[Diprosalic]

thanks for making the thread.

i hope you never make one ever again after seeing that banner.

 

[darkwing]

go Roger!

 

[Niraj]

Cool, Fed is through in 4.

 

[leng jai]

Who is that scintillating specimen next to the mega koala?

 

[LuuKyK]

Genie's outfit... Damn. Very, uhm, revealing.

Good to see her winning again though.

Cmon, I know you like it !

Cool, Fed is through in 4.

Tough first round for favourites. Wawrinka, Nishikori, Cilic in 5, Kerber in 3, Halep out...

Who is that scintillating specimen next to the mega koala?

I think he played a semi-final 20 or 30 years ago...

 

[Ricker]

Genie's outfit... Damn. Very, uhm, revealing.

Yep and to my surprise, Kasatkina lost her first round against Peng,so Genie will play her in R2.

Thanks for the OT...I think lol

Some slow starts for sure.

 

[KeRaSh]

Stopped following Tennis after Nadal's loss vs. Wawrinka at the finals. Is Nadal back in shape?

 

[FortuneFaded]

Sir Murray got this.

[IISANDERII]

Exciting first 2 sets, though Murphy wasn't at his best. Pressure of being #1?

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Required 'Go Serena' post.

He had a subpar year (by his standards) in 2016. He finished in the top 10 but struggled to go deep in slam draws. He said he was going to train like crazy in pre-season but it remains to be seen if he's still capable to win another big tournament.

 

[tycoonheart]

Lmao @ that Kyrgios pic

 

[JBwB]

Nice win from Fed.

Despite his tough draw I hope he goes deep into this tournament.

Quickly, we must progress to the next page so as to never see the main post again.

 

[Horsefly]

It's the duty of all of us to repost the banner at the top of every page!

Meanwhile, what's with the shaky starts? Sign of an unpredictable year in tennis? Or just an overly hot day down under?

Its really hot atm and Coco Vandeweghe was throwing up on the court, but she still won. temps will drop 25 degrees in a couple of days so heat won't be an issue for the players on Wednesday

 

[IISANDERII]

Is this the Federer Beard Era? I like it. I wonder if his contract with Gilette expired.

Amazing how he won 15+ consecutive points yet still lost that set, losing 5 games in a row or so. Melzer really brought it up a notch.

Federer tuned up his backhand in his time off. His grip is slightly more western I think, it was working very well in the final set.

I don't like the new look of his racquet.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Wow Raonic seeded 3rd. Hope he takes another step forward this year.

It was a quickly put together OT and honestly I went with the matchs which came to my mind first. They're here because they are fun to rewatch, not because the best players of all time were involved. But feel free to direct me to great Australian Open highlights involving Serena and I'll gladly add them to the OP.

Those of you who like great ball striking (no pun intended) and couldn't catch Klizan-Wawrinka have to watch this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvXWC4yswEI

 

[perfectchaos007]

So Bencic has lost 8 of her last 9 matches or something crazy like that...

Serena gets Safarova next. No cupcakes for her in this tournament.

Oooh that should be a fun match...

Easy peasy for Milos,straight sets against Brown.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Stosur is playing now, I'll check back in an hour to see her outed. I feel bad for thinking this way but she brings it on herself.

 

[Niraj]

Goffin just escaped a close one.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Goffin just escaped a close one.

Opelka had that shit. He had a lot of break points near the end of the 5th set, didn't convert, then played a loose service game and loses that. You see that happen a lot with the younger/inexperienced guys. He's only 19 hopefully he'll learn from it

This was going to be my suggestion. Serena showed up "fat" (back when the Williams Sisters were doing things besides tennis on the side) and played herself into shape at the major.

 

[Zackat]

I miss when I didn't have the schedule I have to keep now and I could stay up and watch this every night. Nothing tomorrow so I will stay up some and watch. Caught the tail end of Rafa.

 

[leng jai]

Obligatory collapse from big Stosur. Bagel against Watson coming up.

Yeah that game he got broken at love in was just terrible

 

[perfectchaos007]

This Medvedev kid still acts like a dick. He's glaring at the linesmen after every point thinking they are missing calls. Medvedev was also the guy who last year was defaulted from a match for accusing one of the linespersons of being a racist in favor of black people. ( He was playing Donald Young I believe )

 

[oti]

Tennis Opa Haas vs. rebellious teen Paire has GREAT potential for drama.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Obligatory collapse from big Stosur. Bagel against Watson coming up.

Yep, she gone.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I guess it's only fitting that Haas had to retire in his last match at the Australian open.

 

[leng jai]

Just unfollowed Paire on Instagram. Hope that was worth it mate.

Who is that Broady and I love how weird her one-handed backhand looks.
