2025 Australian Open - General Discussion for Men's Singles

[dking68]

That is true. If anyone hands him the L in a major HC final it certainly will be sinner. To be fair to sinner even in those matches lost last year they were all by very narrow margins.

Right and he was clearly injured at IW. At Beijing, Sinner had the WADA re-appeal playing on his mind yet almost won in straight sets

 

[Daniel Andrade]

This was the quarter of the draw that was already wide open! Now it’s completely blown up.

One of the following will be in the Aus Open SF’s:
Monfils
Shelton
Musetti
Sonego
Marozsan
Moutet
Tien

That’s… crazy. A section that had Fritz, Mpetshi, Rublev, Wawrinka, Tiafoe, Popyrin and Medvedev.

Plz let it be Tien

 

[Daniel Andrade]

I just want that guy gone.

I want you gone

 

[Daniel Andrade]

What language is this Karen.

It's the ligma language

 

[Vincent-C]

I think with his old coach back in his camp, Rune might have a shot.

Who's Rune's coach this week?

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

Youngest American into the 4R of the AO since Sampras in 1990.

... sampras being himself the youngest since ivanisevic the year before!
(lost to mecir in the QF at 17)

is becker the youngest player (open era) to have played reached a R16 match at the AO? (QF in 1984 at 16?)
(among all the slams, i assume it's krickstein at the 1983 USO, barely 16 y.o.?)

PS: the end of the noah-sampras match...

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

LOL @ Fritz losing to a dude that was in topspin 1 on the original Xbox. Major mug tour today

 

[nolefam_2024]

I want you gone

I also want you gone but that won't work.

I want monfils the pusher gone. Completely.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

I want monfils the pusher gone. Completely.

But that won't work either

 

[Clemson_tennis]

How much of a chance do you guys think Lehecka has vs Djokovic ?

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Rune is the best player in the world, he manages to be competitive without a forehand

What lmao

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Today is today, but what has set him back Simce he won Paris is precisely not being lethal enough with his forehand, when he IS at his best, he actually wins matches with his backhand, yeah his forehand sometimes is on and can be good, but match to match consistency is horrible with that shot, even in todays match there were patches where you could see his forehand is a liability, i like rune, i want him to do good but its obvious that whats sets him back is the forehand, his backhand is strong and consistent, can defend and attack good with It, serve is quite good, movement good, all court game is good, but his forehand is too patchy, and often fails to do damage with It, in my opinión, if his forehand was on par with the rest of his game he would be higher in the rankings

Thoughts on this statement ttw ?

 

[TripleATeam]

How much of a chance do you guys think Lehecka has vs Djokovic ?

20-25%. Pretty much is on if Djokovic wakes up on the wrong side of the bed.

 

[nolefam_2024]

How much of a chance do you guys think Lehecka has vs Djokovic ?

30%
Which is fair.

I gave sinner 35% chance vs Nole last year and he almost bageled our guy. 30% is not bad at all.

 

[Rosstour]

How much of a chance do you guys think Lehecka has vs Djokovic ?

0%, but in yellow

 

[Olli Jokinen]

Who's Rune's coach this week?

It's good old Lars. And he's back for good I think.

 

[Olli Jokinen]

... and youngest (all countries) since ivanisevic the year before!

PS: the end of the noah-sampras match...

Noah sure had a pretty serve.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Nothing changes even after fed and nadal retirement.

Every slam page count goes past 70 so that's about 3500 + posts for every slam.

New players keep coming, old keep going out. It's a circle of life.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Less than 2500 posts here . All big 3 still active

2019 US Open - Women's Singles - General Discussion

Mugu Hsieh first round Osaka. What a nightmare.

3100 here , Federer won this tournament

2017 Wimbledon Men's Final: [3] Roger Federer (SUI) vs. [7] Marin Cilic (HR)

You realize Fed has made 4 babies with Mirka, a former tennis pro herself? I'm sure the Fed kids will turn out to be amazing athletes.

Nothing changes. Even after legends are gone the sport keeps moving on.


@Pheasant

 

[vokazu]

Now you are exaggerating.

It did happen lol. They gave Cruz an easy opponent who is very short. Tennis Australia is trying hard to make sure Cruz won the first round this time, unlike last year lol.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Monfils has no ambition. Sad to see Fritz go.

 

[Pheasant]

This is always a dangerous thought.

I'm eating my words right now. I'm very disappointed with Fritz right now. I really expected to see him in the semis against Sinner. And I would have picked Sinner in 4 very tough sets. Nope. It turns out that the 38 year old Monfils finished off Fritz in 4 sets.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

everyone is playing for second place. No one is beating sinner here. Unless Djoker turns back the clock 2 years. Which he won’t

 

[RSJfan]

Fritz needs to win that kind of matchup. It’s right up there with losing to Holt at a Major; worse actually.
But I got you beat. I kinda thought Shelton had a decent chance to beat Egg at the 2023 USO semis.

Gael Monfils loves being a star, and he contributes our top seed so far by felling Fritz in four

Edit: added Musetti, fixed the seeding

 

[jarko111]

Djokovic has struggled against players that aren't really giving him power. Players that stay in the long points.
I am really excited about tonight's match. I hope I can stay up late enough to see it.
I mean, I think Djokovic will be fine. But Jiri can take the racket out of your hand.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Cmon Tommy bae

 

[tx10is]

Now for the men's matches lfg

 

[MichaelNadal]

Alcaraz getting broken back

 

[Smecz]

Sorry,but tournaments slams are getting more and more boring...!!!

Everyone plays practically the same,with small difference.!!!

I watch it, because I love Tennis,but it's very sad

 

[tx10is]

tommy paul going to be done quick

 

[RSJfan]

Can Paul close this one.

Mugpack representing.

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Wow Davidovich Fokina must be a carbivore, because he ate 3 breadsticks courtesy of Tommy Paul.

 

[kevin qmto]

Did anyone else see Davidovich Fokina start clapping along with the “let’s go Tommy” chant someone bizarrely started at 5/1 in the 3rd lol?

 

[MichaelNadal]

Wow Davidovich Fokina must be a carbivore, because he ate 3 breadsticks courtesy of Tommy Paul.

[Winner Sinner]

Mensik is an idiot.
Before making statements about carelessness, he should ask himself how he managed to lose a match he had in hand against a player who today collected a paltry 3 games.

 

[Tennfan123]

Lord this has been a meh slam middle Sunday.

 

[tx10is]

Lord this has been a meh slam middle Sunday.

yeah these 2 matches have been disappointing hopefully the next 2 are better. feel sorry for fans who bought tickets

 

[Tennfan123]

Draper so loved here despite having no fitness and one dimensional game. Lol.

 

[Rosstour]

Draper out

 

[MichaelNadal]

Cmon Chainz

 

[Winner Sinner]

I'm watching the replay of the last final in Paris Bercy and I didn't notice?

 

[Winner Sinner]

Zverev is literally bullying Humbert.

If it wasn't Zverev, I'd start to worry.

 

[Winner Sinner]

Of the 6 sets played today in the men's singles matches, 5 ended 6-1, good but not great.

Let's hope that the match between Djokovic and Lehecka in terms of emotion and balance can save this absolutely interlocutory day so far.

Now watch Novak deliver some bakery products to make this day more delicious

 

[Down_the_line]

Lol at the sudden Humbert screaming. These returns he's coming up with though, holy!

 

[bluetrain4]

Zverev is going to lose, isn't he? He dominated the first set and he's only down one break, but it has that "Chainz is going to lose" vibe.

 

[SeeingDusk]

Humbert with the break, 3-2
