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

[metsman]

tiafoe finally wilts...zverev to serve for the match

 

[JoelSandwich]

Novak 68 winners
Dennis 62 winners

I feel like Dennis has hit way more, interesting.

IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO ACTUALLY LIKES DJOKO?°°°°°°

Like, admire and complete respect on and off the court. I just happen to be an Andy Murray fan, so I'm torn between wanting to see him beat Djoko in the final (which would help if Novak has a few long matches), and him going out early to keep Andy number one for longer.

HOLD THE ****ING SERVE

I SHOULD BE SLEEPING CAUSE I'M SUPPOSED TO WORK IN LIKE 5 HOURS

BUT I'M AWAKE

CAUSE I BELIEVE IN THIS MAN FROM THIS COUNTRY CALLED UZBEKISTAN

AND THIS IS ALL WHAT TENNIS IS ABOUT

SO ISTOMIN

HOLD

YOUR

BLOODY

SERVE

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Even if Novak somehow pulls this out, they've been playing for closer to 5 hours right now, I can't imagine he'll be able to recover and run through 5 more matches against stiffer competition.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Two more service holds required.

Exactly what I said! But apparently Gasquet will just hand it to Djokovic on a silver platter.

 

[joekapa]

Wtf?! Istomin, of all people

He has played like a champ, and tha stats showed this. He could of beaten anybody today.

 

[AceSalvo]

MIRACULOUS hitting from Isto!

zverev closes it out, great performance. Impressive stuff from Tiafoe too...third set was very entertaining.

And it was known ages ago
By prophets who's names we do not know
That the true downfall of Djabolus would begin
At the hands of Denis Istomin
