Hewitt is great player, he was unlucky with injuries. Tipsy played great, it was a shame that they played in 1st round.

Federer will play in the final, then anything is possible. He plays great tennis here. 9 straight SF here. From 2004 to 2012. Not going anywhere.

I expect him to reach the SF but could easily see him losing to Murray there. Also don't see a way for him to beat Djokovic in the final.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Federer's touch wow

Yup, it's gonna be another Murray/Djoker final.

 

[Vomiaouaf]

Paire's nonchalant and always defeated body language makes it really tough to take him seriously...

 

[chuckddd]

Sloane Stephens should run around every ball. Her forehand is ridiculous.

 

[Sax Russel]

lulz

 

[MIMIC]

That Paire sure is a fighter....

 

[Good Job Bob]

Paire's nonchalant and always defeated body language makes it really tough to take him seriously...

That's how he is in every match.

Lauren Davis drops the first set

I wish she was on a TV court, but the girl she is playing is also unranked so its no surprise they stuck them on an outer court

 

[perfectchaos007]

Aww Lauren Davis lost.

BTW where is our resident Tommy Haas lifelong? He's in a tough battle with Nieminen right now

I hope Haas pulls the comeback off!

 

[modulaire]

It's so awesome Kimiko Date-Krumm won her match. 42 years old!

That's inspiring.

 

[rangersfan414]

Jarkko talkin to himself is hilarious!

 

[qindarka]

Damnit Davydenko. And you played so well in Doha too.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Monfils is so fun to watch.

 

[rangersfan414]

LOL at Haas cursing!

 

[Globox_82]

so many 5 seters in first 2 days

 

[rangersfan414]

Haas is so mad lol

and hes eliminated :/

 

[Globox_82]

poor haas

 

[perfectchaos007]

Rajeev Ram is trying to win his first ever grand slam singles match. He is currently 0-9 all time

 

[Ashhong]

I had no idea Venus was still playing. Thought it was all Serena now.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yep. Her and Djokovic headline the night sessions tomorrow.

 

[Globox_82]

Davydenko vs Fed in two days. of course fed wins but it will be a great match

 

[perfectchaos007]

This Monfils/Dogopolov match is producing some of the best tennis of the tournament so far ( as expected)

I don't think i'll be going to sleep until it's over

 

[BowieZ]

Benoît Paire is a sexy mofo but what an embarrassing display today.

Hopefully it'll be up on Youtube sooner or later.

 

[Globox_82]

AO lives up to the hype in the first two days. So many solid matches. 14 five seters, that's sick! I don't remember when that happened last time?! Janko vs hewitt and Gael vs Dog were awesome.

 

[The Last Wizard]

I hope they replay the Gael monfils match before 5, I heard the crowd going crazy.

 

[Saty]

Why isn't Federer's press conference up on the AO site?

Who knows..

You can find the full transcript here though: http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/interviews/index.html

 

[BLACKLAC]

Any news on if Serena will play in her doubles match?

 

[Good Job Bob]

Any news on if Serena will play in her doubles match?

She will.

 

[chuckddd]

The Tennis Channel has the worst commercials.

 

[Nemo]

Federer back to his 2010 outfit? He's gonna win this shit

I'm also noticing the lack of hype for him from commentators and others, it seems pretty set it's either going to be Murray of Djokovic. Murray's backhand was probably in the best form of the world in that Haase match tho...

You should shut those brahs out. Pointless rambling, you will maybe here something intelligent once a fortnight from a commentator.

 

[Niraj]

Way too many drop shots from Janowicz

 

[MIMIC]

That is horrible what happened to Baker

EDIT: He just retired. Can't even walk.

 

[Niraj]

What happened?

Edit: nvm, have espn on now. Sucks

 

[clemenx]

I read in Twitter that it's his ACL?

I'm seeing the replay right now. Awful.

 

[MIMIC]

What happened?

Something happened to his knee while he was playing. He pushed off of his right foot to stop (which didn't look bad at all), then he suddenly couldn't stand on that leg anymore.

He was heard hearing that he has never had knee trouble (but he has a history of other injuries, including a couple surgeries, IIRC)

 

[Globox_82]

this sucks! His season is probably over, maybe even worse...

 

[zero_suit]

Madison Keys has an impressive serve.

 

[Sax Russel]

Yay Janowicz. Try to make less errors next time. Like oh say by about 70 or so would be good.

 

[MIMIC]

This Ferrer match is great. Dunno who the American is, but he was getting destroyed.

Ferrer went up 6-0, 3-0 and then Smyczek mounted a mini-comeback to bring it to 4-4 in the 2nd set.

 

[perfectchaos007]

this sucks! His season is probably over, maybe even worse...

He has had something like 5 surgeries, and last year was his first year back on the tour in almost 7 years. He has a lot of heart, but his body just won't allow him to have a career in tennis. Poor guy

LMFAO Jerzy Janowicz has an enormous meltdown!

LMFAO Jerzy Janowicz has an enormous meltdown!

You see, if we had shot spot on every court, we wouldn't have epic meltdowns like this. Take away the technology and leave the human error for more meltdowns!!

Spoiler

jk

 

[MIMIC]

Smyczek, ranked 125th in the world, is about to serve for the 3rd set against Ferrer.

Smyczek, ranked 125th in the world, is about to serve for the 3rd set against Ferrer.

Even though thats the only set he'll win, he has a lot to be proud of for fighting back after losing the first 9 games

edit: Stosur loses the first set
edit2: nvm she saved 3 set points
edit3: Stosur loses the first set

 

[zero_suit]

Stosur/Zheng match is entertaining.
