Australian Open 2014 (13 Jan - 26 Jan).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Feed. :bow:

The surface and balls used this year are supposed to be akin to the tournament in Brisbane i.e faster than usual.

Old Man Fed is seeded sixth and Muzza is seeded fourth so likely to be some tasty QF/SF projections that never occur.

The draw is still to be made.

[Master Splinter]

I'll get some early predictions in:

Djokovic and Serena.

A bit boring, but Djokovic is little bit dominant here and Azarenka's form is iffy, so Serena's the only viable option really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo will play Flipkens in the first round.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Men's draw now. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal vs Tomic. :haha:

Djokovic has Lacko.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza has Soeda.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza, Del Potro, Fed and Nadal all on the same side of the draw. :doh:

Muzza and Old Man Feed seeded for a QF match.

Del Potro and Nadal for QF.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed would face Tsonga in the last 16. :haha:

:(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed has Duckworth in the First Round. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sod it. Old Man Fed and Azarenka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor start Robbo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Flipkens.

Brits in Australia. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a double fault gives it away. That was pathetic.

Flipkens leads 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo on the board, a bit of ballbashing gets the job done.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Venus up a break on Makarova.

Kerber giving Gajdosova of Australia a beating - 3-0 already.

Flipkens holds easily again, 1-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Makarova breaks back. Venus. :doh:

Retirement can't be far away for her, at least from singles matches anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Apparently good news from Watson's court is that she is managing to stay on serve. Three games in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great passing shot from Flipkens, 2-4 she leads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo is serving bombs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stan up a break on Golubev now and leads 4-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo serving to stay in the first set and keep me awake for a bit longer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two set points for Flipkens. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a tame one in to the net gives Flipkens the first set 6-3! That was rather simple tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo's double faults are back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Venus gives Makarova a 6-2 pasting in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kerber takes the first set against Gajdosova 6-3.

Karlovic and Dodig in a first set tie-break. :faint:

Battle of Croatia. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Flipkens breaks again and leads 4-0 in the second set. This is horrific.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo serving to avoid a bagel and being booted out of the Australian Open.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robbo with a dreadful backhand in to the net.

Flipkens batters Robbo 6-3 6-0. Robson had an absolute stinker. :wave:

And that's it for me.

[-Xs-]

Near 40 degrees tomorrow in Melbourne. :o

Forecast to be over 40 for the rest of the week. Our summer has finally arrived. It's Melbourne though, so it will be down to the 20's next week

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Enjoy it. I guess the extreme weather ruling will mean the roofs are closed there.

Berdych beat Nedovyesov 6-3 6-4 6-3.

Kvitova. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lisicki beats Lucic-Baroni 6-2 6-1. :bow:

Lacko with the pointless behind his body tekkers - still gets a winner put against him.

[Master Splinter]

Robbo :doh:.

Kvitova :haha:.

Crippz woz rite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Play in a minute. :popcorn:

Might get to see some of Muzza's match live but will most likely miss all of Feed's. Nadal - Tomic should be on at 8am roughly, however.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Jack Duckworth :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Larsson breaks again and will serve for the first set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tomic holds, leads 0-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tomic calls for the trainer

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tomic leads 2-3, still hobbling though.

[Master Splinter]

Will Tomic last the set?

None of the supposed future challengers to the Big 4 (not Ferrer) seem to have any stamina. Even Del Potro often wilts.

Djokovic/Murray/Nadal won't have any serious challengers for a while yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Svitolina knocks out Kuznetsova 6-3 6-3. :blink:

Monfils beats Harrison 6-4 6-4 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal takes the first set 6-4.

Awlful species.

Obviously Serena would have won if she hadn't been injured, but it's still funny. Why don't people wait until at least half-way through a season before proclaiming a sporting clean sweep is on the cards? It was her coach/boyfriend as well :lol:. Kompany should take heed.

Serena :haha:.

My prediction :haha:.

Easy +1 for Azarenka tbh.

Feederer v Tsonga. :popcorn:

I think Feed will win in 4.

Muzza plays last on Hisense.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Going to miss Old Man Feed - Tsonga. :(

Was a very good match last year at the AO. Same result hopefully. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cibulkova dumped Sugarpova out! :haha:

3-6 6-4 6-1.

Halep beat Jankovic 6-4 2-6 6-0.

Azarenka easily beat Stephens 6-3 6-2.

Dimitrov beat Bautista-Agut 6-3 3-6 6-2 6-4 and will likely play Nadal next as he is two sets and a break up on JSAOs son.

Muzza up two sets on Robert.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal beats Nishikori 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 7-6 (7-3).

[Master Splinter]

What happened to Maccy?


Sugarpova :haha: :haha:.

Nadal beat Nishikori 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 7-6 (7-3). JSAO clan :rose:.

Muzza won 6-1 6-2 6-7 (6-8) 6-2. Customary self-inflicted meltdown in the third after letting match points slip. :doh:

Federer killed Tsonga 6-3 7-5 6-4. Didn't see much of it, but Federer was apparently playing like Federer for most of the match. A +1 :bow: for a great display in the absence of the number one Fedtard.

Radwanska slapped down Muguruza 6-1 6-3 after an initially close few games. Hope she's properly back on form so she can have a real go at the title.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I did say I'd miss it. Recorded it though, which is good because he reinitiated JesusFed by the sounds of it. :bow:

A very happy Fedtard today.

[Master Splinter]

Mugray the pusher :lol:.

FedGod will own him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just watched it, JesusFed definitely there in the first set - mostly Cruiserer afterwards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bouchard beat Ivanovic 5-7 7-5 6-2. :o

Well done to her.

Li Na beat Pennetta 6-2 6-2.

Berdych just took out David Ferrer 6-1 6-4 2-6 6-4.

Djokovic v Wawrinka turning out to be another classic.

Currently 6-2 4-6 2-6 5-3. Stan was broken when 40-0 up at 3-4. :doh:

Djokovic serving for the fourth set.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic saves a break point and wins the fourth set with an ace, 6-3.

Stan really fucked up at 3-4.

This is probably going to go one way now.

[Master Splinter]

Those miraculous returns into the corners by Djokovic are just plain unfair.

He's seems to be nullifying Stan's insanely powerful hitting now.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic breaks to go 2-1 up in the fifth. Brilliant tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Wawrinka breaks straight back! 2-2.

Djokovic :lol:.

Come on Fat Stan :scarf:.

[Master Splinter]

Stan saves a break point after a ridiculous 32-shot rally.

[Master Splinter]

Stan holds.

3-2.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic serving to stay in the tournament at 4-5 down.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic holds easily, again.

5-5.

[Master Splinter]

It's raining.

Aussie weather :doh:.

[Master Splinter]

6-5 Wawrinka.

Djokovic serving for survival again.

[Master Splinter]

Another love game for Djokovic. :lol:

6-6.

[Master Splinter]

7-6 Wawrinka.

Stan wins a point on Djokovic's serve after ages :bow:.

But Djokovic holds again.

7-7.

[Master Splinter]

Match point for Stan!
