2026 Australian Open QF: Anisimova (4) v. Pegula (6)

[spystud]

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

heart Pegula but I think Amanda will go through

 

[spystud]

@Nostradamus, you can watch this one on ESPN2, assuming hoops doesn't go into 2OT.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Hope it's better than the first one. Ribs/Iga are not moving the tennis needle. Zero charisma on that court.
Amanda and Jessica are no Laverne and Shirley either.

 

[spystud]

Ha, they really are going to 2OT.

 

[spystud]

We are underway, AA serving.

 

[spystud]

And JPeg promptly breaks at love.

 

[spystud]

Alright, AA saves a BP to hold.

 

[MotorCityCobra]

I think Pegula will take this in 3

 

[spystud]

@Nostradamus, hoops is over. Join us in here.

 

[spystud]

Well, this is already a double break.

 

[bezs]

JPeg starting red hot.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Jpeg in 2 will be sweet

 

[spystud]

This is real bad.

 

[GoKenin]

Jessica is working Amanda over.

 

[spystud]

7 quick damn games.

 

[Midaso240]

I don't mind JPeg as a person, but man her game does nothing for me

 

[zvelf]

Given how this tournament has gone, if Pegula wins the first set, she's going to win this in straights.

 

[Nostradamus]

@Nostradamus, hoops is over. Join us in here.

this match suck just as bad as the first one

 

[spystud]

Well, that set sucked.

Figure something out, AA.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Pegula is solid but you just know she’s going to be an absolute punching bag for Sabalenka. It’s like the men’s equivalent of Ferrer running into Federer.

 

[HarveyPitnik]

I don't mind JPeg as a person, but man her game does nothing for me

I don't care about neither.

C'mon Amanda! Turn this around and remove the last annoying player from the ladies singles draw!

 

[tx10is]

hoping for the usual wta 3 sets but this tournament has been nothing but one sided beat downs lol

 

[spystud]

Yeah, we need a damn good match for the first time in a long minute.

 

[spystud]

3 BPs saved.

 

[spystud]

Alright, we have a hold.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Pegula is solid but you just know she’s going to be an absolute punching bag for Sabalenka. It’s like the men’s equivalent of Ferrer running into Federer.

Stay in the present oldtimer. Match isn't over yet.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

I don't care about neither.

C'mon Amanda! Turn this around and remove the last annoying player from the ladies singles draw!

So, you don't like smart well spoken women, but you do like blondes who say "like" ever five words?

 

[spystud]

That service game was a little easier.

 

[spystud]

@Mr.Lob, come on over.

 

[Mr.Lob]

@Mr.Lob, come on over.

LOL. Ok. Thx

 

[spystud]

5 holds so far in this one.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Hopefully Anisimova makes this a 3 set match. Up 3-2 in 2nd.

 

[bezs]

Amanda's body language not encouraging.

 

[spystud]

7 straight holds.

 

[spystud]

And here we go, 2 BPs.

 

[spystud]

Boom, there's the break.

 

[tx10is]

lets go AA

 

[Mr.Lob]

A.A up 4-3. Relaxing a bit more. Now has 2 b.ps. My feed is about a minute behind.

 

[spystud]

Well, that lead was short-lived.

 

[tx10is]

well chit

 

[Mr.Lob]

Double faulted on break point. Ouch.

 

[spystud]

5-all, hold here.

 

[time_fly]

Ani-miss-ova. Tough to watch. So much talent, so many errors.

 

[spystud]

She should have asked for a replay of that serve just to be funny.

 

[Mr.Lob]

That had to be top 10 worse ever serves. Missed wide by 15 yards.

 

[spystud]

That was quite the reaction after winning a point.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Serving like Coco now. 7 d.f's

 

[spystud]

Welp, this is over. No deciding drama.

 

[marc45]

She should have asked for a replay of that serve just to be funny.

seems more Bublikian
