I think dimitrov and raonic have a good chance here to win a GS, nadal and federer have won too many

Edit- I forgot Stan, he's the favourite now

Milos will probably be slight fav with bookies once they update after this result.

Better half of the draw.

Milos is good but his tactics are a bit sus imo makes questionable decisions when someone gets on top of him

Maybe, but he should have got to the final last year, I like his draw a lot. Dimitrov, Goffin and Thiem the best players in his side, all players he should beat if on song.

Then Stan, Federer or Kei in the final, no fears their either especially as he had wins over the 2 Switzerland lads in Slams last year.

He lost to dimitrov in Dubai semi just before the slam, dimitrov is in red hot form atm

Absolutely gutting. He really deserves at least one Australian before he's done.

Wide open tournament now. Imagine a Federer/Nadal final! Probably not likely.

Fed struggling against Nish, definitely not at his best, lots of unforced errors

Ch 7 have really dropped the ball only having one of the 3 stations showing tennis today. The matches on Rod Laver are good matches for sure but it is pretty poor that we've not been able to watch Stan, Muguruza, Tsonga etc today on TV.

EDIT - So Raonic's match could be a tie-break in the first set (since it may start 1 hour earlier) and 7 will cut to Gavrilova pre-match since she is an Aussie.

Federer looks sublime here, hope he finishes the job.

Roger is dancing around the court now. It's incredible how well he's maintained his level and his body to be able to play this well against a top player at 35.

 

[vcs]

And Nishikori is just a complete mess right now.

 

[indiaholic]

Shhhh... Don't jinx this.

 

[vcs]

Tough hold there from Nishikori.

 

[vcs]

And now he breaks. Poor game from Federer there.

 

[DriveClub]

5 setter here, were going the distance

 

[indiaholic]

Yussssss!!!!!!

Good win by Federer. Especially after his 6 month break. Hope he goes further in this open.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ability still there, only question is whether the fitness will be to back it up again after a tough match. Hope it is but looks like Stan could be heading for grand slam win number 4 next weekend.

For anybody who missed it: Roger Federer - Backhand Around the Net Post vs Kei Nishikori - TubeUnblock

Wouldn't he have to beat Needles on the way to the final?
