Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Round 1+2

[Aristotle Pickett]

Why are people talking about this in the tennis thread? Please take it elsewhere.

We don't come here for politics.

Ok mate, I'll bury my head in the sand.

My profile pic might give it away, but as a lover of wrasslin, I love a good old fashion arrogant cocky heel!

All the better when they finally get their comeuppance (which she no doubt will)

Better than the numerous dour and personality-free drug cheats running around

I agree, I enjoy a heel like her because it's incredibly satisfying when they get bundled out. Collins does come across as a bit of a bitter twat at times though.

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'll see you all tomorrow enjoy the tennis

 

[YeoShuey]

Will Medvedev be second rounded??

If Tien keeps playing like that, probably.

 

[Mr Meow]

Ok mate, I'll bury my head in the sand.

Does someone hit you if you're not insufferable on this forum for a single day?

We're here to talk about the sport we are watching. Nothing else.

Great set, that one, by the way. No political message required.

 

[Xtreme]

Medders in strife

STONE THE FLAMIN CROWS

 

[YeoShuey]

If Tien ends up winning this, one of Sonego, Marozsan, Moutet or Tien will end up making the Quaterfinals.

Hopefully Sonego

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Sweet lob from Tien

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Tien has played the perfect match here, it's only Medvedev's tennis brain that can come back from here.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Tien you absolute ripper.

 

[Mr Meow]

Tien has been fantastic but a few crucial errors in this tiebreak.

 

[Mr Meow]

He's made up for it now!

 

[juice t]

One of these two is a walking target on Saturday

Is Moutet actually that good? Haven't seen him play.

 

[juice t]

And now Medvedev has Tien where he wants him

The endless murderous grind of a potential 5-setter

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Top quality tennis from Tien and Medvedev. Match of the tournament.

 

[Xtreme]

Medders lives

This might go till 4am!!

 

[YeoShuey]

Medvedev not looking well these past 2 rounds. Better competition and I think he is out.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

From what I read, I can't see how it is his fault? Physio used cream, didn't he?

Yep honestly nothing to see really

So often the case with the younger, lower ranked player. Can't quite close out a 3rd or 4th set win when they're up, then the better player wills their way through.

We'll see if Tien bucks the trend. Medvedev still doesn't look in his absolute top form.

In this case Medvedev will try and shithouse his way through it

Just like Essendon using the bad thymo not the good thymo!!!!!

 

[Plugger35]

Mad Med is in for a contest here.

Surely he can take this to five.

Am I watching this live?

 

[Plugger35]

Big rally on the first game of the 5th set, this could go down to the wire.

 

[Mr Meow]

This game is huge. Tien probably needs the early break.
