Australian Open Day 10-14 - Djokurray! And others! :P
First topic message reminder :
Well some of you hardcore mob will no doubt be up watching the first round matches and even up first thing if your boarding the Fed Express. I will be utilising the power of Sky+!
So we have Federer, Nadal, Murray, Berdych, Gulbis and Dimitov all in action on the men's side.
On the ladies we have Halep, Sharapova, Bouchard, Ivanovic, Kerber and young gun Bencic.
Should be an action packed day.

Murray wins 6-3 6-4 7-6. A comfortable win but will need to up his levels from here. I hope we see more of Bhambri - liked his game.

Nadal wins the first set 6-3. That should be a confidence booster.

Thanks but no need. We actually get free streaming on ESPN here in the States. It is just that their stream was for some reason broken earlier in the set, but it seems to be back on now.It Must Be Love wrote:If you really want, I can inbox you a link.summerblues wrote:Andy does it; time to check if my Laver feed is back on.

Amri must be horrified. Rafa looks fit and Youzny not the goat level player amri made him out to be! Nadal MIGHT win this 1st round match

An appendix is proving to be a rather overrated part of the human anatomy.

Good play from Rafa.
Great matches going on with Tomic, Rosol fighting too 2:1 down on sets.
Baghdatis wins in 5 sets.

I didn't see Rafa's match. Can IMBL confirm that Rafa played in a wheelchair as he is no longer capable of able-bodied tennis?

I agree. Very surprised Bencic lost in straights.
Coric, just wow. A set up and totally unravelled.

Easy break for Bouchard, as Friedsam goes long, and to serve for the match.

Gulbis at 4:1 in third set, while Bouchard wins. Expect more of Friedsam in the future, methinks.

Kokkinakis has DF on SP. Gulbis now 2:1 sets. Another youngster overawed by the occasion, perhaps.

Enough pressure from the Old Man, and Lu is broken, with two nice drops shots.

Federer through in straight sets in just under two hours. Gulbis back in control (but for how long) and Juan Monaco in a spot of bother against Bolelli.

Bolelli beats Monaco with a fourth set bread-stick. He has played pretty well after his injury-layoff was nominated for comeback-player.

Mats and Chris kept analysing Nadal's press conferences, just incredible to hear.

I can confirm that Nadal had made a stop off in Japan, and was playing tennis is a mechanised Gundam.
Great forehand, dodgy backhand, but a lot of power. The style however, was robotic, so clearly it had no skill or talent in tennis and was just using its reactor core to hit the ball properly.

Very strange Kokkinakis v Gulbis see-saw. Gulbis had MPs in fourth set. ![Sad](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_sad.gif)
Gutsy for Kokkinakis.
One more Young Aussie on the horizon. ![Australian Open Day 10-14 - Djokurray! And others! :P - Page 2 3845856932](/users/3014/26/22/82/smiles/3845856932.gif)

5 MPs saved all told, continues the trend we've seen recently. Fantastic win for the youngster
Krygios also through in five, and Duckworth put up a good fight too. Good first day for Oz!

Youzhny was a huge let down, he completely panicked after the 1st set and didn't turnup for the most part of the match, it was a decent outing for Rafa.
Didn't see Fed-Lu match it was too late for me.
Murray- Bhambri match was interesting, Yuki showed a lot of talent and guts but was very inconsistent through out the match, should have easily nicked the 3rd set, Murray looked decent on his first outing.

It didn't have anything to do with the fact that Rafa didn't let him did it by any chance ???? Look at Rafa's stats in that match .. he didn't do much wrong .. conceding only 8 points on his serve.. I would suggest that Youzhny was somewhat overwhelmed rather than panicked.

Fed has come out at the Net, every 4,5 points today, which is a record for a HC match of his. Eurosport quote.

Quality shot
backhand around the net is usually Murray's shot!
And Day 2 hath commenced. I've just noticed Watson was lucky in not drawing a seed, but talk about a nightmarish unseeded opponent.
Lopez looking iffy against Kudla right now, and Kei has opened his campaign.

I reckon Novak will be happy enough though. Nobody caring about his half means that the top players are all in the other half!

Pouille's shorts are pretty nice. Probably my obligatory acquisition of tennis equipment for the season in the hope of it kickstarting a willingness to play tennis again

Pity that as Monfils gets on my male Bristols a lot the time with his shenanigans. Monfils wins - don't get me wrong he is a cracking player but he does things that really annoy me.
