A*mazing
So true. I can't believe we all had to sit through a gruelling 5-setter against a no-name qualifier. Especially the last set, it took FOR-E-VER.
Thanks I forgot, yeah or Sinner

He may not like playing brick walls, but he is 4-0 against him. Pretty obvious how the match will go, especially with it being at the AO. Expecting an easy straight sets wins in that one.

Sinner is the most likely out of the lot, Medvedev if these courts stay glacial too but he has to get through Carlos and it’s always embarrassing when they play

I would never be a Nole fan.
Statistically when Novak makes the QF, he wins the whole thing. Seems pretty obvious how this goes.

No chance Sinner wins that either. I just can’t see anyone beating him at this point.
They are all playing well though, I’m trying to stay positive even if in the end Djokovic wins another AO.
I can’t complain as Rafa wins RG most years but not expecting it this year and last year Djokovic only won it cause Carlos got cramps or something…

He’s much more likely than Sheldon we saw how this Sheldon match went last time. Sinner has beaten Novak in matches lately and the type that troubles Novak.
Sinners question wasn’t talent it’s whether he’d cook himself by the semi and so far he’s made light work of his draw

That is a bit of a reach and huge assumption. Just because the young guy played well and took a set how can you say he was better than say Van de Zandschulp or a proven player like Gasquet. He is a qualifier & hasn't proven anything yet.
I'm happy to revisit this at end of season but I've seen this story too many times with young payers and I never get sucked in by the commentators.
Anyway agree to disagree.

Sinner is not beating Djokovic in a night match. Calling it right there.
Shelton had more chance of beating Djokovic in a day match next round. Unfortunately not happening now.

Med is on Carlos’ side of the draw and those matches are never close. Carlos just drop shots him Into oblivion

Looks like Rublev in straight sets at the moment. Good result for him.
Lucky the don’t play Wednesday that side of draw it’s 32 degrees…

If you followed his games leading into the AO and last year it wasn’t a draw I was happy with. Said it at the time Novak probably wins but it won’t be easy. Novak weirdly has his worst games against defensive players as he hits a truckload of UE’s,

Even 32 degrees is not THAT hot.
Knew he would win he’s the better player out of the two

How do you know Djoko is playing a day session next round? Please don't tell me that ffs! I have RLA tickets for day session and I don't want to see Novak steam roll Manner
I was hoping to see ADM for the first time against Rublev (likely) that is the pick of the 4 matches.
It is in 5 sets in boiling sun..I think it’s actually hotter on court too
I remember sitting in the crowd and feeling sweaty and hot on a 32 degree day and that’s in the shade lol

I don’t know. I’m just assuming organisers are not stupid enough to put Djokovic vs Mannarino in the night session rather than De Minaur vs Rublev which will be ratings gold for Channel 9 in prime time.
It’s a prediction of it all.
