Australian Open [Men] - Grand Slam

There was a near stampede of Karen Khachanov fans running for the Melbourne Bars to celebrate.

Am I the only guy on earth who likes KK?

He's a bit of ball basher. I'd like to see him develop some other weapons and then maybe I can watch his matches

I agree with you on this. He looks a bit like Fred Flintstone, and he hits the ball like Bam-Bam.

Stefanos/Raonic stands out among the men's matches. Raonic always gives off that dangerous floater vibe.

Cliff Drysdale says he gives Raonic the edge. Jeepers, I hope not.

I dont mind the match up between Cilic and Bautista Agut...I am not sure if they have met before,Bautista played so well in the ATP Cup.

I see Hewitt is playing in the doubles with Thompson. I rather like that. I have hopes that some of the great singles players extend their careers into doubles after they retire from singles, like JMac and Martina did. Not sure who I'd predict, (Feli Lopez? for example?) but it's good to inject some star-power into the doubles.

Raonic had a great run last year in Melbourne. He defeated Kyrgios, Wawrinka and Sasha Zverev.

How fit is he ATM?

If Diego can finish this match in 3 sets, I can see him taking a set off from Djokovic next round. He is playing well right now and he still has the adrenaline from the ATP Cup

How fit is he ATM?

There is no moment when he is 100% fit. He may start a match fit but pulls an eyelash or something.

Just saw an absolute beuty BH drop shot winner from behind the baseline by Lajovic.

Schwartzman gets it done!

Just kill me now. Dutzi serves an ace on SP and is called out by the line judge. The umpire decided a replay. It gives a lifeline to Schwartzman and he takes the set in the end, thus the whole match.

Well done Shorty!

That set should have been over, but it was not an ace, was it? The shorty just returned it wide. I guess that's why the ump ordered a replay , because Diego got a racket on it. It was the wrong call either way.

Sorry, was not an ace. But a valid point. Definitely a bad call.

Marci Fucsovics keeps chugging along. Good for him.

The Millman beat Federer at the US Open in 2018, and I remember donkeys flew.

Federer lost to Millman in straight sets LoL, amazing.
