TENNIS - Down Under - not a G'Day for Novak

[JaneJeffer]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

How annoying Raahh. At least it’s not too far to go so you might not miss much!

I'm back now .
Oh dear- looks like Musetti is a injured.

I've turned over to see how the Broady match is going. I always have a soft spot for Liam, being local-ish.

Terrible kit though.

And I like anyone who looks like they might beat Kyrgios except Djok.

He isn't doing too well though- Come on Liam!

Oh no Raahh -that’s not good!

Kyrgios has won - yes Liam’s kit is not good - also not sure about the beard! Talking of beards I think Benoit won earlier

Kyrgios v Medvedev should be interesting - will it be the battle of the underarm serves?

Lots of noise in the Kyrgios match- sounded like booing, though I doubt they were. Shame about Liam and his terrible kit .

I think Daniil v Kyrgios should be good- because Daniil won't care about being the villain, he will relish it.

I thought I heard booing as well Raahh but not sure why

Daniil was asked if he would be watching the Kyrgios match - he said he would if they were showing it on TV but if not he would watch another match

Morning all,

As Steph seems to be in charge we've switched to Emma's match.
Was the kyrios match as easy as the score line suggests?

Fizzy I do like Daniil. His attitude is a nice contrast to the intense stuff that has been going on. We need some light relief.

I can't decide if I like Stef's top or not.

Emma off to a flying start.

What happened to Casper?

Jane he hurt his ankle on Sunday I think, I've just seen that he's withdrawn.

Yes it's a shame. Ivashka has also withdrawn - I don't know much about him.

I remember Ivashka taking a set off Rafa in his first match in Barcelona last year. I got a bit nervous -and walked the dog .

He also played pretty well against Federer in Halle.

I find Sloane hard to watch. She never seems to get into a rhythm.

Ahh I had forgotten about that Raahh

Sloane is an odd one- when she is good- she can be very good.

There were points last year when she had some good runs in tournaments. Then the wheels would come off again.
She really is the embodiment of inconsistent.

Not sure what was going on with the umpire beforehand, either. Some arguement over whether she could wear her watch or not?

Turned over briefly to see what was happening with Stef- he's looking very sweaty.

And he needs some laundry tips from Sascha. Look at the state of his top

Apostolos doing a lot of behind the mask coaching. He may get into trouble for it again if he's not careful.

Jane not subtle at all, is he??

Sloane has turned the match around after a disastrous first set - so 1 set all there.

The Raducanu match is very odd score wise! Emma now serving for the match.

Was that a butterfly? Andrew help!
