Just caught that, bit behind with the news and stuff.. hasn’t played since Wimbledon? . Tis a worry. Heard some talk of retiring.

Federer vs Zverev in the Hopman Cup. Zverev won the first set but looks to have given up now.

Trying to work up some enthusiasm for the Australian Open. The Ashes have dampened it somewhat considerably.

 

[harsh.ag]

They really do schedule this too early.

It's usually the best Slam of the year in terms of quality of tennis, but we don't know about how fit and ready Nadal and Djokovic are. Murray is out. Not sure about Stan, Kei etc. Federer looks fit. Hopefully one of Dimitrov, Kyrgios and Zverev will step up.

i am fairly sure federer won't repeat this year...i can see novak winning his 7th aussie open...or even someone like zverev if he can conjure up the stamina for best 3 of 5 sets over 7 matches...

Wow, Bencic beats Williams impressively!

Venus has had a few early exits in Melbourne.

 

[Ausage]

Tomic is such a giant douche.

 

[_Ed_]

Isner and Anderson gone...

 

[harsh.ag]

Tomic is following a douchey version of Zen.

Nadal seems to have got a pretty friendly draw.

I see Estrella-Burgos is really putting up a fight.

 

[_Ed_]

Promising start by Kyrgios. Hopefully he's turned a corner.

 

[Niall]

Just looking at Rafa's quarter betting wise....

How drunk would he have to be to lose to one of them?

Also must stop putting money on Coco to win slams, its unlikely to happen and more importantly I can't get as much satisfaction out of her losing as I should. Dire person.

 

[Ausage]

I'm not a Kyrgios fan but at least he gives a ****.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm not a Kyrgios fan but at least he gives a ****.

Sometimes he doesn't tbh.

Who is Jana Fett?

On the brink of taking out Wozniacki who did really well in 2017.

 

[vcs]

Bencic lost 6-1, 6-3 to a Qualifier called Kumkhum after beating Venus Williams in R1. WTA is so bizarre at times.

Who is Jana Fett?

On the brink of taking out Wozniacki who did really well in 2017.

And then she choked away 2 MP's and the game is back to being even.

Meh. I was hoping she'd do it. Never liked Wozniacki.
