Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Sat Jan 19, 2013 1:34 pm

The schedule is out for tomorrow:

1. David Ferrer (ESP) { 20 }

vKei Nishikori (JPN) { 32}

Since both players ranked within 16, added 16 more to their value.

My take Nishikori.

2. Ana Ivanovic (SRB) { 29 }

vAgnieszka Radwanska (POL) { 20 }

My take Radwanska

3.
Novak Djokovic (SRB) {17}

vStanislas Wawrinka (SUI) {31}

Djokovic for sure.

4.
Nicolas Almagro (ESP) {26}
vJanko Tipsarevic (SRB) {24}

Almagro.

5.
Kevin Anderson (RSA) [33]

vTomas Berdych (CZE) [5]

Anderson..

Would love to see Stan, Gasquet and Fed all making QF. Is it too much to ask for? Maybe throw in Almagro for good measure too.

by Tenez Sat Jan 19, 2013 7:05 pm

hear, hear!

the wall, polski, djoker, anteater, bird bird bird bird is the word

by summerblues Sat Jan 19, 2013 11:54 pm

Just checked and it has been over six years since Stan last beat Novak. That does not look promising.

by summerblues Sun Jan 20, 2013 2:50 am

Kei loses the first set to Ferrer Sad

by summerblues Sun Jan 20, 2013 3:28 am

Kei finally breaks. Too little too late?

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Sun Jan 20, 2013 3:29 am

And even the 2nd set. He called the trainer, perhaps he is injured. I remember he was even injured on one of the build-ups to AO tournaments this year.

Right. Its a tough ask especially in bo5 format.

One granted.. Almagro through as Tipsy retires..

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Sun Jan 20, 2013 8:56 am

Berd looks good to take it.. some good tennis from him

by raiders_of_the_lost_ark Sun Jan 20, 2013 9:01 am

Looks like a lazy sunday today. No one online and its evening match already in AO.

Can't believe Tipsarevic retired....again!
All nice to flex your guns when winning, but not so good at taking a defeat on the chin.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 20, 2013 9:48 am

Jst noticed NOles' had his Champion's haircut done, BEWARE Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013 2506191376

I noticed Stan's backhand has been better than ever recently, real, proper potent weapon now.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 20, 2013 9:50 am

Stan breaks: I can see Murray's and Fed's fans leap from behind the sofas high in the air, watch your heads on those ceilings! Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013 2033450363

I am NOT behind the sofa.
COME ON NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

by luvsports! Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:01 am

wow 5-1 wth??

by Tenez Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:03 am

Can anybody here again that the more talented player is not the one with the better ranking? Djoko is fitter, stronger and moving faster than Stan...yet he is 1/4 down.

However see Djoko throwing more and more longer rallies to blunt that beautiful edge.

I don't think he'll blunt Stan, he's attacking atm.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:04 am

Get that wretched first serve in NOLE!!!!!!!! Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013 49141995

NO he is not. More top spin, longer rallies and Stan's edge will go off soon.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:10 am

Nole breaks: shaken but not stirred! Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013 83870220

GO NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Stan continues like in the 1st set, blutning won't work, so attacking it will be Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013 49141995

Nole running 3 or 4m behind teh baseline doing the screen whipper. C'mon NITB, drop your man and pick the right one! Winking

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:14 am

Definitely slow on his feet for some reason, WAKE UP NOLE Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 7 20-Jan-2013 3803388186

If Djoko had not that speed and stamina it would be a 61 61 61 for Stan.

by luvsports! Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:17 am

djoko going to ultra grinding mode surely

Yeah, and if he only had one leg, it would be a triple bagel, too.

by noleisthebest Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:18 am

C'mon Nole, let's see that FIRE roar now!

You bet. It's his only chance. Every shot of stan is hurting more than Djoko's.
