Someone's collapsed on Rod Laver and it might be Ivanovic' coach

Someone's collapsed on Rod Laver and it might be Ivanovic' coach

Eurosport commentators are saying that it's her coach Nigel Sears.

I have never seen this happening before.

Up: It's definitely her coach.

 

[Saty]

Yeah, they stopped play at Rod Laver arena.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Wow I wonder how this will effect Ana mentally in the rest of this match

 

[oti]

Suspended indefinitely.

Andy Murray is playing and he has no idea that his father in law has collapsed at rod laver

Andy Murray's father in law, for those who are unaware; would be very difficult for Kim watching and getting the news from afar, I'm sure.

Could you imagine him getting the news while the match's still going? I wonder if Mauresmo knows what has happened.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Ana looked very emotional walking back to the locker room

 

[Saty]

Eurosport commentator said Nigel died.

What

 

[perfectchaos007]

Eurosport commentator said Nigel died.

No way

 

[Peru]

Don't see that info anywhere else.

 

[oti]

Don't see that info anywhere else.

Me neither. Making this up would be pretty fucked up, Saty.

Nigel Sears on a stretcher taken out of RLA with shirt off. Hooked up to breathing tank. Conscious, breathing #AusOpen

 

[Saty]

Might be unfortunate word-mixup and he meant to say something else but he did say 'died'. He also shared his condolences to the family, which would be weird to say in this situation.

 

[killer_clank]

jeez, what a weird situation this is.

 

[perfectchaos007]

According to officials a defibrillator was used and there was a pool of blood in the aisle and Nigel said 30 minutes prior to his fall that he was not feeling well

 

[sam777]

Sousa takes the second set, tbf he played well this set although Murray was below par especially with his serving.

 

[MIMIC]

lulz

 

[oti]

According to some twitter peeps the match will recommence in 10 minutes time.

-

Yep: 20:40 AEDT

 

[John Dunbar]

sousa probably going to vanish pretty soon. maybe it's for the better since murray-wawrinka semi would maximize the potential competition for djokovic in the final. not that it will matter, the mugginess from last year is spilling over.

 

[chuckddd]

This coverage right now is pretty macabre. "What will Andy's mother do?" "When will she leave her seat?"

 

[sam777]

The Murray vs Sousa match is really enjoyable, many great rallies.

Ivanovic up 3-0 in the 3rd set. Keys looks done

 

[Jay Sosa]

Ivanovic up 3-0 in the 3rd set. Keys looks done

Is this the first WTA match your watching?

Not saying she won't win but this is far from over

 

[leng jai]

Even a 5-0 lead is nothing on the WTA tour.

 

[Diamond]

Keys up 5-3 in the 3rd set. Ivanovic looks done
lol

 

[leng jai]

Now Ivanovic down 3-5. You just have to roll your eyes, there's no logic to this shit at all.

 

[Peru]

I wouldn't blame Ivanovic for being shaky today.

 

[leng jai]

It's more been due to Keys' erratic ball bashing. This choking couldn't be anymore blatant.

 

[oti]

Bummer. I really wanna see Invanovic to win another Slam. Especially the Australian Open.

 

[Jay Sosa]

was waiting for this. Can't have a discussion about a tennis match without the c word.

 

[leng jai]

I don't use the c word much actually, but that double fault and Ivanovic's off forehand in the last game were obvious.

 

[oti]

Ok, come on now Zhang! You can do it!

 

[perfectchaos007]

That was just a real rough few hours for Ivanovic. Coach gets hospitalized then she gives away the match after leading 3-0 in the final set. She was up 4-2 in the 2nd set too. She may wake up with cold sweats tonight multiple times

 

[Jay Sosa]

I don't use the c word much actually, but that double fault and Ivanovic's off forehand in the last game were obvious.

Sure but Keys did play some amazing points and so did Ana at the end. No one ever points that shit out..only when they double fault or make ues.

Yeah, mostly when they were behind. The double fault was like 100km/h and clearly from racket head deceleration. Ivanovic's off forehand was basically a putaway so it's not like it was an error from a neutral position.

 

[leng jai]

Tomic 4 dead net cords to 0 for Millman in the first set, one was on break point at 4-4. Classic Bnard.

 

[Ricker]

Bratty Bencic against Sharapova tonight,this could be fun.

 

[tycoonheart]

That Keys Ivanovic 3rd set was brutal. Neither could hold serve.

 

[Good Job Bob]

 

[John Dunbar]

murray, take out the trash.

murray, take out the trash.

He's right, you know.

 

[John Dunbar]

He's right, you know.

i don't understand how that has anything to do with what i said.

 

[chuckddd]

Was there ever an update on Nigel Sears?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Bratty Bencic against Sharapova tonight,this could be fun.

Bencic v. Sharapova is the only seeded player vs. seeded player matchup in the round of 16.

In the mens draw, all but one Sweet 16 match is seed vs. seed

Fun, but it's been scientifically proven that WTA players are not more inconsistent than ATP ones.
