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.

Rafa is so good!

Phew Mats is back.

oh good- please finish this off now, or Frew will be back in the 4th!

Still obsessed with the time though

Eeek! Scary flying thing!

Yay Mats!

Tsitsipas looks a bit down and out, doesn't he.

Just a dragonfly I think. Where's AC when you need him?

AC's nature corner

I am freezing sitting here in my draughty kitchen.

oh, yes.
We need AC.

I know it wasn't a butterfly.

I'm sure Rafa can make his own mind up without getting ideas from Roger.

Yet another rambling story that goes nowhere

That rambling story

And yy- I don't think he's changed because of Federer. Something had to change- and with his injuries, improving his serve was always a no-brainer. More ' cheap' points, less time on the surfaces that damage his knees.

Stefanos needs a new shoe supplier!

I missed the story. Had to get some coffee to warm myself up. Could do with a bit of that Melbourne sunshine.

oh dear.

Don't let yourself down. Losing to Rafa playing like this - there's no shame in that.

I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Stefanos here.

Hope you've warmed up Jane

I do feel for Stefanos. There was a lot of expectation.

But his time will definitely come.

Yes - definitely Raahh

If this is how he is now, then I can't wait for clay. Interesting to see if he will tweak the serve for that.

And he's through .

VAMOS

yay!!

So brilliant. I love Stefanos, though.

Stripping!Let's just linger on that.

So Rafa's toughest match so far was... James Duckworth??

Private that's pretty funny really.

The dog has realised the match has finished.

He will have to wait until after the chat.

VAMOS!!

I hope Djok is worried.
