That was some serious tennis from Fonseca.

Holy ****!

Danielle Collins chucking a tantrum tonight because the crowd were against her (playing an Aussie, mind you), and then saying "“All I have to say, is good luck pissing somebody off or getting under the skin of somebody that doesn’t (care)" when they have clearly really, really gotten to her is pretty funny.

Whereas the previous night Draper said he used it as motivation to beat Kokkinakis. Maybe the English are a bit more used to Aussies giving them ****. He's up against another tomorrow too.

I read that one match earlier in the week was moved due to the bar close by becoming too rowdy.

Anther Draper v Australia cracker ending in the early hours. Can't see him having anything left for Alcaraz next.

Raducanu v the Polish junkie tonight.....should be the end of British involvement in the women's.

Tbh Collins did nothing wrong, they gave her stick and she gave it back.

Collins is very unlikeable. Didn't she tell a younger player to slow down the tempo of her game in a lead up? Her opponent then was too young and inexperienced to tell her where she can go. She's a manipulative sulk. The crowd clearly got to her and you could see the sooky hurt on her face after she'd finished blowing her kisses. She may feel clever mouthing off after a win but she's put a target on herself.

Draper vs Vukic was a great match.

Draper seemed to handle the crowd well. He looked a bit shitty about them when playing The Kokk, but they must surely expect them to cheer for the Aussies. Although some seem to be cheering at the wrong time, which would be ****ing annoying.

It's not like it's different elsewhere though. The American crowds can be full of jock wanker energy, and The big Kokk said he copped the same in the UK for the Davis Cup.

I think the only thing that bothered him were the ***** who shouted out as he was about to serve (happens everywhere). These idiots should just be kicked out.

Lol at Chompers (Tony Jones). God tier flog

Novak flicked a switch at the end of that 2nd set

I'm intrigued as to how many are still watching this in Australia? Seems ridiculous for a match of this magnitude to be on so late, but I guess it's for US TV as much as anything else.

Alcaraz hanging on, but he's basically been dissected for the last 90 mins.

Games that go on to 3am in the Aus Open is a glorious tradition, may it never change.

I personally have incredibly fond memories as a kid of watching to that never-ending Roddick/El Aynoui epic in 2003 until like 3am

 

[Molehill]

It was interesting to see the one man that Djokovic went and celebrated with after winning was Murray. I'm guessing that the Murray Mind is proving quite a useful accessory.

Such a tough draw though, Zverev next and then Sinner. It seems like one half of the draw are going to destroy each other and leave it for Sinner to stroll through.

Yeah the commentators talked about how Murray would probably analyse stuff like where exactly Alcaraz would end up positioned on the court during
certain points. Bring on those long matches that go forever into the night. It was only last year that Medvedev won a match at 3.40 and that included the
final set being 6-0. He was also involved in a match with Nadal in 2022 that finished after 4.00 am.

Give him 2 years

The post match press conference was even worse.
Oh, and kissing her ass as she was leaving and talking about prize money and how they pay for her vacations.

Classless.

I loved watching that one too (which is even more ridiculous considering the NZ time zone). I think I remember watching some late-night epics involving Marcos Baghdatis as well.

Sadly.

It was like that last year for all the majors though. Sinner and Alcatraz on the same side and Djoker getting the free ride.

That thrashing Raducanu took from Swiatek not looking so bad now as she's doing the same to everyone, Navarro her latest victim.

Is it a good look for the sport if her and Sinner end up the Champions?
