Federer is on Nadal's side of the draw, Zverev on Djokovic's.

Federer should have a good run if the court speed is the same as the last two years.

Djokobot has returned though.

Muzza's swansong most likely also.

Muzza was two sets done and looking like he's going out in straight sets.

Won the next two sets 7-6, 7-6 and onto the decider.

McNamara That Ghost...
20-01-2019, 12:06 PM
He has Bautista Agut next so he has a good chance to make the semi-final, unless Bautista-Agut does his roadrunner routine again.

Mac76
20-01-2019, 12:11 PM
As long as his leg problem wasn't significant he's got a decent chance

Have to say i thought federer would probably save the match but tsitsipas really held his nerve

It can't be 5 hours and 56 with a fifth set tie break this time, I'd have thought.

McNamara That Ghost...
27-01-2019, 09:34 AM
Nadal fucks it up at the net. :rose:

McNamara That Ghost...
27-01-2019, 09:44 AM
Two break points for Djokovic.

Nadal can't anywhere on Djokovic's serve yet in danger on his all the time. It's not hard to see a Djokovic win here.

McNamara That Ghost...
27-01-2019, 09:44 AM

No issues here for Nadal, he has it in the bag.

McNamara That Ghost...
27-01-2019, 10:19 AM

McNamara That Ghost...
27-01-2019, 10:50 AM
Djokovic eviscerates Nadal 6-3 6-2 6-3! That was not at all a contest. :lol:

His 7th Australian open, Third slam in a row (again) and 15th overall!!

All in all, the reign of terror is well and truly back.

Also, Sampras. :haha:

Wilander. :doh:

An embarrasment as a commentator.

Nadal still has a chance at lifting the trophy before Djokovic of course.

McNamara That Ghost...
27-01-2019, 10:53 AM
That means now all of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic are seperated from the rest in the Slam rankings.
