OK Lorenzo. Will you put your finger to your head and win a final or a match that really matters? Outthinking these scrubs in the early rounds isn't all that impressive.

Man, you're hard to impress! He's in the QFs for the first time here, so give him the moment.

Well it does matter to Lorenzo it is the first time he has made the QFs at the AO, regardless of out thinking scrubs in the early rounds.

He made Djokovic work for #101 In Athens last fall! It is Nole's new home, but he still had to work hard w/ Musetti playing quite good!

Agree ,thank goodness I wont be on this blog as I am leaving for Melbourne I dont have to read such crap
Noone is forcing anyone to watch a tennis match if they dont like the player period.

Not sounding especially confident about meeting Novak next, though.

Novak has a commanding H2H over Lorenzo, also he was given a life line with a walk over to the QFs how lucky can Novak get?

Calm down MM. I'm entitled to my opinion. You are the first one to admit he's a major headcase. So excuse me for expecting a bit more from a top 10 player.

Dont tell me to calm down, yes you are entitled to your opinion, like I am, you dont have to watch him okay noone is forcing you
I am pleased because he has made the QF at the AO for the first time.
I have packing to do as I am leaving for Melbourne.

you get really chippy when someone doesn't agree w/ your faves.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Before I go, Tuesdays weather will be 45c one of the hottest days in the history of the event
It is projected to be above 40c 1pm - 8pm

He is not one of my faves okay, I am pleased because 3 Italian men have made the round of 16 at the AO the first time in the history, I happen to be a very proud Italian, lets leave it at that.

In regards to the heat tomorrow the Heat Stress Factor level will be in force
I would imagine the 3 arenas RLA, MC Arena, John Cain Arena, will have the roofs on when the level reaches 5 like it did on Saturday
Also those poor players who are out on outside courts, I assume their matches will be suspended like on Saturday which went for over 5 hours.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The heat stress factor has reached level 4 that means they will be extended breaks the temp has reached 30 c in matches at present

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I have to agree 100% with Gil Gross,
Taylor Fritz should use the first 3 weeks of February to get healthy and build back up, not play tournaments.Once you hit March, the schedule is ruthless

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Unless Zverev reaches another AO final, the winner of #4 vs Musetti #5 on Wednesday will be the new # 3 next Monday

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

QFs start tomorrow, Wednesday 27th January
Predicated temp 43c
Zverev/Tien and Sabalenka/Jovic during the Day session
Gauff/Svitolina and Alcaraz/de Minaur night session
I will not be surprised if these matches will be indoors with the air con ( they better be or I will melt away

Ruud hanging in against Shelton. 2 sets to 1 down but a big hold to nudge ahead 3-2 in the fourth batting away a couple of break points.

 

[britbox]

Shelton breaks for 4-3.

Telephone man sends baby daddy home to baby mama ahead of schedule. I can only guess he needed this cash for his daughter's college fund.
