I think barty will win it all

Gee we went from a possible Rod Laver arena session of Serena v Wozniacki to an outside court of Wang v Jabeur. Ouch for the tournament.

Yeah too bad actual tournament attendees aren’t your usual TT crowd. In the real world it’s a disappointing outcome.

Neither was winning the title tho so there’s that.

 

[vsdtrek]

While ESPN viewers are rejoicing.

Seriously. I’m so glad I have ESPN3 because that has some local announcing crew. I can’t stand the sycophants on the main ESPN channel.

 

[James P]

I think barty will win it all

Looking strong. Wouldn't surprise me, but I'm sticking with my Osaka pick.

 

[H22 fan]

I think barty will win it all

Looks like, but still root for Halep.

For those who might not know, Melbourne has a massive Greek population, in fact, besides Athens, Melbourne is actually the second largest city in terms of Greek population. So Sakkari gets a lot of support here.

She’s serving to send Keys packing.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Sakkari sends Keys home.

Into the 4R. Great win for her.

 

[spystud]

Fly home safely, Madison.

 

[insideguy]

Keys just has no plan b ever. She always trys to paint lines.

 

[time_fly]

Madison Keys looked awful. She was taking routine rally balls and spraying them all over the place.

 

[nolefam_2024]

First time in her career Serena played 8 Grand Slam events in a row without profit of title.

Best 2 years

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Keys just has no plan b ever. She always trys to paint lines.

She’s hoping for an Ostapenko like tournament where her all or nothing approach works. Almost did it in 2017 but Sloane knew what to do at that US Open final.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Brainless ballbasher sad

 

[spystud]

Riske/Goerges playing 3.

 

[Midaso240]

Riske doing all she can to derail the dream Goerges-Barty doubles partner match,looking the stronger player the last 30 mins or so but hopefully Jules can pull it around!

 

[spystud]

Ali wins.

Nice hug at net.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Goerges really choked in the final set. She’s owes me $60.

ESPN talking up Coco like she has a chance against Osaka. I expected Naomi to win 3 and 2.

 

[Josh Lyman]

Riske just said “s h i t e” twice on ESPN

 

[PDJ]

Every time Serena loses an angel gets his wings.

That made me laugh

 

[WDC]

Surely Williams will retire now?

 

[helixx]

great news. serena and woz out.

 

[insideguy]

Ok out of the three American women playing today early. Who picked Riske to be the one to win That girl has found something the last 12 months.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Yeah too bad actual tournament attendees aren’t your usual TT crowd. In the real world it’s a disappointing outcome.

Neither was winning the title tho so there’s that.

I love Jabeur! Too bad she is just not consistent.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Ok out of the three American women playing today early. Who picked Riske to be the one to win That girl has found something the last 12 months.

Including getting married!

 

[Harry_Wild]

Allison Riske is an AO seeded player at #18. She won over Goerge in 3 sets.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

great news. serena and woz out.

Pretty glorious day.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Thank goodness for Wang and Ons. We’re spared the teary BFF spectacle that we were threatened with.

You bet.
Such a relief.

 

[PDJ]

You bet.
Such a relief.

Having seen Williams Press Conference I can only agree. That said, I'd hoped Wozniacki would go deeper in to the draw given it's her last tournament.
Good luck to her.

 

[Sysyphus]

lmao

Gauff is a great athlete, impressive competitive mind as well. Scary to think she's still only 15.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Having seen Williams Press Conference I can only agree. That said, I'd hoped Wozniacki would go deeper in to the draw given it's her last tournament.
Good luck to her.

Yeah, but you never know, she might still make a comeback.
Serena, however, will keep playing until she gets #24.

 

[Sysyphus]

Osaka is also disintegrating, that must be said.

Error machine, cannot make a backhand to save her life ATM.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Gee, if Coco can take Osaka out she can win the title.

 

[Mike Sams]

Completely different version of Gauff today against Osaka than the US Open. Very aggressive and causing Osaka to have a meltdown.

 

[ChrisRF]

Gee, if Coco can take Osaka out she can win the title.

I hope Coco will win the title, but I’d say there are more dangerous opponents than Osaka in the draw.

However, don’t get me wrong, it would be a HUGE win for Coco today and another step after Wimbledon and US Open.

 

[Sysyphus]

atrocious volleys from Gauff, tho. Still some things to learn – thankfully.

 

[helixx]

I miss Bianca. She would never lose that set to her.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Looks like Guaff could win against Osaka. Osaka is making a lot of unforced errors!

 

[helixx]

Osaka 14/26 w/ue

Gauff 6/16

 

[Mike Sams]

2 time Slam Champion and former #1 in the prime of her career losing to a 15 year old

 

[helixx]

Andreescu would never.

 

[Mike Sams]

Osaka 14/26 w/ue

Gauff 6/16

This match overall quality-wise is complete dog poop

 

[helixx]

This match overall quality-wise is complete dog poop

Osakas been terrible. Gauff just needed to get the ball over the net and osaka did all the work for her.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Osaka out!!!

Wow. What a win for Coco Gauff!!

 

[Mike Sams]

Osakas been terrible. Gauff just needed to get the ball over the net and osaka did all the work for her.

Yup. Osaka is muscling the ball. Like in her mind she's thinking "I ain't losing to no 15 year old!"
She's completely imploding. She'll go into depression if she loses this and may not get over it for a while and end up in a slump.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

wow Coco.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

lololol

 

[helixx]

Disgust

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Some of her shot on 2nd set are embarrassing! Sis is imploding!

 

[Sysyphus]

Dayum

major upset

Gauff is not going anywhere, that seems certain.

Not a performance Naomi will be happy with, though. Bad.

 

[Mike Sams]

Coco Gauff needs some PR lessons on how to talk and present herself in public. A bit too much "Oh my God...like...oh my god..."
