it full in the groin at about 170kph

 

[The Fedfather]

Great shot!

 

[H_Richardson]

Incredible FH!!

 

[The_Order]

what happened?

Klizan gave up on the point, he was standing just about point blank at the net and Stan smashed a ball straight into him. He had all the time in the world to put that ball anywhere and went straight at Klizan full tilt. Then when Klizan is on the floor in pain, he walks over the net to check on him while the crowd boo'd him to hell.

 

[Dilexson]

Serving himself out of trouble. As always.

 

[H_Richardson]

MP Stan after a majestic backhand...

 

[Duncan Donuts]

The wind is out of Klizan's sails.

 

[yharzu]

what happened?

[H_Richardson]

He's got it!!!

 

[jwjh]

Zebrerer got zebroken

 

[metsman]

Fed's FH looks terrible

 

[ArcspacE]

Pity - Kilzan gave it his all

 

[yharzu]

props to klizan!

 

[The Fedfather]

Well, a deserved break here.

 

[RF-18]

Strong from Waw to come back after that.

But I feel bad for Klizan. He had the match in his hands.

 

[joekapa]

From all the Djokovic fans, a big thank you the Stan the Man !

Klizan was fantastic. Great attacking tennis.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Stan survives the Klizan onslaught. What a match!!!

 

[underground]

Meanwhile FedErrors makes an appearance.

 

[Red Rick]

No head pointing, won't win AO
