Aus Open Day 8

Very important game for Chung if he wants to have a chance to win this.

Thiem gone, no surprise.

Tenez wrote:And I don;t think Djoko cares much about Nadal's intensity.

Of course he does. He's not going to beat Nadal in a 5 hour match in this shape. Besides, his serve will fold sometime against a rabid Nadal

Thiem out... pathetic !!

Whatever I once I liked about his game is fading  too fast..

Chung has poor net game.. he is good off both wings from baseline but lacks the all court game...

Winner of this surely makes the semi.

C'mon Chung! I want a 5 setter now.

Outrageous girlie play by Djokovic. The male Sriekapova.

Chung is mostly a  road-runner.. defends too much

Really? Not just do it in three?

Ten wants a tired semifinalist opponent for Fed.. no matter who he is.

Looking good, go go go one more set

And rightfully so. Compensation for his age

Come on Djoko, tire that roadrunner jr

A young roadrunner won’t be beaten by Fed on tiredness.

Chung has a lot of weaknesses that Fed would work out.

I think he has Djoko on the ropes. They all end up very tired against Chung.

The first Zverev retired, Medvedev took 1 and 1 in the last 2 sets and the second Zverev took 2 and 0!!!

he is the new lungs buster!

Yeah, but only if you stand and rally. He’s got a rubbish serve so take that apart.

Wow...beautifully saved that 2 BPs. He can hit the ball too!

Stamina is not that good in youngsters.

Sure, but thats his home and where he spends time when not playing. Otherwise most boring city I ever been.

Djokos into full “exhausted warrior” mode now.

I agree it's annoying this shouting fron Djoko.

Recovery is though

Chung is strong mentally...cause he is physically I guess.

yep. Though we have not seen much of it in youngsters in the last 40 slams.

They’ve both messed up break chances these last two games. Chung was bad but Djokos was highlights reel laughs.

Stepanek is just a clown. He checks first he is on camera before applauding his student!

There always is a strong element of the absurd in any Djokovic camp.

We are dealing with a future slam champion. He has the mental strength and he is more than a retriever. He can push on the accelerator when needed.

Especially considering Chung has not played that many matches in the last 2 years and even less than most youngsters versus top players.

Chung seems to lose the first point of almost every service game.

SHUT THE F UP IN RALLIES, DJOKOVIC!!

Djoko's shouting is cheating really. He shouts way after he hits the ball.

Chung truly is Djoko 2.0

Amazing mental strength from Chung. 5 all 0/30 on his serve...pulls 4 winners in a row! Impressive for such a young age.

yes but more gutsy shots.

bogbrush wrote:SHUT THE F UP IN RALLIES, DJOKOVIC!!

So annoying cause you know he does it to break his opponent's rhtym.

Fed'd be better off with Djoko than Chung. Too fresh, no mental scars, too fit

Yeah, the way Djoko famously "chances direction" of the ball, Chung simply does better.

Thta's so funny!

Chung is a physical beast of the highest order. 
Step aside roadrunners, your time is up

Chung needs some pop on that first serve. Motion reminds me of Roddick. If only it had the same potency.

He is amazingly strong both physically and mentally. I can see the future slams being disputed between Shapo and Chung.

Zverev can sort it out with Coric, he is not in the same league.

Chung: "I just try to copy my idol Novak"

Well, anyone who thinks that Chung can be taken lightly or for granted is a fool.  

That said, and very much on paper at least, the draw has fallen open better for Federer than it has for Nadal in two ways: more higher ranked players have fallen by the way side in Fed's half than Nadal's so far, which has gone largely as seeded, and Nadal therefore faces the higher prospective ranked opponents between him and the final than Federer does.

Hope he doesn't get it otherwise he woudl be unstoppable.

Did he say that? Oh dear!

Well those few free points would save a load of time on court!!
