Grand Slam Australian Open 2024 - Day 1

[Xtreme]

Kubler looking good one minute
Wheels falling off the next

Been to both actually luckily been to all of them. Night session with say Tiafoe or whatever can get very rowdy!

I don’t really have an interest in Tiafoe’s game so don’t really watch him, but I am picturing a Kyrgios type hostile crowd.

Sometimes the top players have a big say in what time they prefer to play. Plus Novak is the defending champ so he will have the marquee time. With the late start it has shown no respect to the women's defending champ Sabalenka. She should of been the second match on RLA and had Sinner play first. Absolutely disrespectful.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

yeah, they do now. Barty was always first on for example.

Back 7-8 years ago, 90% of the time the womens match was first. Think Venus v whoever before the Hewitt Baggy match.

Yep we use to frequent the night matches every year and they’d always have women first men second.

 

[YeoShuey]

Lots of money for a first round exit. So there’s that at least.

I feel like a lot of Aussie players are like that

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

I bet half the crowd goes home too after the men’s…not many ppl care to watch the women’s, that’s another reason they should put the women’s on first

Hopefully Sabas beats her opponent quickly

If I was going to the tennis at night time I would have to have the next day off to recover. Galan has broken back held serve. Kubler needs to hold to stay in the match.

Game won't start until after 11 and trains stop at like 12:30.

Yep can get worse especially if he starts losing

Medvedev playing there the crowd is worse than anything the AO serves up

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Might have to be a breadstick

Game won't start until after 11 and trains stop at like 12:30.

At least Sabalenka will belt her opponent but it ain’t starting till 11:30 there’s a minimum 20 min between matches

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Hopefully Sabas beats her opponent quickly

I want an upset myself lol

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

The pressure De Minaur will be under tommrow night is huge the whole of Australia will be watching and now is a top 10 player

Hope he's ready

I expect him to win but I won’t be surprised if he loses.

 

[Drummond]

Okay now this is annoying.

Hanging on by a thread is the young man, good on him

Wish he’d just lose

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I want an upset myself lol

Nah hope she blasts her opponent of the court

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Wish he’d just lose

Don’t you like him having a challenge, you never know it might fire him up for the next rounds

 

[Drummond]

That’s the wildest serve I’ve ever seen lol

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Turned it over to Kubler last set TB

 

[YeoShuey]

Don’t you like him having a challenge, you never know it might fire him up for the next rounds

Prizmic playing outstandingly. He looks like a Top 10 player. I hope he returns to AO next year and is not against Djokovic Round 1 again.
