Tennis Thread: Australian Open 2019 & onwards..........

[magimedi]

Hope it's OK for me to start a new thread - could not believe we'd burned out on the last one.

Am looking forward to seeing highlights of the Fed/Tits match later.

Ignore me, obviously it will be an Osaka /Kvitova final

That was so good! Brilliant from both of them.

Kvitova and Osaka haven't played each other before. Either could be No1 afterwards. Should be a great final - really like both of them.

(I've not had much sleep ).

Anyway- it will be a final that both will get to enjoy and there will be huge support .

Naomi is so sweet.

'I'm going to sleep'

Oh she is lovely- she will be a mega star in Japan!

I know - love it!

After all she's been through I'd love to see Kivitova win.

magi- I would too.

But at the same time- I want Naomi to experience that feeling of winning a slam- when the crowd aren't booing .

Ironic that she's lived in the States most of her life. Had she been playing anyone else, their media would have claimed the victory as practically homegrown.

They are re-showing the Kvitova match.

Collins keeps arguing with Ramos.

Poor Carlos.

Morning all,
Me too magi but I like Naomi too. Should be an interesting match, it's nice to have a women's match where I like both players
Not going to see Rafa this morning, have to go out but will be following the scores. They are saying the roof will stay shut which might help Tits.

And now for something completely different

Davis Cup Blues

Agree mama and magi - should be a great final and really like watching both of them. Would be happy for either to win. Really looking forward to it.

Roof's open 👍

No words for how hot the next 24 hours in Melbourne are going to be. No wonder Rafa is so sweaty.

Back from school run.

I'm not moving.

Even though the dog is looking at me with 'walk me' eyes.

"Who do you think has the longest...queue?"

If it's going to be hot, that sets it up nicely for Djok to play under the roof, probably.

Rafa has definitely started well.

I really want Stefanos to do well.

But not today, buddy. .

Vamos!

What is Mats on about??

Private I have no idea.

Mats said that not me!

Dog is doing his "look at me" so I've barely seen the tennis.

Wow.

So, Rafa never comes to the net, then...

Why is Frew replacing Mats for the next set? Boo!!

A comfort break?! Already?
