TENNIS THREAD- Australian Open continues- we're ready for the popcorn matches!

[Raahh]

I am not going to get chance to watch much more of this so this was a bit of a quick one...

Uh oh......

What on earth? He keeps having a great game, then a rubbish one?

VAMOS!!

Rafa's serve is definitely not his friend at the moment.

I'm not sure I remember a game recently when he served so many double faults....what is going on?!

Frew had to bring Dick into the conversation.

It's really strange because looking at the two of them Domi looks the more exhausted!

It is a very weird set.
Moya is looking worried. Some first serves here would be good.....

He does jane I don't think Dom's playing that well either right now.

I think Rafa is losing this, rather than Dom winning. But to listen to the commentary, obviously he will be playing brilliantly, because they are after an upset.

I do like Dom- but I need Rafa to win this!

This is not going to plan.

I'm not sure I can watch this...

Rafa is in such a mood!

Oh blimey.

They were quick to decide Dom had already won this set, earlier.

Not yet.

probably now...

Oh crap.

This is not good.

And the worst of it, is if Djok wins the tournament, and he probably will, he regains the number one spot. Which I don't want him to.

Arse.

Maybe he'll turn it around.

We never write off our Rafa.

Nope!

No, never.

It's now just a re set match. After a bit of a shaky warm up.

VAMOS.

I can barely watch though.

*3 set

Funny old match from Rafa this.

I think Thiem is playing well, in terms of how quick he is and he's sort of tireless (even though he looks shattered as you said Raahh).

I've had too much coffee and I'm as jittery as Rafa.
