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.

Yes that is why Murray leads the head-to-head 4-2.

Will be 3-4 soon enough. Including that humilation job at Wimbledon #YoureWelcome

And still they will dismisss it as a BLIP and find excuses as to why Mr NoSecondServe failed and still maintain he is a BIG 4 player

Remind us how your favourite player got on?

He's gotta give the others a chance once in a while.

My favourite is still around so far, weird comment.

So you have changed alliances again???

From who?

Would you like me to dig the thread out? Because trust me it wasn't Stan you were rooting for a couple of years ago

Oh Dimmiiii

back to th tennis murray breaks 5-3

If this goes to five sets, you can pencil Nadal in for the final.

Good man, lets hope he delivers

Josiah, stop pretending not to be a Nadal fan.

Hahahhaha IMBL.

Rooting for someone else does not make them my favourite

Much better... taking the opportunity rather than just hoping Dimi misses

Murray takes the third set 6-3 and the noise levels go down on the forum from some.

I am for Stan and anybody that beats Djoko

Dimi gifts the set to Andy

Ooooooh errrrrrr

Dimitrov has actually played some superb tennis, but Murray has just been sublime.

Yes, tempo21 in a Ninja mood today

Back to this match it is insulting that these 2 men are slam winners/future slam winners.

Josiah Maiestas wrote:Rooting for someone else does not make them my favourite

Well when asked who your favourite was on that thread it wasn't Stan

IMBL, sublime is nowhere to be seen today.

Stop with these  big inter-planetary words

Good set from Andy; Dimi playing well yet Andy managed to win the set without having to go deep to 7:5 or 7:6.

To be frank with you, we are getting sick as mods having to deal with all this baiting every single time a big player so much as loses a set. It gets hard to keep new posters because of it, and if im honest we dont expect people of your ages to be doing this all the time. Its not everyone but it clearly derailing this topic, soo lets get back to the tennis

Are you watching ?

Murray's backhand has been a bludgeoning menace, Dimitrov's forehand has been laser precise but it can't break down Murray who's running like a cheetah with a rocket booster.

Murray needs to keep up the pressure, he must not go passive. Dimis job is easier, smack every ball.

Grigor has lost the guts that he displayed last summer sadly. Looking pretty ominous this is

tempo21, keep it up and dont give up

IMBL, you are just trying to become a friend with CC, with you pro-Andy God comments

Well it is what I said pre-match - Murray stays aggressive and he wins but goes too passive he'll lose more points than he wins.

It Must Be Love?

Murray has improved hugely from last year, he was really poor at Wimbledon. Dimitrov is playing well here, like he played well at Wimbledon, but he just doesn't have the ability to sustain the tennis he's playing consistently for longer periods.

Yeah, Dimi bit of a weak stamina.

Break him Dimiiii BP

And he does.

Come on Grigor!

Yes!

Murray's quarter is decimated, whoever makes it to the semi final will be in bad shape for a match against Nadal/Berdych

Has Dimi ever beaten a top ten player in a five setter.

What ?
1 5 setter is not really decimating, kyrgios may be tired for his QF; but Murray with his fitness won't be tired for the QF or SF.

Dimi would have had back to back five setters if he wins. Kyrgios has been on a bit of a gauntlet himself. Murray is reasonably reasonably sharp, I'm expecting the QF, with a home crowd to be a war again.

If Andy gets there...

Thats it Dimi, keep it up.

4:1 not bad not bad.

I fancy Murray to break back now and make it 4-3.

Has anyone bought a Kia/Peugeot cause of Nadal/Djoko?

Jahu wrote:Has anyone bought a Kia/Peugeot cause of Nadal/Djoko?

I order NIKE kits because of Nadal, but I don't think people get cars based on their favourite player.

Apparently Krygios has been playing with some sort of minor back injury since the start of the tournament, but it clearly isn't affecting his play much. His coach has reportedly been surprised by his durability, but I'm not sure how much further he can go. Fantastic comeback today though

Looks like there have been some unannounced mod edits on the previous page.

IMBL, sure kit is fine, so no logic getting superstars to advert Cars.

Don't think Dimi can win the fifth, though Andy does not look any better, but does have more power in the reserve for fifth set then Dimi.

This match is quite physical.

Does Murray still have a negative H2H vs Berdych, or has he managed to turn that around ?

Nope, still 6-4 to Berdych.

SP. Murray needs to hold, can't let Dimi serve first in the final set...

Break him again Dimiiiii
