can he keeps this up ?

Inshallah

 

[I Am Finnish]

No doubt new court helping Thiem's game. But that brain needs some more work for him to be contending the AO title.

Only if he can fix his returns

 

[I Am Finnish]

Inshallah

Yallah yallah

 

[James P]

Thiem could end up with 50 titles when it's all said and done. His mom is going to look like a freak!

The Illustrated Woman but quite a different tone than Ray Bradbury’s classic collection of sci fi short stories entitled The Illustrated Man.

So nadal's potential path to meet djokovic/federer in final kyrgios thiem meddy/Wawrinka/zverev/rublev

[The Guru]

What is Wawrinka's meme name?
If Fed = Fred
Nadal = Ned/Ralph
Djokovic = Joe (Kovic)
Thiem = Tim
Zverev = Zed(rot) Ziraffe
etc. what is Stan?

 

[James P]

What is Wawrinka's meme name?
If Fed = Fred
Nadal = Ned/Ralph
Djokovic = Joe (Kovic)
Thiem = Tim
Zverev = Zed(rot) Ziraffe

Stanimal

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Medvedev out!! Wawrinka wins!

 

[insideguy]

Why can't these young guys deal with these old guys. Its always the same story. Its ridiculous

 

[BGod]

Liking my Stan pick.

Nadal's draw now absolutely brutal:
Kyrgios
Thiem
Stan
Fed/Novak

If he wins a 2nd here he'll have earned it.

 

[Mainad]

Why can't these young guys deal with these old guys. Its always the same story. Its ridiculous

They Young Guns just cannot match the Old Guys for mental strength and staying power. I doubt they ever will.

This is an awful blow for The NextGen following Tsitsipas' ignominious exit!

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Why is the official AO app so entirely rubbish? It is easier to check the live scores on Google ...

[Aussie Darcy]

I know all eyes are on Nadal/Kyrgios but I’m courtside for Zverev/Rublev.

SLAMINAL

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Zverev in the zone!

Up a set and break already.

 

[stringertom]

Wawa looking sexy

No way! He’s just a backhand with a haircut! Or so I have read on this forum.

 

[Dilexson]

Oops

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fixed

Looking good Zverev

 

[phl92]

someone watching Zverev's matches? After the ATP cup I counted him out for some months. But he is crushing every game winning in straight sets

 

[mightyjeditribble]

Streetgoat looking good.

I think he and Raonic are the only players left who haven't lost a set?

Zvaonic final?

(Sent from my mobile phone, apologies for typos!)

 

[abmk]

Zverev through to his first non-RG QF, first AO QF , without losing a set - cechinnato, verdasco and rublev ? that is interesting.

 

[Berasategui94]

Zverev to beat Wawrinka? He leads the H2H 2-0 so why not, or will he fold again like he always has in grand slams before?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Has not lost a set yet lets goooooo

 

[Mainad]

Who would have thought that Zverev, of all people, would be the only one left standing to try and save the honour of the NextGen at this Slam???

 

[phl92]

no one and I felt comfortable with that thought

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Very winnable match for Zverev. Stan wasn't that impressive against Med. Keep in mind he needed 4 sets to beat Dzumhur, 5 sets to beat Seppi, and received a retirement from Isner in his 3 matches before Med.

 

[Mainad]

Thiem's mum gets a tattoo for every title Thiem wins There's plenty of minor clay tournaments out there Thiem's mum

I guess it's a good job the Big 3 mums aren't doing the same!!!

 

[TennisFan3]

I don't know which tennis player is GOAT. But this is definitely GOAT celebration. Love this Gif. THanks.

The two I've seen used are Stanimal and Stan the Man.

It's his fvcking time now.

 

[GrassCourtFan]

Zverev sneaking through the draw - has yet to lose a set! This is super unusual for him in Slams, usually he gets taken to 5 in the early rounds by nobodies and then gets taken out.

This time he's coming into his big test (QF with Stanimal) basically completely fresh.

 

[I Am Finnish]

It's his fvcking time now.

This is my f*cking court

 

[James P]

Speaking of freshness, some stats coming into the QFs.

Time on Court
09:48 Nadal (3 three set matches, 1 four set match, most recent match 3:38/four set)
10:23 Thiem (2 three set matches, 1 four set match, 1 five set match, most recent match 1:50/three set)

11:04 Wawrinka (1 two set match/retirement, 1 four set match, 2 five set matches, most recent 3:25/five set)
08:15 Zverev (4 three set matches, most recent 1:37/three set)

10:42 Sandgren (2 three set matches, 1 four set match, 1 five set match, 1 back to back day 2 & 3, most recent 3:27/four set)
09:07 Federer (2 three set matches, 1 four set match, 1 five set match, most recent 2:11/four set)

07:22 Djokovic (3 three set matches, 1 four set match, most recent 2:06/three set)

Excellent stats. If it were only possible to get the amount run for each player. The order of hierarchy would be significantly different.

How has Fed spent even less time on the court than Nadal?

 

[James P]

How has Fed spent even less time on the court than Nadal?

His first two matches, combined, were less time on the court than Nadal's Kyrgios match. Only 1:21 vs Johnson and 1:32 vs Krajinovic.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Rafa is still The Man In The Game at the 2020 AO!

 

[Deleted member 629564]

Djokovic, Raonic and Zverev the most fresh.
Wawrinka and Sandgren the most tired.

 

[James P]

Federer giving me the finger, wtf.

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

Impressive run by Zverev so far!!!!
love it!

 

[TheGhostOfAgassi]

That’s some very good seats you have got there!!

now that the first match is over, will the Nadal match start, or do we still have to wait another 2 hours?
