Loki Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 As well as Felix played, he bottles every big match he’s ever played. There will be plenty of opportunities for him though, to get over that hurdle. I’m not even going to bother watching the Tsitsipas Medvedev semi. Both players 10 feet behind the baseline playing pong until someone makes an error. Tsitsipas will have to play exceptionally well to win. Can see it going exactly the same way as last years semi. But if he moves forward a bit more he’ll be able to cut Medvedev out with the angles from his backhand Berretini has the best chance of an upset, just plays solidly throughout. Over the last couple of years just beats everyone ranked below him at the Slams. Just feel Nadal will just bring it and go through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 In the womens side Barty is just playing so solidly, that even a rejuvenated Madison Keys probably doesn’t have a chance. Swiatek against Collins a bit more even, Swiatek can generate easier power, so you’d expect her to win. Collins can get the ball back in court long enough to extract errors, so should be interesting semi. Barty will be the first Australian champion since Chris O’Neil in 1978. Up until that point only 10 non Australians had won it on the womens side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Danielle Collins has just been brilliant so far, destroying Swiatek’s second serve and hitting even bigger than her. Absolutely under rated her power of both wings, but certainly keeping the ball in play longer and extracting the errors. A set and a double break up, just brilliant tennis. On this form she’ll upset Barty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the fact the statement is wrong in the first place, he's one of the best ever to play the game, and is one of the nicest guys around, respected by his peers on and off the court. He is an absolute fucking legend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 On a similar note to the above couple of posts, I've lost my tenner bet on Berrettini lifting the trophy on Sunday as Nadal beats him 3-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Some lad is Rafa. The way he’s playing got to make him favourite for the final and of course he will be favourite for the French too. Perhaps it will be him that ends up top of the major tree. What a legend.Berrettini is becoming a bit of a nearly man. Regularly in the business end of slams, but never really looks like he’s going to win one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Looks to be a 0830 UK time start tomorrow for Barty vs Collins in the Women's final. To be followed by the all-Aussie match of Kokkinakis/Kyrgios vs Ebden/Purcell in the Men's Doubles final which could be a fun watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The Yank utterly choked that set. Was hoping she’d win to see the collective heads gone from the Aussies tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
