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

[JonnyMac]

Evans very emotional. Well done to him. Great to see. I hope he goes even deeper. He is playing with heart, that's for sure. What more can a sports fan ask for ?

The Chavs in Birmingham will be out partying tonight. Truck loads of fosters lager and Aldi beers are being shipped there as we speak. Burberry will be handing out free hats.

Bad luck Bernard. You showed some heart today.

First it was @ScentOfDefeat now joekapa.

What has TTW against a good old fashioned bunch of British Chavs ?

Chevans - GOAT !

 

[Red Rick]

Scheduling is unbelievable btw. Can't believe what they put on RLA before the Federer match. Is it true Murray played on Hisense today?

 

[JonnyMac]

LOL, I like his interview. Seems honest and down to Earth like Andy.

Sorry - Certified Chav....

Supposedly Murray requested Hisense.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

The British Chav @ScentOfDefeat takes it !

He's probably havin' a cheeky Nando's as we speak.

Didn't Kei have Adidas shoes before?

Does Darren Cahill read TT? He mentioned this on ESPN just a couple minutes after my post.

He's been here before.

 

[Mr Feeny]

Straight set robbery?

Apparently. Stupidity knows no bounds.

 

[Red Rick]

Supposedly Murray requested Hisense.

I wouldn't know why he'd do that, but it's the only reason I'd find acceptable.

Has Murray figured out he's got a maximum amount of matches he can win on the RLA every year?

 

[JonnyMac]

Well deserved - Go Chavans!

 

[merwy]

Anyone watching game set and mats now? Boris is hilariously goofy

It's been rumoured and unofficially confirmed that several commentators must read these forums. This kind of thing has happens a lot in the past that topics of discussion in threads suddenly seem to show up in commentary. I mean it could be a massive coincidence but in all honesty, what is a better way to make sure your comments are relevant to the right people? To browse tennis forums and match threads and see what the fans wanna hear.

You kidding me mate I love Chavs. We have our own version in Australia. We call them Bogans. Life wouldn't be the same without 'em. They add color to the mundane !!!

Kei takes 2nd set

There is no doubt they do imho.

ESPN put on Kei's match and suddenly I have a craving for cup noodles.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not.

But it seems plausible that we've messed up the British commentators with all the mury goat we've been posting

Making my mouth water. Been too long since I've had a Nando's.

 

[beast of mallorca]

Why ? What's in Hisense ?

 

[The Green Mile]

I dunno....

Would explain Andrew Castle lol

 

[Red Rick]

Seriously. After Evans-Tomic we switch to Barthel-Barty, WTA of women outside the top 100, and when they're finished we suddenlty get Game-Set and Matz on Eurosport instaed of showing freaking Nishikori. They're starting to **** me off

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I thought cheeky Nando's was just an Australian thing! That's hilarious!

 

[Red Rick]

I dunno....

Maybe the crapper is closer and Murray has bowel trouble. Or maybe he knows Querrey is most dangerous off Center Courts in 3rd round slam matches vs World #1's and just wanted to show Djokovic how it's done

Oh shush it. Barty is only out of the top 100 as she left the sport to play cricket at an elite level. She's come back and is now in the top 200 with just 5 tournaments played. 3R at a slam, impressive. Was a decent 3rd set. I was watching in between getting angry at Evans

 

[The Green Mile]

Murray isn't the only one that has requested Hisense. Nick did too, saying it's his favorite arena, but I think that might be because of the memories he had against Seppi...

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Federer won the toss but chose to receive?!?!? He never does that.

 

[joekapa]

How is Nishikori playing ?

 

[stringertom]

The meme always makes it laugh, if it didn't have the "f" word it'd be perfect

It's perfect with Courteney's lovely cougar cleavage exposed and in action.

 

[joekapa]

Federer's only hope today will be his serve. If Berdych makes him move, it will be finished soon enough.

 

[joekapa]

Berdych short ball toss proving to be a success. Ivanisevic effect.

Ivanisevic would be an IDEAL coach for Djokovic. The fiery Croat/Serb combination would create a monster.....or destroy them both.

 

[joekapa]

Federer playing great so far.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

@JonnyMac @Aussie Darcy

 

[joekapa]

Federer breaks !!!!!

 

[racquetreligion]

VEB almost had Tomic in meltdown what a shame

Dan Evans will crush Tomic

Remember that Dan played quite a long match against Cilic. Who knows how it'll go. We will see.

Like he did in Davis Cup?

Oh, wait...

As I said Evans will be da Limey Chavan buster of Thomas the Tank

 

[skynyrd1611]

Is Federer playing as well as he appears to be following the score? Looks like a demolition job.

 

[Krish872007]

Yep, pretty much. 15 UEs, over 30 winners, firing aces at will, hasn't faced a BP yet. He's been aggressive and has robbed Berdych of time completely.

Cheers. Seems like the man had played himself into form over his matches. Next couple of rounds now look really interesting.

 

[ArcspacE]

Berdych = Joke

 

[racquetreligion]

Fed does not need to win any more slams, this proves he is the most beautiful talented and incredible tennis player in history

 

[racquetreligion]

If Fed played like this at wimby last year he would be at 18 slams now and watching the AO on Rafas boat

Strong Arrogant Era

 

[ArcspacE]

Nob head ? Scent of the feet ! Wots goin' on ?

Poor Evo - he's neva gonna shake this - init...

 

[JonnyMac]

When did Evans become so good?

Can not be Bin Man influence. Not a chance there is.
