The Tennis Thread

Good game alright.

The nation will come to a halt once again around 2.30pm. Maybe a few of the dustier blokes will knock off early for a schooner in the RSL to watch. Can our boys do the impossible and knock out a seeded opponent for the FOURTH match in a row?

Huzzah! Our boys have done it!

The Men’s Doubles finals will be an ALL—AUSTRALIAN affair.

Scenes in Melbourne.

The Barty Party looks set to complete another unforgettable day at the Australian Open. She’s a set to the good against Madison Keys.

Barty Party advances to the ladies final. 6-1, 6-3. A true superstar with a very humble attitude :ronnyroar:

Danielle Collins or Iga Polack face off now in the other semi.

Collins off to a quick start 3-0 up.

Collins coasting into the final here. Two very one-sided semi finals tonight.

The three setters have caught up with Swiatek here. She is getting battered.

Would she have a fairly big support there or where does women’s tennis rank in the grand scheme?

A good level of interest. Like you’d get in a smaller country with a person doing well on the international scene. She has already won a major which makes her already the best ever Polish tennis player at the age of twenty. She seems to have her head screwed on and seems to be likeable. Tennis is played widely enough but still a niche sport.

I see the so called Australian tennis fans letting themselves down again. Savages.

It’s an utter disgrace.

If nadal on Sunday doesn’t bring @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy nothing well.

What’s this about?

Multiple brain farts from medvedev here in the second opens the door for the Greek. Can he capitalise?

1 set a piece. The Greek is goading medvedev.

Lovely bit of needle to this.

Medvedev and Tipsy hate each other.

Medvedev winning his service games a lot easier.

He was doing that in the second too and had a complete hissy fit and fucked it away.
