Pleased to see Emma through this morning. Katie’s match is still to come - think that could be a tough one.

Holger seems to be in a bit of trouble against Matteo. Shame they’re playing each other so early, would like to see both have a decent run.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 07:19

I have been keeping an eye on the Holger/Matteo match, and from looking like Matteo would take the set, Holger snuck it on a tie break. That could be the turning point for the match- either Rune will find his confidence, or it will still go the distance.

What do I know?Grin

Raahh · 16/01/2025 07:21

I wish they weren't playing each other though, Chessie, I feel robbed of more matches, if they cancel each other out.

Grin.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 07:34

Just got the tv on- and looks like I was wrong about Holger- Matteo has the hold on this set - and Holger is having a chat with the umpire. Physio coming out?

Raahh · 16/01/2025 07:42

If this carries on, we could lose all the 'Ru' s in the first week!

Raahh · 16/01/2025 07:44

Holger is looking a bit more animated. Maybe he will just let this set go.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 08:14

Holger now in charge in the 3rd set.

Can't call this match at the moment Grin.

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 08:21

Not sure who I want to win between Holger and Matteo, probably Matteo because I want him to get back into the top 30. Love the purple and black kit.

Boy wonder Joao not going so well today against Lorenzo. Not surprising really, always difficult to back up a big upset and he’s so young.

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 08:22

Happy for Emma, I think she was the underdog in that match. She plays Iga next.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 08:59

Score watching whilst walking the dog- looks like it could be Holger's match now, but I'm not writing Matteo off just yet.
Fonseca is not out of it either.

ChessieFL · 16/01/2025 09:16

Just caught up on the scores - Holger appears to have the edge now but could still go either way I think.

Looks like it will go to a third set for Katie - fingers crossed for her.

Emma v Iga - don’t fancy Emma’s chances there sadly.

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 09:17

The Brazilian fans are wild, it’s going to be Carnival on the streets of Melbourne if Joao comes through.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:18

Ooh- Jannik has lost a set to Schoolkate ( which has always interested me as a name).

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 09:18

Jannik lost the first set to the Aussie underdog.

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 09:27

Katie has taken the second set. So much tennis, don’t know where to look!

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:31

Ugh. Tie break for Matteo and Holger.

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 09:32

Come on Matteo!

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:36

Matteo has a strong hold on the tie break, so this is going the distance. As they say Grin.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:37

( I might be a bit premature)

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:42

Well, I was wrong there.

Well done Holger- massive shame for Matteo, mainly because it deserved to be later in the tournament really.

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 09:45

Well done Holger. Matteo will be disappointed for letting that tiebreak slip away.

And well done Lorenzo, feels weird to describe it as an upset but it sort of was, particularly given the crowd.

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:48

Yes, I really thought it was going to a 5th.

Jannik looks good in his yellow polo shirt (though he does look a bit like he ought to be playing golf, and his caddy will be along in a minute).

Raahh · 16/01/2025 09:50

I agree the Fonseca result feels a bit like an 'upset' Ice- there would have been a lot of expectations- but he still has a lot to be proud of, and I think he's definitely going in the right direction (and sometimes it's best not to do too much too soon, if you can;t back it up- it's a long way down from the top).

IceandIndigo · 16/01/2025 09:50

Pastels always a good choice for a redhead. I would look horrible in that colour.
