Against Ash? Fukk no.

Keys has been benefitting from her opponents (Badosa and Krej especially) dealing with the deadly of her power plus the crazy Australia heat. That semi will be held at night. Plus if there's any player that can absorb Madi's power, it's Barty.

Can we at least hope, I know her chances are slim

Dare I say Shapovalov is a mental midget

He still acts like a spoiled brat when things aren't going his way. Even though Felix hasn't won a tournament yet, I'd still bet on him to win a first grand slam before Shapo.

@Regular_P I dont like the way this is looking

We just gotta hope that knucklehead Medvedev doesn't blow it before the Finals.

Will keys finally get over the hump?

Barty too steady imo. Keys not gonna “out tennis” her if Barty on her game. She better redline and go for broke

Who the hell is Shapo’s coach because he just seems to hit hard all the time and hope for the best. Rafa was damn near begging him to finish him off and he just choked as usual.

I fancy Mateo’s chances against Rafa if he’s serving well. But if Rafa gets him on the run or/and starts going Mateo’s backhand….it’ll be USO 2019 all
Over again

Nadal on the same potential path as USO19 although Matteo and Med have improved since then

Women's side I think its Barty's time, she has played great all tournament and has the home country support

Tini's backhand is ass. Nadal's gonna target it every single point.

I read Mateo is 22-0 in his last few grand slams against everyone not named Novak. I didnt fact check it but it does seem interesting...

Berrettini just has to channel Del Potro in 2009, and he'll win

damn what a way to win a match

That last point removed my anger of the length of the match delaying the sinner start time

I was like alright fine I'll allow it

Tecnifibre family on the come up. I'll be interested to see how much they stick with the brand or switch to Lacoste after the purchase

Pals I recently got the Head Boom Pro racquet and it's real good

On first try I couldnt hit a good forehand to save my life with it but after a ton of lead tape it hits like a beast

For some reason it's absolutely magical on the backhand slice havent had that feeling on a backhand slice since the Prince Thunderlite from around 1998-2001

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

@Art Barr you watching any of the aussie? Gotten back on the court?

 

[UpAndComing]

damn what a way to win a match

Damn, I wasn't watching. Who won?

Swiatek

Both players were choking in the 2nd and 3rd. It was pretty low quality imo. But the last point was truly stellar
