Yes, everything is shaping up nicely.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is getting so spicy. Kyrgios amping up the crowd. Won a break point.

4-2 in his favor.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Now Medvedev is amping up the crowd. break point for him

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was an electric first set.

Edge of the seat stuff

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Medvedev is running away with the second set. 3-0

 

[Niall]

wow!

That was a whipping.

 

[Burgey]

FMD he's some talent Kyrgios.

Massive win

 

[Niall]

He's joint betting fav with Nadal in most places which is fair enough. Nadal has a brutal half of the draw with Alcarez and Sinner floating about.

A Nadal v NK final ?

We probably get Ruud v Norrie final though

Smokin Nick's on fire, hope we get to see him play Nadal in the final.

Nick ****ing Kyrgios!

My assessment of Kyrgios is that he’s a present day Philippoussis until he proves me wrong

Philippoussis was an amazing talent for whom a couple of GS finals was a barely adequate return

In terms of sheer talent, a level above Rafter & Hewitt

Kyrgios has a better all round game than all of them but ….

Margaret Court's a real charmer, isn't she.

Maybe this is a bit harsh from the limited amount that I know about Margaret Court...but here goes...
Anything that I've heard over the years that has anything to do with the legendary M.C, I simply can't help but get this strong feeling that she comes
across as nothing but a miserable nasty old cow.
Great player though...

She’s a very conservative religious type with no filter and one of the greatest ever

Perennial clickbait

Yeah, Kyrgios seems to have done something The Poo never did this year, which is actually take his training and preparation more seriously. At least according to himself anyway. The results seem to suggest he's made the changes he said he has.
