I'd still go with Med on hard court over Nadal especially after getting his first GS last year

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Sinner +1600 to win AO
Alcaraz +2500



Med the favorite but there just something about this cat that I don't trust like he got some choking gene in him and he don't got the most complete game specially if his serve ain't on fuego. That why he only threat on hard surfaces. Zverev still fades in 5 set matches. Nadal I don't think is winning a slam right off the bat. Tsitsipas I'd look into more for clay season.

I like berrettini as a dark horse more than alcaraz

Intense matches? She won 6-1, 6-1 and 6-1, 7-5.

She already flabby and sick?

When you come back to tennis after a long time away, it's easier to pull something.

She's probably just being cautious. Also, she pulled out of the same tournament last year for similar reasons.

 

[phillycavsfan]

breh she has never looked like someone who was in elite shape but at this point it's always something with her.

If I'm flying my ass all the way to Australia, I'm trying to win that shyt.

if she legit has aliments/injuries along with the mental stuff then she needs to fall back for 6 months

regardless, she's in a much weaker era and should be flat out dominating. Just imagine her in wayyyyyyyyy. better shape, better conditioning and a killer instinct.

That Serena meltdown at the US Open a couple of years ago was a gift she just aint running with the right way

I think people generally overrate Naomi. She's the best hardcourt player in the world when she's on, but she doesn't have a tenth of Serena's dynamism. Even if she was in better shape or stronger mentally, I don't think much would change.

Petkovic summed up the difference between the two pretty well.

very overrated and the tennis world was looking for whoever was up “Next” regardless of her abilities.

She’s playing at a time when she should be destroying her competition if she legit got in the gym and actually lived that Mamba Mentality she talks about

Chick wants all the shyt that comes with fame but doesn’t wanna be famous unless it’s on her terms. Big chunk of it is dealing with the media and the other major part is actually playing.

She and these younger chicks better be glad that they don’t have to deal with what the younger men deal with since Roger/Rafa/Joker literally block them from winning anything.

I find it so weird that a drug cheat like Novak would be so scared of needles

Like bro just slip in the vax between them steroid jabs what's the problem.

good to see Monfils get a title after Covid derailed some of the momentum he was building in 2019/2020

and FAA coming thru in a final...hopefully it releases some of that pressure

Andreescu has shown more variety in her offensive game than Naomi...if she could stay healthy, she'd have a true claim to having "next"

4 grand slams and she’s overrated

i think she’s better on clay than grass but that aint saying much. She gotta learn to embrace clay.

By casuals, I mean. People who only watch the slams.

Man truly owns the AO but the Aussie government is an embarassement lol.

Imagine being Australian and having had to be in lockdowns for months and man just waltz through customs as a proud unvaxxed man. Dude said he caught Covid early december but at no point was he quarantining. Theres pictures of him on IG maskless in public at that time

Their court system sounds like ours in the US.

The Times article I was reading said it's still not set in stone he's gonna be able to play.

Novak Djokovic Can Remain in Australia, Judge Rules

Restoring the visa does not, however, guarantee that Djokovic will be able to vie for his 10th Open title when the tournament begins next Monday. In court, the government’s lawyers warned that the immigration minister could still cancel his visa, which would lead to an automatic three-year ban.

Not sure it'll be triggered but who knows, we'll see in the next few days. Fukkery is already high

I guess they have elections coming up soon. Imagine if Joker's window in Australia got closed because of a re-election campaign.
