There is a decent amount and enough to have a slight atmosphere.
Martina correcting the guys on the “greatest rivalry in the sport”...
Like I love women’s tennis too but they do not compare to these guys.

What’re the great women’s rivalries? Serena vs her age?

We can say what we want about the strings and style of play, but Novak is laying an egg, he looks low effort and making tons of mistakes. Rafa is playing really well, but Schwartzy but up more of a fight.

Looks like the Djoker is waking up a bit.

Will never feel comfortable against Djoker until it’s over, especially with Rafa looking like he’s losing first serve.

Rafa was way too short a favorite.

Absolutely processed.

So Rafa will be favored if they meet in the final and Novak will definitely be the play.

20 and counting. I know he's going to be coming hard for the Australian to try to finally win every major twice.

He’s still the only player to have multiple grand slams on every surface

He will need Novak to bow out early in Australia to claim that title for a 2nd time, most likely. He cannot beat him there.

Thiem will be very hard to beat in Melbourne, too.

What an absolute egg Djoko laid. Nadal is the best ever on this court, but he is beatable as proven by Djoko. How can you not get up for this final? Did he think the drop was gonna be his key and once he saw Rafa get there with ease, he threw in the towel? That was a pathetic display.

Congrats to Rafa, the GOAT unless Djoko can pass him and beat him at the French.

He played pretty well three of the first four games and got deflated when he had nothing to show for it. I am watching the replay and he did have ton of unforced errors, but that stat is deceiving. Rafa's shots are dipping and kicking and you are going to spray it when trying to hit winners, especially when Rafa is chasing down every ball. Novak could have served better and Rafa was just really sharp the first two sets. That's how it looks.

MV, I have to sneak Fed in while I can.

The number of wins Nadal now has over players ranked No. 1 in tour-level events, the most by any player, male or female, since the ATP Rankings were introduced in 1973. Next on the list are Boris Becker (19) and Navratilova (18).

Nadal also leads this list at majors, with 9 such wins. Following him are Stan Wawrinka and Becker (5 each), followed by Ivan Lendl (4).
