Australian Open 2016 Official Thread

[Wynter]

Surprised everyone went for Paire in the SDL, Rubin's a good if relatively unknown prospect. Nice to see he's up a set, anyone been watching and able to comment on how he's been playing?

 

[ArcspacE]

Told you. He was following Monfils.

Bore off

 

[Wynter]

Dimitrov looking good.

Will win Wimbledon?

 

[Wynter]

Rubin breaks 3-2

 

[ruerooo]

Querrey retiring going into the fifth.

Anybody have an idea what happened?

 

[norbac]

Will win Wimbledon?

If he wears a wife beater there as well I like his chances.

 

[ArcspacE]

There is a new 'shot' I'm seeing more and more this year - cross-court BH with heavy top spin

Or am I imagining this?

Querrey retiring going into the fifth.

Getting reports of pain in his back.

Wow. Paire was an overwhelming favorite.

 

[The Green Mile]

Wow. Paire was an overwhelming favorite.

Paire shouldn't be an overwhelming favourite in any match, lol...

Getting reports of pain in his back.

Too much party can hurt your chances

 

[romeo8880]

OMG, this beats the Ljubicic gif

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Wow. Paire was an overwhelming favorite.

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

I wouldnt say Rubin is a good prospect, I think he's too small. However, he is very scrappy, doesnt beat himself, and has reliable groundies off both sides.

Paire clearly has a crappy forehand, sorta like Gulbis, and everyone knows. Paire knows that everyone knows, so Rubin is gonna continue to play to Paire's forehand and wait for the error.

 

[gn]

Paire 2 sets down

 

[gn]

Paire gets early break in the 3rd set.

 

[Novak And The Net.]

Just LOL at Paire. Such a headcase. Has he even came back from 2 sets down?

 

[The Green Mile]

There was his match with Kyrgios at the AO in 2014. Funny match it was.

 

[ArcspacE]

Young Wife-beater ftw

 

[The Green Mile]

Fed and Basil coming onto court any moment now...

 

[Fedinkum]

He has been on court for a while now. How do you like his sleeveless look?

 

[Feather]

It's okay. Troll Tennis is wondering whether it's baby Rafa or baby Federer. lots of confusions in the virtual world

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Just switch on tele...and OMG...Grigor's chicken arms look so sexie...lol

That sleeveless look does not suit him imo.

 

[gn]

Haha! I completely forgot Fed is No.3
And a question: Is it too late for Paire to improve his forehand?

 

[norbac]

It's okay. Troll Tennis is wondering whether it's baby Rafa or baby Federer. lots of confusions in the virtual world

Let's hope Tomic sports the sleeveless as well!

 

[The Green Mile]

2 backhand dtl winners in a row?

 

[gn]

It's okay. Troll Tennis is wondering whether it's baby Rafa or baby Federer. lots of confusions in the virtual world

Lol. good one

 

[The Green Mile]

Jesus. Great stuff early on. 3rd backhand dtl for 2 BPs...

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Immense rallies to open this match. Such winners from Rogr! Still, it looks hard work out there...

 

[ArcspacE]

Can't believe Lorenzi is gonna take the TB - embarassing

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Why is there no fedr r1 fred?

 

[PeteD]

Rog got the guy spooked

 

[AceSalvo]

half volley BHDTL.. wont see those again after Fed retires..

 

[Fedinkum]

That sleeveless look does not suit him imo.

Just for the record...I was making fun of Grigorlor the Giggolo. Nike needs Rafa to wear that piece.

 

[tennis_pro]

Insane bh winners DTL from Federer, like 3 already. All 3 half-volleys too, insane stuff.
