2020 Australian Open

[ss13 1832]

Men’s draw

Fed in Novak’s bottom half. 

 

Women’s draw

Osaka/Serena/Kenin/Yastremska/Wozniacki/Gauff/McNally all in the second quarter. I’m riding the Karolina Pliskova train yet again, eventually it will hit. 

 

Play begins tomorrow (Sunday) at 6p on ESPN2. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

I have Pliskova over Osaka in the finals. On the mens side I think Djokovic over Nadal

The absolute strangest part of the OoP is Stephens gets Court.

Serena only dropped 3 games against Russian teen Potapova

[ss13 1832]

Caroline is rolling Ahn, who isn’t good. 

Hot Sorana sent Strycova home. 

[satyanash 14573]

 

[ss13 1832]

#13 Shapovalov out. 

[ss13 1832]

Petra made Siniakova cry by murdering her 1 & 0 in 51 minutes. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Federer wins easily over the American Steve Johnson 3,2,2

[ss13 1832]

Maria on Laver will piss some people off. 

 

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Gauff takes the first set over Venus

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Gauff defeats Venus in straight sets.....again!

[ss13 1832]

Stosur/McNally next now that Grigor is safely through. 

[ss13 1832]

1 & 4 for the kid, Sam’s homeland nightmares continue. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Sloane bounced in round 1. 

[ss13 1832]

Looking svelte too. 

 

 

[ss13 1832]

Yastremska murdered her opponent 1 & 1, gets Caro next. Could be the end of a great career. 

[ss13 1832]

Maria/Vekic up now. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Still in the 1st round and Opelka becomes the 2nd American man this tournament to lose after being up 2 sets to 0. American mens tennis continues to be a joke

Bye, Maria. 

 

Her & Venus need to make the hard decision.

Yes. She and Venus do. 

👍

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Anisimova hasn't been the same since getting routed by Serena. She just lost the first set to Diyas. Upset alert

[ss13 1832]

Amanda forces 3, Garbine ate a bagel to Shelby Rogers. 

[ss13 1832]

62 UEs for Amanda, holy fuck. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Yikes what a horrible match by Anisimova

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Muguruza lost the first 6 games and has now won 10 out of the last 11. Women

[ss13 1832]

And Elina is currently the clubhouse leader for worst kit. 

 

 

Katie looks damn good in her version. 

[ss13 1832]

Bagel from little CiCi. 

Unfortunately she’s also wearing the above kit. 

[ss13 1832]

0 & 2 in 52 minutes for Miss Bellis, that a girl. 

[ss13 1832]

Petra/Badosa
Naomi/Zheng
Martic/Goerges
Sabalenka/CSN
Kenin/Li
Pavs/Stojanovic 

 

Helluva lot of choices early. 

[ss13 1832]

Missed McNally/Zhang too. 

[ss13 1832]

57 minutes for Kenin.

And here we go. 

[ss13 1832]

McNally bounced. 

[ss13 1832]

Petra/Badosa - Petra, but didn’t play well 
Naomi/Zheng - Naomi in straights 
Martic/Goerges - Julia in a tough 3-setter 
Sabalenka/CSN - Aryna bounced in two LONG sets 
Kenin/Li - Easy 
Pavs/Stojanovic - Pavs in straights

 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Gauff v. Cirstea on

[ss13 1832]

Dayana was up 5-1, down 5-6 now. 

[ss13 1832]

Dayana blows 1-5, then 3-0 to 4-5 in the second, magically needs an MTO now. 

Edited January 22, 2020 by ss13

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Hot Cirstea and Coco going to a 3rd set

[ss13 1832]

The 19-year old will win plenty of Slam matches in her career, but not today. Can’t kill Caro just yet. 

[perfectchaos007 6677]

Coco wins! We'll get Coco v. Osaka part II. Hopefully Coco wins more than 3 games this time.............

[ss13 1832]

This will sting Sorana for awhile.

2nd consecutive slam where she lost to a black American. I attended her last slam loss in September against Townsend

[ss13 1832]

American Tommy Paul sent Grigor home in a 5th set match breaker. He should be disqualified for his shirt though.
