Brisbane ATP 250 - Jan 4th to 11th 2015

[herios]

A good start by the the 3rd Aussie in a row, Tomic takes down Querrey in straight sets.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Troiki bites dust in the last round of qualifying. He will probably sign up for the qualifying in
Sydney now.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Tomic and Kokinakis play against each other in 2nd round. This is certainly for the title of
the best up and coming Aussie youngster title and so lot at stake. I give a slight edge to
Kokkinakis.

 

[TsarMatt]

Well done, Nard Dog. He looks a lot fitter this year, and he had a good level of concentration in the match.

Can't wait for his 2nd round encounter with Kokkinakis. Should be a really interesting match.

Tomic's up and coming days are way behind him brother...he is already going for the comeback player of the year

Another upset:

Kubot - Anderson 7-6, 6-4

Kokkinakis/Dimitrov d Chardy/Kubot 63 36 10-8

Groth is up a set and two breaks against Hewitt.

He is GOATing.

Groth eliminates easily Hewitt, 6-3, 6-2.

Groth eliminates easily Hewitt, 6-3, 6-2.

Really sad for old lion

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Really looking forward to the match between my fav Aussie youngster Kokkinakis v Tomic

I feel he has a good chance of defeating Tomic,I also feel that at 18 years of age he has a better overall court game than Kyrgios,I like his cool attitude on court,he just plays his game,I also watched his doubles match with Dimitrov yesterday,his return fhand winner won them the match.

 

[Murat B.]

Looks like Hewitt will not be defending anything. Kudos to Groth.

 

[herios]

Dolgopolov - Klizan split the first two sets, going into a decider

 

[TsarMatt]

I can't wait for Tomic vs. Kokkinakis. Australian bragging rights on the line!

 

[isabelle]

Chardy and the Dog out

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Love the variety Kokkinakis is displaying on court,trying to keep Tomic off balance

Must say I am impressed with the improved movement from Tomic,must have been working hard in the off season

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Love the Kokkinakis fhand,at times laser like,wait till he matures physically...it will be quite Scary

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tomic really upped his game in the t/break,played well,deserved to win the 1st set 76(2),experience showed.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kokkinakis seems flat at the moment,Tomic gets the break early in the 2nd set,Tomic serving well,he consolidates his break,in control of this match,leads 4-1 2nd set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tomic d Kokkinakis 76(2) 61...a well played match from Tomic,he deserved his win,one of the most outstanding factors was the improvement in his overall court movement,he has worked hard in the off season and it showed on court,Kokkinakis will learn a lot from this match.
