2014 Australian Open Campaign

He moved pretty well tonight. ;-)

Yes against a bloke with a bad back...well done...still somehow lost a set!

 

[lockyno1]

For the recrd, happy for Stan I am. Just wish it was in better circumstances!

Tomic I hope you were watching.....don't quit and be a softcock next time! Fight it out!

 

[Bulldog Force]

The score meant nothing... did you watch the entire game? There were long rallys and plenty of high-quality tennis. The score doesn't reflect how close the game was! In a game of tennis, the final score can be 6-0 6-0 6-0 and it can still be a high-quality game. It's a game of luck really.

It was close for the first set, I'll give you that. It wasn't afterwards, was a routine 3-0 win to Rafa. It is not a game of luck- we are not talking about the WTA!

As I said Locky, game of luck!

Well done Stan on his first Grand Slam, you can only play what's in front of you.

To be fair, he was blasting Rafa off the court long before the injury setback. He was clearly thrown off by what was happening after that.

As I said Locky, game of luck!

Pray for an injury I guess. That is the only way your love interest Cibulkova had a chance lol! Nadal will win plenty of more Slams, Stan will be lucky to add to this one. Jeez he got lucky!

Mate, give credit where it's due. Stan was completely out-playing Nadal even before the injury hit.

As for the women, I did say that I thought Li Na would win... just that I was a fan of Dominika!

It's been a great tournament all-round (except for the host nation), hopefully we're in for another great tournament in 2015.

Top 8 has been given a bit of a shake up. When the rankings are released next week, it should look like this...

1. Rafael Nadal (ESP)
2. Novak Djokovic (SRB)
3. Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI)
4. David Ferrer (ESP)
5. Andy Murray (GBR)
6. Juan Martín del Potro
7. Roger Federer (SUI)
8. Tomáš Berdych (CZE)

Andy Murray drops out of the top 4 for the first time since he entered it!

I'm talking about the next release, not current rankings!

 

[ek999]

Del Potro will be 4th and Berdych will be above Federer

You said it will be the first time Andy Murray drops out of the top 4. He's already out of it.

I'm confused, so they do another release of rankings in a weeks time?
Even though this mornings rankings are covering the Aus summer correct?

 

[ek999]

They haven't been updated to reflect this years Aus Open results yet. That will happen sometime tonight our time

 

[Bulldog Force]

According to this, he's incorrectly still #4!

They are not up to date. Add 2000 points to Stan's total!

 

[Apey]

They are up to date for after the Aus Open on mine.

Sure you went to the right link?

 

[LatK7]

Congrats to Stan. Wonderful display, was absolutely killing it in the first and second sets. Great to see him collect himself and win his first major.

Up to date here.

 

[Apey]

Yeah, there too.

Nadal would have cracked 15,000 ranking points if he had won.

I was surprised Del Potro went up and Federer went down.

Yep, went to the link you posted. At the time of my post it wasn't up-to-date, it is now though. Wikipedia isn't updated yet.
