hmm- now the Daniil match has gone off for skiing- at match point.

Raahh · 20/01/2024 10:21

real shame about Grigor, he has been playing well recently .

Raahh · 20/01/2024 10:25

Well done Daniil- even if I didn't get to watch the end (bloody Eurosport[angry)

ChessieFL · 20/01/2024 10:30

Iga in trouble here.

Raahh · 20/01/2024 10:37

Blimey.

ChessieFL · 20/01/2024 10:39

Oh dear, poor Iga. Fair play to the winner though (who I’ve never heard of before!)

Raahh · 20/01/2024 10:42

No, I've never heard of her. She seems very nice though.

Iga takes losses hard. And the media seem to pile on her like she is suddenly rubbish. Sad

Fizzywinegum · 20/01/2024 20:11

Just managed to see a bit of Norrie and Casper this morning - it was a good win for Norris

I was surprised to see that Iga had gone out - she can sometimes seem vulnerable so yes I hope the media aren’t too harsh on her

I had high hopes for Grigor Sad - DH asked me who I wanted to win as Rafa’s not there and I said Grigor (although I don’t really mind who wins as long as it’s not you know who!)

I’m hoping that Adrian will drink just enough tequila to cause Djok some problems tomorrow (or sneak some into his water bottles) - it’s not a night match so hopefully it will boiling hot - Djok doesn’t deal well with the heat (probably the only thing that makes him human!)

Hopefully I’ll be able to watch more tennis tomorrow - I know the late finishes aren’t good for the players or the fans in Oz but quite good for us when the weather’s rubbish and there’s nothing else to do

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 06:32

Ugh Djokovic is through and Taylor beat Stef so he plays him next

Let’s hope Taylor gives Djok a tougher time than Adrian did

Raahh · 21/01/2024 07:03

I've been catching up with scores- it's all going Djok's way now, isn't it? So yes, hopefully Taylor can find an extra gear from somewhere.
Just score watching Sinner, as I can't be bothered to get up or faff with the app.
I like Karen, but I have high hopes for Jannik getting a big title this year.
Maybe not this one, but it can't be far off.

Coco and Aryna safely through.

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 07:05

Sinner is on fire

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 07:12

Wow Karen just got an amazing tweener

OP posts:
JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 07:48

Well done Jannik

They're not bothering to show his interview. I switched to Eurosport 1 in case it was there only to see bloody Djokovic talking to Babsy

If Barbora wears that much clothing in Australia I wonder what she would wear here! Going to a third set.

OP posts:
ChessieFL · 21/01/2024 08:07

She does look a bit sweaty doesn’t she?!

StartupRepair · 21/01/2024 08:11

It's quite cool in Melbourne today.

Fizzywinegum · 21/01/2024 08:14

Looks like the tequila didn’t work for Adrian this time Hmm

Looks like a straightforward win for Sinner as well - he seems to be working quietly through his draw

Barbora was wearing leggings when she was playing the other day but it was a night match

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 08:18

StartupRepair · 21/01/2024 08:11

It's quite cool in Melbourne today.

That's heatwave weather here Grin

We had a massive thunderstorm during the night

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 08:43

Well done Barbora

Come on Andrey, sorry Alex

OP posts:
Raahh · 21/01/2024 09:27

I'm really pleased for Barbora- but I imagine there are a few thinking she has spoilt the teenage party.

Tough one for Andrey - although he has won the first set easily- he will also be playing the crowd, and I don't want him to start beating himself up!

ChessieFL · 21/01/2024 10:06

It is disappointing for Mirra but her time is going to come.

ChessieFL · 21/01/2024 10:14

Ooh, one set all

JaneJeffer · 21/01/2024 10:14

This is great tennis
