[Noleberic123]

the number 1 seed Fabio fognini will lose the in the first round. You heard it here first

 

[Wynter]

Compared to Brisbane this one looks Average

Tomic/Kyrgios Final ftw

 

[tennisaddict]

I am going with Benny for his first ATP title.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I am going with Benny for his first ATP title.

A bold move.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Compared to Brisbane this one looks Average

Tomic/Kyrgios Final ftw

I'll be seeing the final live so I would love that

the number 1 seed Fabio fognini will lose the in the first round. You heard it here first

How he got such a high ranking I don't know.

 

[Underhand]

Strange tournament where Fognini is the 1st seed.

 

[-snake-]

Tough draw for Delpo.

 

[TheMusicLover]

I see chances for Goffin.

 

[ThomasGB]

Awful draw for Delpo. Where's Kokkinakis? Thought he would've entered this tournament.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Awful draw for Delpo. Where's Kokkinakis? Thought he would've entered this tournament.

Probably resting before the AO.

 

[Noleberic123]

Whats todays schedule like?

 

[Fedinkum]

Going for Delpo!! Hope he can do well.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Matosevic getting clobbered by Bolelli.

 

[Supertegwyn]

And the Aussie goes down 6-3 6-2

 

[Supertegwyn]

Del Potro and Stakhovsky on court now.

 

[Nostradamus]

EXO match ? Federer vs hewitt

That's the FastFour format they played yesterday.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Tomic comes roaring out of the blocks, taking the first set 6-1 over Sijsling.

 

[Supertegwyn]

And Tomic wins 6-1 6-2. Comfortable win for the big Aussie; can he defend his points from last year (or even add to them)?

 

[jaggy]

Very nice result for Tomic

 

[Wynter]

Tomic wrecks Sijsling, not expecting that.

 

[The_Order]

Hard for me to get excited about Tomic.

He needs to really change his attitude, not tank a slam match ever again and put some really hard work in.

Good win for him today though, won more comfortably than I thought he would.

 

[mule250]

pospisil looked good in hopman cup, him for the win

 

[Supertegwyn]

Why has Tomic dropped 17 places in the rankings? He is defending a final in Sydney but he added points in Brisbane (since he didn't play it last year).

 

[Wynter]

Why has Tomic dropped 17 places in the rankings? He is defending a final in Sydney but he added points in Brisbane (since he didn't play it last year).

Hasn't quite made the 150 back? Mayhaps

 

[Supertegwyn]

Hasn't quite made the 150 back? Mayhaps

But don't points drop at the end of the tournament? Doesn't really make sense for the ATP to drop his ranking whilst he's still playing.

 

[Nostradamus]

Tomic comes roaring out of the blocks, taking the first set 6-1 over Sijsling.

he is mad from that loss to Kei last week. he was embarrassed in his own home..

 

[Nostradamus]

EOWOW..............NEW star is born. Mugaruza takes out Aga Radwanska... Aga was supremely confident too after taking out Serena for the first time....................BUT NO match against Mugaruza................

 

[Nostradamus]

Why does Stosur suck so bad in OZ. going down to Strycova. this is a match she should be winning.............lol

 

[Supertegwyn]

Groth breaks Muller before inexplicably being broken himself. Has another break point on Muller's serve now.

 

[Supertegwyn]

And Groth takes the first set 6-3.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Muller responds, taking the second 6-3

 

[Supertegwyn]

Second serve ace at 190km for Groth.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Muller to serve for the match at 6-5

 

[Fedinkum]

Why does Stosur suck so bad in OZ. going down to Strycova. this is a match she should be winning.............lol

I think Stosur's tennis sucks...simple as that. I was never a fan of her brute force tennis. I think she is a perfect example of athletic fitness is not everything in tennis.

 

[Supertegwyn]

And Groth breaks to take it into a breaker.

 

[Supertegwyn]

I think Stosur's tennis sucks...simple as that. I was never a fan of her brute force tennis. I think she is a perfect example of athletic fitness is not everything in tennis.

She has arguably the most modern game of the WTA, but her brain isn't there.

 

[Supertegwyn]

And Muller edges it in the third. 3-6 6-3 7-6

Groth double faulting to give it to Muller. Disappointing in the end.

 

[JJGUY]

Tomic def. Sijsling 6:1 6:2 in 43 mins
Troicki def. Klizan 6:2 6:3 in 48 mins

win or lose, no one is interested in long rally, I suppose :twisted:

 

[idioteque]

I really hope the way we here in Australia are hyping Kyrgios isn't gonna break him before he can make it. I'd hate to see him go down the Tsgona route and become just a clowning crowd pleaser that can't generate his own internal fire and motivation required to get to the very top.

 

[Nostradamus]

I think Stosur's tennis sucks...simple as that. I was never a fan of her brute force tennis. I think she is a perfect example of athletic fitness is not everything in tennis.

Ahhhh well,,,,,,,,, She Beat Serena Williams to win the US open few years ago...................... 99 % of the girls in WTA will take that kind of career....

 

[okdude1992]

Hoping Delpo sails through the Fog and continues his comeback.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Kyrgios starts his 2015 campaign.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Kyrgios looking very rusty and off form; dumps an easy forehand into the net to surrender the first break of the match. 4-1 Jerzy

 

[Supertegwyn]

Kyrgios moving sluggishly around the court.

 

[rainingaces]

Getting used to the overhyping on here, Janowicz does everything better at this stage in their careers.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Janowicz = King

 

[Supertegwyn]

Kyrgios can't return a serve to save his life right now.
