[TENNIS] The 2014 ATP/WTA Australian Open Thread (3 Viewers)

Anyways, I'm surprisingly cheering for Murray on Sunday night. Probably the first time.

Still think Djokovic will take it but yeah.

 

[photastic]

2011 Djokovic wouldn't choke the 4th set tbh.

Anyways, good run for Stan. A SF at the AO is a great result.

I meant the last few games. Hope the final wont be boring like it was between Novak and Andy in 2011 and 2013.

Stan just imploded. Spraying errors and 1st serve % was terribad.

Yes, Novak was solid but Stan's 5th set level didn't match his 5th set level in AO13 and AO14.

Wawrinka will drop his rank to 9th. Thats sad considering Cilic didnt even play for the Aus Open and hes ranked higher lolol

I am interested why this happened. Any ideas? Perhaps it was mental pressure.

But man whats happening to Wawrinka in the 5th set. Shouldn't you be studying for the HSC lolol

Tennis tho

Tennis.

It'll be fine. He's THIRD (I think) in the ATP race regardless of what happens on Sunday.

Meanwhile Roger and Rafa are 8th and 9th in the race respectively.

Stan defends nothing basically in the French Open so yeah... (though he has to defend his Monte Carlo crown too)

A lot of room for Stan to move back up.

Yeah, I think he mentally gassed out. The 4th set must have taken a lot of mental energy out of him (understandable because he was on the brink of defeat in the 4th).

Physically he seemed absolutely fine.

Tennis tho

Tennis.

Like I've said, I watched all 4 slams during my HSC year.

 

[Lithone]

Stan's performance was pretty shocking/disappointing in 5th set. I guess his mentality in the 4th set must've been primarily like "I need to make it to the 5th set" rather than "I need to win this match" and then he burnt out and couldn't get momentum back on after that x.x

 

[astroman]

sharapova screaming sounds different today

 

[astroman]

grats to Serena and a great fight back by Sharapova

 

[Speed6]

Sharapova played great, but Serena played excellent.

Did you mean beast in a good way or bad way? Just asking, just asking...

 

[financialwar]

Do you even know which one is the beauty and which is the beast??

 

[Anthel]

I do... I do. Im just hoping you would answer my question thats all you dont have to say anything if you dont want to...

Though in my opinion I think they're both beauties

 

[financialwar]

Before I can possibly answer your question, can you define what do you mean by "beast" in good way and bad way?

we all know what you meant, ur racist

 

[financialwar]

You have to be a racist to have racist thoughts. So that's like admitting you're a racist if you call me a racist when I haven't even say anything.

So that would mean you'd be a racist to have known he was thinking racist thoughts to have racist thoughts to be a racist #raceception
