2014 Australian Open Campaign

Sharapova is at deaths door in this game - down 1-5 and facing a loss - advantage against her!

 

[Bulldog Force]

..and she's out, pretty much handing the title to Azasheika! Just a question now of where everyone else finishes and how much points and prize money they accumulate!

 

[LatK7]

Still holding on to hope of Queen Ivanovic winning against all odds.

Just imagine if Stan gets up...treble of upsets?

Don't underestimate him - you never know how far he can go!

 

[Bulldog Force]

Stephens is fighting back from a set and break against Azasheika but I don't think she can do it.

Vika wins in 2.

Bryan brothers lost in the doubles today in the 3rd round. First time they haven't made the quarter finals here since 2003. Since then they had won it 6 times, runner up 3 times and quarter finals once.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Yeah those guys are 35. Probably getting on and their quick reflexes which have done it for them in the past won't be as fast!

 

[Bulldog Force]

Jelena Jankovic gone. After fighting her way back into the match, the wheels came off completely in the 3rd set...

 

[Bulldog Force]

That Japanese bloke is doing alright against Rafa (so far, at least). Might come down to durability.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Rafa had 3 break points and lost them all.

 

[Apey]

Nadal off his game today. Broken twice. Nishikori with the break at 3 - 2 in the 2nd set.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Rafa doing ok since coming back from that injury. These injuries have proved to be blessings this summer!

 

[Apey]

This time violation stuff really is nonsense. Players averaging 22 - 26s but only being pulled up on what I assume to be 30s+. Police it every time or don't do it at all. Or change it to 30s instead of 20s.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Does the violation occur only when they spend time when they use the towel or does it still occur even if they haven't physically swung on the serve?

 

[ek999]

Need to have started the service motion I believe. What actually happened? Did he lose the point or was it just a warning? I missed it because I was getting dinner and it was all they were talking about

Federer is absolutely killing it tonight

 

[LatK7]

Masterclass from the great one.

 

[Apey]

Fed Express was in fine form.

I'm hoping for a Nadal v Fed Semi.

Wrong mate. Was 30 seconds. Has been changed to the ATP/WTA rule of 20 seconds which it is for every event during the year. Was only Slams that were longer in the past

 

[lockyno1]

Hope Nadal routines Federer in the semi!

Tsonga is an absolute fruit, he really has zero idea how to structure points, just a better version of Berdych, servebot with a few volleys in there.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Well today we have the 2 glamor gals of the tour facing off. If only this was the final...
