ATP 250: Sydney APIA International 11-17 January

[Supertegwyn]

His footwork is all over the place, barely in position to hit a ball at any stage.

 

[Supertegwyn]

We've finally got a match on our hands.

 

[okdude1992]

Wow this match is a change of pace from the typical extended baseline rallies. Every point is like 3 shots haha

 

[Tennis wizard]

Janowicz in total beast mode .. He has rarely missed a first serve

 

[Supertegwyn]

Jerzy saves set point with a blistering forehand.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Jerzy makes Raonic look like Simon.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Kyrgious must be thinking why him of all people does jano have to play like a total beast

 

[Supertegwyn]

Jerzy serves an ace that gets called a let. You can see the rage forming on his face as he argues with the umpire.

 

[okdude1992]

Lol, now Nick knows how it feels to play himself. I feel like both these guys would be a lot better if they could add just a bit of defense and consistency to their games

 

[TrustTheNinja]

The neutral party is hoping for a third set. LETS GO KYRGIOS

 

[TrustTheNinja]

LOL... Is Janowicz's middle name Sharapova?

 

[Supertegwyn]

Jerzy double faults to hand the set over. 6-1 6-7

 

[Wynter]

DF

Even though Woodbridge called it an ace...

3rd set tb

 

[okdude1992]

Recurring theme with Jerzy, throwing in the double to gift the set away

 

[Tennis wizard]

didn't he do the same thing against john isner LOL .. kudos to nick for sticking in there

 

[Supertegwyn]

Didn't Jerzy have the most double faults of anyone on tour last year? He goes for everything on his serve.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Second service ace from Kyrgios.

 

[Warmaster]

One does not simply beat Kyrgios in a tiebreak.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Amazing shot from Jerzy to take the game after an excellent Kyrgios passing shot.

 

[Attila_the_gorilla]

Kyrgios must be the most annoying ***** to play against. On big points he starts grunting once the ball has almost crossed the net, it's the most obvious distraction tactic. What a pathetic low-life.

Have you heard Jerzy? He grunts on almost every point. He was basically screaming in the first set when he was pounding forehands.

 

[Josh Lyman]

This match is tiring just to watch. Jerzy looks exhausted and they're absolutely killing the ball out there.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Jerzy saves two break points.

 

[TrustTheNinja]

Massive hold by Janowicz

 

[Supertegwyn]

Second breaker to decide the match. I'm feeling Jerzy for this one.

 

[Wynter]

3-4 Jerzy with the mini-break

 

[Tennis wizard]

kyrgios gave up like a lil ***** fight through the pain

 

[Supertegwyn]

Jerzy wins 6-1 6-7 7-6. A lot closer than it looked like it would be at the beginning but not quite good enough from Kyrgios. GOATing Jerzy played great tennis throughout the match and was able to take it with that one Kyrgios error.

 

[Supertegwyn]

Kyrgios actually won more points in that third set (43 to 39) than Jerzy.

Should have broke jerzy several times.. went down a level when it counted

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Janowicz showing he is the boss in town.

 

[llodra_fan]

Wow !! Del Potro is ripping his forehand ! And I think having left wrist pain might actually pay dividend to him on the long run. He's using slices a lot more which will only get better with practice and also adds variety. He is also running around to hit forehand which surprising he didn't do it enough before and his serve also seems to get a bit better.

On the other hand, Fognini decided to show up and hitting strokes pretty smooth. Going to be a very interesting and entertaining match.

 

[-snake-]

And the Fog breaks...

 

[-snake-]

Delpo vamosing lol

 

[-snake-]

Pegasus breaks back

 

[-snake-]

Fognini breaks back :lol:

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

that forehand from Fognini was a rocket!

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Fognini looks so calm, did he swallow some pills? :twisted:

 

[-snake-]

6-4 Fognini

 

[furryballs]

do these guys look rusty?

 

[-snake-]

Ehrm, yes they do.

 

[furryballs]

so every player at the AO will be rusty?

 

[furryballs]

rusty or tired

 

[furryballs]

or maybe in some cases injured

 

[furryballs]

[-snake-]

6-2 Del Potro :lol:

 

[-snake-]

It's not as slow as the AO, that's for sure.

 

[furryballs]

[-snake-]

Haha nah, it's medium i'd say.
