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

[Poisoned Slice]

Exceptional.

 

[junior74]

Victor T beginning to clown.

Good, good

 

[DragonBlaze]

Thankfully Wawrinka upped his game. Now to switch over to the Muzziah.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Stan fully warmed up now.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Well, Querrey thanks for coming.

 

[The Green Mile]

I don't understand why players 2nd serve and volley. Even as a "surprise tactic", it still rarely works out in the end. The players today don't spend enough time at the net for that crap, and if the approach isn't great, you're going to get punished.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Murray returning justice now.

 

[The Green Mile]

Jo raising his game at the tail end of a set yet again. Did it in both sets 1 and 2. Love 30 here...

Sock holds on though for 6-5.

 

[skip1969]

Nike and Adidas must think I'm out of my mind, that I would pay $180 to slap some peachy pink tangerine tennis shoes on my size 14 feet.

I mean, I'm crazy. But I ain't that crazy.

 

[The Green Mile]

What a get from Jo! Amazing rally.

 

[pnw_hardcourt]

I'm digging Stan's kit actually, way better than last year's.

 

[MasterZeb]

3700rpm for sock.35 yr old federer had 3300 the other day. amazing to think how much racket head speed he still gets when his forehand is way past its hay day

 

[Aussie Darcy]

@Meles Wow Tomic's match was scheduled for 49 minutes ago, Murray/Querrey only in set 2. Tomic's match might go well into the night session!!

 

[MasterZeb]

I'm digging Stan's kit actually, way better than last year's.

day outfit good, but needs a change up from pink for the other outfit imo. already saw it at us

 

[The Green Mile]

Jack sucking right now. Forehand all over the place in this TB. Jo up 4-0.

Jo's turn to mishit a couple of forehands. Back on serve at 3-4 in this TB.

 

[The Green Mile]

Brilliant drop volley from Jo Willy. MP #2.

 

[abmk]

Looks like Murray is cruising vs Querrey.

6-4, 6-2, 1-0 (up a break)

 

[The Green Mile]

Tsonga!!! Misses the overhead, and Jack has the 3rd set!

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Jesus Christ Tsonga!!!!

 

[abmk]

Sock manages to survive, takes the 3rd set breaker 10-8 ..

 

[skip1969]

20 minutes to hit a routine overhead . . . and Tsonga buries it in the net. DOH! So long, third set.

 

[ArcspacE]

Please, Seppi - do it for my SDL if nothing else

 

[The Green Mile]

Disappointment for Sock right after the 3rd set. Forehand letting him down, and Jo breaks for 2-0.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Seppi into the 4th round.

 

[idioteque]

Courier calling Murray out on his pointless sooking. Noice.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Murray with his trademark lull.

 

[The Green Mile]

Tsonga's forecourt game is much better than Sock's. Way better approaches, and touch of a god. Holds for 3-0.

 

[I Am Finnish]

I swear querrey has no brain

 

[junior74]

It must be pretty annoying to outplay Murray on many occasions, and lose the points on his defensive lobs... How many times!!?

 

[junior74]

Murray has lost 5 finals in one grand slam.
A stat shared with his coach

 

[The Green Mile]

Complete collapse from Jaziri it seems. Was up a break in the 3rd, and now it looks like he's going to get bageled in the 4th.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Murray has lost 5 finals in one grand slam.
One player shares that stat. His coach

Also at the ao?

 

[The Green Mile]

Also at the ao?

Lendl at the USO.

 

[The Green Mile]

Jack's backhand hates being rushed lol. Jo with so much success approaching to that side. Was down love 30, now 40-30. Ace and Jo holds.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Wawrinka's serve disappeard

 

[I Am Finnish]

Wawrinka's serve disappeard

Looks like Troicki's too

 

[MasterZeb]

sock reminds me of jack swagger. and its not cause of the first names

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Yess Murray break him now. I'm home and ready for the Tomic/Evans match. Sitting in a chair in the air con with a cold drink in a 30 degree + heat. Very nice!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

MURRAY BREAKS AND WILL SERVE FOR IT. YESSSS!

 

[skynyrd1611]

Yess Murray break him now. I'm home and ready for the Tomic/Evans match. Sitting in a chair in the air con with a cold drink in a 30 degree + heat. Very nice!

You got your wish

 

[I Am Finnish]

Querrey you retarted clown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[killerboi2]

Mug volley from Querrey and Murray breaks. Should be over soon.

 

[NuBas]

I'm digging Stan's kit actually, way better than last year's.

Its really nice color combo and moderate, not too simple not too crazy design. However the guy needs to try more colors other than pink, must be a superstition now.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Unbelievable wawrinka falied again

 

[The Green Mile]

Clutch Jo here, down 15-40, 3 big 1st serves brings up MP.

Another huge serve, and Jo wins! 7/6 7/5 6/7 6/3. Great match to watch.

 

[junior74]

Stan... Two chances to finish Troicki

Why so careless? Disappoint.

 

[MasterZeb]

Ace to finish it

 

[Sambuccashake]

WTA.

 

[skip1969]

depressing that stan can't serve out his match.

 

[I Am Finnish]

This is not a bad match wouldnt a 5th set
