re: The Unofficial 2020 Australian Open Thread

The Aussie Millman is giving Fed all he can handle right now. I just got home from the junkie clinic I missed most of Tsitsipas the Greek heathen and Raonic the Canuck bomber.

Come on Raonic please send these rowdy hooligans back to the Greek Islands. Win this tie breaker!
ETA: Novak is going to annihilate the diminutive Hebrew Diego Schwartzman in the round of 16. Cilic vs Raonic will be a good serve and ace match. Tennys is our great american hope. Sonya Kenin, CoCo Gauff, and CiCi Bellis are our american warriors. I so wanted to see Madison Keys win a Grand Slam before I perish. If she doesn’t win the French, Wimbledon, or the Open in September, I believe I’m gonna be on hind teet.

What year is this?

I love it even though I still believe Tsitsipas will be the first youngster to win a Grand Slam Major besides one of the Big 3. I was still pulling for Raonic. I don’t mind being wrong I’m pulling for Tiafoe, Kennys, Raonic to win one first. Stan the Man Wawrinka is my favorite non big 3 player.

Crack I hope you’re pulling for Roger to win this match? IIRC you are a Fed guy?
Posted on 1/24/20 at 5:06 am to moester75
Not me. No favorite player here. There's a few that I dislike, but I'm mostly neutral. Some of the smaller guys and the ones who don't get any crowd support, I like to see them to succeed from time to time, though I know they won't contend for slams.

Oh ok so you like the underdogs that’s cool. You’d probably like to see Fed get upset. I’m a royalist I pull for the kings (Fed, Rafa, Novak) and the queen Serena. I always have I was a huge Steffi Graf fan since she was 15. I want Fed and Nadal to keep on winning Slams. Novak too but he’s #3. My women are Keys, Serena, Kenin, and Victoria Azarenka.

I’ve never really understood that mentality. To me it’s like rooting for Google and Apple to become more successful, or Lady Gaga to be more popular, or rich people to get richer.
But your approach is a lot more common than mine for sure. To each his own.

I just love and respect excellence in tennis. In most all other team & individual sports I’ll pull for the underdog especially ncaa sports. It’s mostly because my dream would be to win Wimbledon. If I could do anything on this planet it would be win Wimbledon singles a few times. To be handed that silverware by the Duke of Kent and hold it up is the best in all of sports.

Better step up your time on the practice courts.
This 3rd set could have ramifications later in the tourney if Roger has to go 5 to win.

I agree and it wouldn’t be the first time that Aussie Millman wore out Federer in a five setter. I believe he almost made Fed pass out in a previous tournament. Fed needs to win the 3rd set then dominate in the 4th. If this goes five sets, I concur it will hurt Fed in the round of 16.
Posted on 1/24/20 at 5:57 am to moester75
Yes! Come on now Roger put him away in the 4th set. This is a good match. First to break serve in the fourth just may win the set.
Posted on 1/24/20 at 6:13 am to moester75
Come ESPN please show some of the Sofia Kenin match!
Posted on 1/24/20 at 6:28 am to moester75
You would have gotten your wish if Millman had gone away, but we could be headed to a 5th now.
Posted on 1/24/20 at 6:33 am to bayoucracka
Yea I’m afraid you’re right Crack. If Millman holds serve here we’re going to five sets. I wish they would show the Sonya Kenin match too. She won the 1st set but she’s down 3-2 in the second. We need her to advance she can play with Ash Barty.
ETA: Come on Sonya Kenin hold serve to win the 2nd set in a breaker. It’s 5-6 30 all. Fight Kenin!

Hell yes Sofia Kenin hangs on to win the second set tiebreaker 7-5 7-6. The american women are very much alive. Kenin, Gauff, Bellis, and Riske. You still watching Fed - Millman Crack?
Posted on 1/24/20 at 7:14 am to moester75
Yeah Millman almost had his 5th break of the night. Things would have gotten really interesting.
Posted on 1/24/20 at 7:17 am to bayoucracka
I hope Fed can pull this off.
Edited to add we will see the first to 10 tiebreaker. Unless Fed can break here.
