Australian Open Day 10-14 - Djokurray! And others! :P

First topic message reminder :

Well some of you hardcore mob will no doubt be up watching the first round matches and even up first thing if your boarding the Fed Express. I will be utilising the power of Sky+!

So we have Federer, Nadal, Murray, Berdych, Gulbis and Dimitov all in action on the men's side.

On the ladies we have Halep, Sharapova, Bouchard, Ivanovic, Kerber and young gun Bencic.

Should be an action packed day.

Kneel before Zod!

Hahaha, I will Master

Oh my god, has there ever been a more useless villain than General Zod?

Dimi breaks back. Cracking game that (well the tennis was superb).

How random. They show a tweet from Bouchard.

Grisha!!! I love this Bulgarian

He was pretty cool you have to understand the time, back then when you are a kid Zod was scary.

Zod was awesome!

Kyrgios wins in five sets in just over three and a half hours.

Have to feel sorry for Seppi as he by no means played bad but credit to the young Aussie.

Krogi wins, good play from both, and well done to Korgi for not being scared in tight points.

Seppi deserves some credit too.

Well Kyrgios won't have any left in the tank. 2 5 setters and a 4 setter in the legs.

I can only assume he had to be, Socal... They obviously thought he was scary enough to warrant a reprise. As a rule, I'll be honest and say I find the Superman universe rather flat

It has to do with the fact that he is invincible except to Kryptonite. Batman is darker, more flawed, more vulnerable and not so freaking perfect.

Oh my god, Murray is genuinely playing stunning tennis here.

Dimi holds his serve and leads 5-4. Chances missed for Murray. Will they come back to haunt him? It will be interesting to see how he serves in a real pressure situation in the next game.

A bit of an exaggeration but yes he is playing well.

I do like Batman. Would never have been created today, mind you. A vigilante who watched his parents die... Ni network would touch it

He's playing better here than he did in USO 2012 (his hard court Grand Slam win) imo.

Back to the tennis. Dimi needs to steal this set, by hook or by crook

Rasheed looks like a Hitman.

Solid hold for Murray - 5-5. Dimi having to do a heck of a lot more work to stay in rallies - I think that will tell later.

Murray just eating the court up!!

He looks like Dr. 90210

Well Murray to serve out for the 2nd set!!

Must be that Primark chav wear!

Great game by Muzza and breaks at a key time to serve for the set at 6-5. Again that serve will come under scrutiny.

That's just ridiculous from Murray...

Well it sure beats Berdy's ghastly H & M kit.

Dimi sniffing a break at 0-30.

No it does not!!! Berdy at least gets flowers

2 BP Dimi, come on give us 4 sets at least.

LOL, but what do you expect from Amritia. An ingratiate.

Yeah, that was on the chin from CC.

Murray saves two break points. 40-40

Bet Grigor would like that one back again.

Do something Dimi!!

This set is basically GSM for Murray.

And Dimi with another break point......

Gets it.

TB for Dimi...

And the double fault and Dimi breaks. We go to a tie-break.

Matts made a good point about movement.

Murray has much more efficient footwork.

Dimi scampers around off balance. Fast but inefficient.

If Andy loses this set he will really kick himself as he has done all the running.

Line people helping Andy, as Dimi crushes the FH.

Dear Andy,

F*ck off with the cr@p lobs already!

Oh what a point!

Sorry Muzza but you threw that point away. But fabulous from Dimi.

That overhead was pathetic!

Omg Dimi on some Sugarpova sweets.

Come on!!!
