Australian Open 2016

[AHLUNGOR]

Well done Daria, into the final 16!

New Aussie darling of tennis !!

I want to hug the whole stadium , she just said , how cute !

[AHLUNGOR]

I'm good from behind !!

She just said that too!

And no doubt about it

[imaragingbull]

Thank god that muppet is now out. It's all (or mostly all) show, but behaving like a spoilt brat is just embarrassing.

[imaragingbull]

Looking forward to watching the serve off between Big Bad John Isner and F-Lo today.

More so, I'm interested in seeing young Osaka take down Azarenka. Maybe Ahlungor has some nice pictures of her too..

Anyone been dominating that William hill offer 'Chase the Ace'. Don't have the statistics at hand, but if you had been playing the big servers in the first 5 days, you'd be very well ahead. Apparently before yesterday over $2 million had been paid out already from just aces (don't know whether to believe that number or not though)

I always support the Aussies whether they are seeded 1 or 101 but I just can't bring myself to support Nick Krygios.
He is such a dickhead.
Hewitt and Cash were brats, but I still supported them because they were Aussies; and they did deliver by winning a few Majors and Grand Slam tournaments and Davis Cups.
But Krygios takes being a dickhead to a whole new level and doesn't even have the game to back up his arrogance and attitude.
Glad he knocked out of the tournament.

Daria will meet Carla Suárez Navarro in the next round and guess what, Carla is only 5/4 and Daria is 5/5 ! now, even though Daria is only ranked 39 vs 11 from Carla, the way she played and now playing against a player shorter than herself, I think Daria can get this !! And next up most likely is Radwanska and she is certainly beatable !!

Go Aussie !! even though she has only just become one of us for a month..............lol

Haha brother Bull,


Thanks for bringing up Naomi Osaka, never heard of her before and didn't realise that she is half Japanese half Tahitian, with her black genes from her father's side, she is 5' 11" !! so definitely won't be disadvantaged with heights against Victoria and Naomi has beaten one Sam Stosur before too !!






Before I searched for Osaka's photo, I was hoping that she may look like her fellow mixed race Japanese girl Ariana Miyamoto aka Miss Universe Japan......haha :

News Flash :
No upset happening between Osaka n Azarenka boys.. Vika is too fucking good for the young Nipon.. Two straight sets in less than an hour.. I think Vika could make it all the way through to the final.. I don't follow the draws, but she's probably gonna meet either Sharapova or Serena in the semi...

F-Lo is up against John Isner as I'm typing.. One set apiece.. I prefer Lopez to win cos he offers more than just quick serves.. Granted, Isner is better at rallies now than 3 years ago, but he won't cause any troubles once you stop his aces..
Just my 2 cents..
Wawrinka is on the court as well... Not many big names today, just Tomic playing Millman for the highlight of the evening matches..

[imaragingbull]

Big Isner with 44 aces today... William Hill will be wondering why on earth they signed up to that promotion... Is a drop in the ocean by them, but is just free money they've been giving away.

Can't be bothered to pull up the draws Khuntong, but she'd be up against those who are playing today. Given Halep (seed 2) was knocked out in the first round, by Zhang. Moral of that story is that she plays Strycova, then likely Kerber, then one of Ivanovic/Keys/Makarova/Konta/Zhang... Not many big names to knock her out before the final really.

Masha and big Serena to meet in the other semi.

[khuntong]

Wawrinka won straight sets earlier.. That guy is showing potential again. I think he's becoming more of a grand slam specialist now.. His backhand is really a joy to watch.. Just beautiful.. His poker face is something too.. Lol.. No emotion whatsoever..

Murray up against Joao Sousa.. At first I thought it was gonna be a walk in the park for Murray.. But watching the game now, it might be a great match. That Sousa guy can play!! His groundstrokes are good, forehands especially..

[rooter]

Serena v the RPS.
It's a no contest.
Serena is so gonna smash her .. 6-3, 6-3.
Serena is the Queen of women's tennis - the greatest of all time.

[SpankyTheMonkey]

I'm good from behind !! She just said that too! And no doubt about it

She's a darling, isnt she? So sweet. I'm sure she's very very good from behind. Wonder what her BF thinks! Lol.

[AHLUNGOR]

She was doing so well tonight, winning the first 6-0, then inexperience told and she pretty much self destructed in the third !

But she got $200K for losing tonight and probably go inside top 30's, we'll be seeing a lot of her.

I think she will play for Aust in the Fed Cup next month, Si more Daza to come !

[AHLUNGOR]

Now that Dasha is gone, I need to turn my attention to the little unknown Chinese girl Zhang Shuai, currently ranked 133 in the WTA !!

Surprisingly, so little has been said about her after she took out the no. 2 seed Halep in straight sets, then it was again straight sets against Cornet (#33) and Lepchenko (#51), and next up she will face off the no. 15 seed Madison Keys, my money is on the Chinese girl, why not ?? For someone who has NEVER won a single match in 14 attempts ! This is one hell of a heart warming story, and she will have a lot of Chinese supporters !!








I so wish it was the other Shuai, Peng Shuai, my favourite Chinese tennis player..............haha

She won the Wimbledon double too, the one on the right !

[khuntong]

Funny thing bro Ah,

I was just about to mention her name in this thread.. She's playing Madison Keys tonight, and if Keys' performance against Ivanovic last round was any indicator, Zhang has a great chance to make it to the last 8.. She's been playing fenomenal so far, hasn't lost a set yet.. Play like she played Halep and she will be winning straight sets for sure..

Wawrinka is in a deep hole here, trailing 0-2 against big serving Canadian Milos Raonic..

Stan the man will get the third set back !

[khuntong]

And he almost break the first game of the 4th set!! But Raonic holds... More to come..

[khuntong]

[khuntong]

I'm so wrong... Lol..
