Machac and Opelka were involved in a lengthy.5 setter- which Tomas ultimately won, but don't know what he will have left to play Djok next ( who did at least drop a set).

Seemed straightforward for Carlos.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 08:53

Missed the start of the Casper/Jakub match, but not very surprised to see he's already down a break. Hopefully, he's just a bit slow to start (but I did worry this would be a tricky match up).

ADF is also playing Felix in a bit, that could either be a total walkover for Felix, or ADF will show up and it will go to 5 sets Grin.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 08:58

First set Mensik.

Come on Casper!

IceandIndigo · 15/01/2025 09:23

Come on Jack! And Jacob! And Jodie! All the Brits are playing at the same time. And have names starting with J Grin

Also, come on Casper! Is it unpatriotic to be watching him instead?

IceandIndigo · 15/01/2025 09:27

I’m enjoying the way Casper and Jakub have coordinated their kits, it’s like one is the reverse of the other.

I don't do patriotic, so I'm happily watching Casper. Grin

I agree about the kits. Grin.

Jakub's level has dropped a bit in this set. Or Casper's has picked up. maybe a bit of both.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 09:34

Of course, now I have jinxed Casper.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 09:41

I like the 'Mensik' pronunciation debateGrin
It's getting a bit like the Alcarath one.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 09:45

I set all- that's better.

I do like Jakub, he has a good future. Just not today Grin

IceandIndigo · 15/01/2025 09:47

Hooray Casper! Just switched over to Jack’s match for a bit and there seems to be some sort of Greek taverna vibe going on Hmm

Raahh · 15/01/2025 09:50

Ice I noticed that the other day with Thanasi and Kyrgios- the Greek contingent really like to get involved (probably more so now Stef has lost Grin).

Yes there seem to be as many Greek flags as Australian. They were playing bouzouki music and people were dancing. Also, Kokk is wearing some sort of ancient Greece cosplay. It seems a very close match.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 09:59

Come on Casper- I do not need a Rafa replacement this early on in the year.

IceandIndigo · 15/01/2025 10:04

Jack has taken the second set against Kokk.

IceandIndigo · 15/01/2025 10:05

Jesus Casper, what is this?

Raahh · 15/01/2025 10:11

Blimey, I'm getting Djok vibes from this. Lost the second set playing far worse than he did in the first set.

And raced through this one.

Come on Casper!!

Raahh · 15/01/2025 10:14

What is he wittering about? The ADF match is in play .

StartupRepair · 15/01/2025 10:19

Melbourne at one point was the second largest Greek city after Athens.

Melbourne at one point was the second largest Greek city after Athens.

I know there are lots of greeks living there.

Probably why Stef called it his 'home slam' (Before he lost)!

Did you have a good time yesterday?

Raahh · 15/01/2025 10:23

Woah- that was close!

StartupRepair · 15/01/2025 10:31

Yesterday was fabulous. Good men's match - it was amazing sitting in the second row. My boss sent me a photo from his tv because he could see me in many of the shots. (Lucky I wasn't skiving off work!). And beautiful food and free flowing drinks. It was a very different experience to see how the other half live.
Tomorrow we are going again at our normal level of seats right up the back of Margaret Court.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 10:37

That sounds great Startup (and yes, good you we'ren't skiving !Grin).

Hopefully you will get some good matches tomorrow. I think Daniil is schedule On MC in the evening?

Raahh · 15/01/2025 10:39

Grin How does Casper keep catching the net?

StartupRepair · 15/01/2025 10:40

Yes dd is very excited to be coming with us as she is a huge fan of Medvedev.

Raahh · 15/01/2025 10:43

Oh, I bet she is - I would love to see him play live.
