2 Americans left... Sandgren and Kenin.

Weird.

Yep Kenin and Tennys that’s it I still stand by my Novak + Barty prediction to win but I’ll be pulling hard for Kenin. This Melbourne crowd will carry Barty to the end.

I looked up Fucsovics record against top 20 players on hard court and he doesn’t have a win in a Slam against one and I think he only has one on grass.

Looks like another long night for Roger if he can’t break here to stay in the 1st set.

That sounds about right. He’s playing well but Fed is donating way too many points again.

Does Fed have another five setter in him after the 3rd round Millman match?

Wow I don’t know but Tennys is smiling somewhere... probably in an ice bath.

Boy would it be a blessing to dodge fed in the quarters and play an unranked

Well that turned around in a hurry. This is what I expected from the start.

Simona Halep vs Elise Mertens at 7:00 pm est to start off the night should be a good match.

Rafa vs Kyrgios at 3:00 am will be a battle. This will be the first time in awhile the majority of a Grand Slam crowd will be pulling for Nadal’s opponent. I expect some antics from the silly Aussie Nicholas Kyrgios.

I don't think Nick is going to have any gas left in the tank, so I expect one way traffic. He is going to need to serve out of his mind.

Hopefully Rafa will dominate and not give the home crowd a reason to help Nicholas thrive. Nadal plays better angry so Nick might not want to mock Rafa’s idiosyncrasies and his ocd routine.

All the courts they have and all the hours in the day and they schedule Rublev/Zverev at 2:30 ET and Rafa/Kyrgios at 3:00 ET.

Yeah, looking at the schedule it should be on Margaret Court Arena early in the day. But, they probably get more ticket sales out of a third show court this way.

Yea you would think the Australians would play Nadal at a more american friendly hour instead of 3am EST. The Slav vs the Kraut at 2:30 isn’t smart either.
