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

[SpinToWin]

Spotted it finally and updated my post. TennisTv does not have Brisbane or Sydney so I went for this. Replays will be great. I'm in US, but using service called Private Internet Access to show UK IP address so eurosport allows me to sign up and view.

Am I recalling correctly that Eurosport has some of the slams?

Most actually... Aus Open, French Open, and US Open. Wimbledon is the only exception, but for that there is an awesome app with which you can watch BBC HD for free hehe

Australia's koalas have met a lot of tennis players:

Rafa in Brisbane (Jan. 2017) , Goffin in Melbourne (Jan. 2016)

Murray in Perth (Dec. 2015)

 

[Krish872007]

Rafa must have got a baby koala, Murray's is enormous!

I picture Sir Andrew narrating one of those BBC wild life documentaries when his tennis career is finished.

W@fa vs the Dog tomorrow.... juicy match!

In 2016, Eurosport reached a deal to air Wimbledon in a few countries:

Wow. Slim pickings. Hoping Eurosport player works well on my older Ipad. Both Sling TV and Tennis TV not working atm (new Tennis TV never will.) The list is basically everything tennis tv does not have.

I want to see them take on drop bears.

Rain, rain go away, comeback on some other day (or week). Forecast looking shakey... Just the main court is indoors?

 

[fundrazer]

Gonna watch Thiem/Nishi vs Konti/Peers. Was really impressed with the latter pair and their win in London. Really like Kontinen's serve also.

Show court 1 and 2 have a temporary roof this year but water can still come in if its heavy which it has been today in Brisbane.

Aargh. Thiem and Ninja in doubles playing.

 

[Meles]

Fromhot.com has Ninja vs Thiem.

[Meles]

Ugh now wind is blowing mist on court and stalling play.

 

[Meles]

Thiem Ninja getting fired up. Thiem had two great drop volleys and Ninja served big in last game. Kontinen/Peers lead 6-1, 2-3

LOL. The riddle down the middle as Kei and Thiem watch and neither goes for groundie.

 

[Meles]

Thiem Ninja breaks for 4-2 lead. Where is @gnana prakash ?

 

[Meles]

Thieminator back to back huges aces for love hold. 5-2.

 

[Meles]

Easy peasy hold for the Ninja. 1 set all. Superbreaker.

 

[Meles]

Keibomb with the mini poach serving 3-2, aces to 4-2

 

[Meles]

Beautiful point for 5 all by Thiem

 

[Meles]

Crazy hook ace gets it to 6-5 for Thiem Ninja.

 

[Meles]

9 all on Thiem serve, kei does hardest shot in tennis for 10-9

 

[Meles]

Thiem return garners mini for Kei 11-10

 

[Meles]

Yaaas. Kei gets nice first in and Thiemy puts away the volley and the 2 seeds are gone.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

In the crowd watching Groth play. So good

Hehe you liked Herbert taking the 2nd?

Muller broke back against Donaldson in first set to get to 3 all, but just saw young master Donaldson took set 6-4.

I left after that to to watch 16 year old Aiva win her match!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Triple break points for Groth but Herbert saves all 3. Herbert up 5-4 in the 3rd. On serve.

 

[Meles]

Donaldson just consolidated break at love for 4-2 in 2nd. Muller odds flashing an 11 currently. Aiva is her last name? Hopefully you see De Mineaur today.

 

[Meles]

Hold, easy break, easy hold and Groth repels the French invasion.

Spoiler

Well until Simon vs Pouille come on court next.

Watching Pouille v Simon ATM. Odd match with quite a few momentum swings. Simon lef 5-1 then Pouille won the next 2 games including breaking Simon to love. Now Simon is 2 points away from winning the set but on Pouilles serve.

I'll be heading out to watching De Minaur next.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Good rally then and Pouille gets to game point to win 3 straight games after being down 1-5.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Now it's 5-5. Crazy match.
4 straight games won.

 

[Meles]

Watching Pouille v Simon ATM. Odd match with quite a few momentum swings. Simon lef 5-1 then Pouille won the next 2 games including breaking Simon to love. Now Simon is 2 points away from winning the set but on Pouilles serve.

I'll be heading out to watching De Minaur next.

Hehe. You're not going anywhere. Pouille manning up and outgrinding Simon?

 

[Meles]

Pouille 6-5. Commies say he's won 6 straight games.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Pouille led 4-2 in the tiebreaker and now Simon is up 5-4 with 2 serves. Serious momentum changes this set. This set has been going for 59 minutes.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

CLUTCH POINT AT 6-5 omg Pouille wow.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Hahaha even the players watched the replay of that one.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Pouille has set point now. Good match. Very tight between these two.

Simon double faults. Pouille wins the first.

Simon double faults. Pouille wins the first.

Simon cracked under the intensity of Pouille. What an amazing set. Pouille out cat and mousing Simon and outgrinding him at the end. Simon owned Pouille coming into this match.

 

[Meles]

You can see Simon really thinking as they sit at the end of the set. Trying to figure out what to do next.

 

[Fliiix]

Pouille showing once again just how clutch he is. He basically handed a bagel to Simon after almost getting one.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

My view.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Jesus this could be one long match. 1 hour 17 minutes down and only at game 2 in the 2nd set.

This games been about 10 minutes.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Pouille breaks to love straight away. Crazy match.

 

[Meles]

Pouille showing once again just how clutch he is. He basically handed a bagel to Simon after almost getting one.

That's my take on Pouille. The most clutch tennis player I've ever seen and I've seen Sampras and his serve. Pouille is mentally amazing. He's completely owned Simon at his own cat and mouse game. A real pleasure of a match. Simon used to be one of my favorites when he made 6 in the world. I'm seeing that player out done and its pretty amazing.
