re: Unofficial 2019 Australian Open thread.

I counted that as a 3-1 Seppi win in my mental book, but the actual result is better for tennis.

Took my hypothetical profit and put it on the two underdog Spaniards. Not Rafa obviously.

RBA has had crowds against him all tournament.

Tip my hat.

Apparently I've been missing a tennis clinic on Laver.

I came here to post that what Rafa did to young Demon can only be described as a clinic. The first two sets weren't even competitive. The third set was mildly competitive. Rafa looked sharp.

i like the young Demon's moxie, but his lack of firepower puts a ceiling on his upside.

This has not been my best gambling performance today.

Should be fun match

But it’s all Federer

For now I have to focus on figuring out how bad Goffin will beat Medvedev.

Or you could just bet big on Goffin. He's the underdog, so sounds like you've got some big time money coming your way.

Congratulations n advance.

Q Wang +125

I think she wins this match in 2 sets +215

My best bet of the day

Hsieh is giving Osaka some trouble. Hsieh is that old guy at your tennis club who hits with no pace and lots of junk and it causes you fits.

I'm embarrassed to say I'm watching this, but at least I'm not alone

This shows the difference between Serena and these young big hitters.

Osaka tried a couple moonballs but didn't seem to realize Hsieh's backhand is better than her forehand.

And I think that ball was out when Osaka made it 4-3.
