Australian Open 2018 (15-28 Jan).

[Master Splinter]

Kerber v Halep is ridiculous.

Currently 6-6 in the third set. Both have served for the match and saved match points.

The standard of play, especially in this set, has been vintage Nadal v Djokovic levels of inhuman athleticism.

[Master Splinter]

Halep finally wins 6-3 4-6 9-7!!

Incredible match.

There'll be a new ladies Aussie Open champion and a new Grand Slam winner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Halep, finally getting it together?

[Master Splinter]

They're both nearly women up to this point. Wozniacki because of her conservative game and Halep because of her mentality in the big moments.

If Halep doesn't get it together now, she surely never will. But a post-Slam mega slump is almost certainly on the cards if you look at all the recent winners in the women's game not named named Sugarpova or Serena.

[Master Splinter]

The tie to decide who Federer will despatch in the final coming up.

[Master Splinter]

Cilic up a break at 4-2.

Cilic takes the first set 6-2.
