Re: [TENNIS] The Official 2014 Australian Open Thread

now Sharapova is my fave

my dad has the biggest celeb crush on her and always texts me from work asking how her matches are going haha but srsly, she is a much stronger contender now that Serena is out
Well, tell your dad that his celeb crush just got knocked out today :(

Serena out in the 4th.

Maria out in the 4th.

Looking good for Vika. Azarenka can definitely do 3 AOs in a row if she's playing well like she usually does.

Only Li Na and Ivanovic have the firepower to trouble Vika, if it's anyone else left in the draw in the final.... Vika is most likely going to win.

Wow. That was some superb tennis by Federer tonight. He's looking on form. Serving well with the right aggression. Few errors/shanks and playing the right shots.

I think he has a great chance to make the semis.

Re: [TENNIS] The Official 2014 Australian Open Thread

Some delicious quarter final match-ups on the men's side.

Djokovic VS Wawrinka


Epic rematch, expecting a 4 setter or 5 setter from Stan and Novak.

Ferrer VS Berdych


Ferrer leads in the H2H against Berdych iirc but I really want Berdych to get through to the semis - he can hurt Novak better.

Nadal VS Grigor ''Baby Fed'' Dimitrov


It's grim for Dimitrov... An awesome Nishikori could not even take a set off a subpar Nadal... Dimitrov needs to be on god-mode or it's Nadal to the semis for sure.

Murray VS Federer


Another epic rematch, hoping Roger can get through! Murray hasn't been at his best so hoping Roger can take advantage of it.

So the match-ups were as predicted (men's tennis is so predictable :haha:) except Dimitrov replaced Delpo as Nadal's QF opponent.

Next two days should be great.

Wawrinka was so daaaaamn good versing Djokovic, everybody thought Wawrinka had a good chance winning against Djokovic last Aus Open,, I was like.. woah who's this guy.. his shots were so tight, incredible. Djokovic barely defeated Wawrinka so in the end of such an epic match, Djokovic ripped his shirt and growled like a beast if anyone remembers from last time.

Berdych dominated Ferrer with a breakstick 6-1 in the first set.

Hoping he goes through~~ (we all know Berdych will give Djokovic more problems :haha: sorry David but please, let Tomas go through)

go Bouchard, probably one of the few Canadians to excel in sport outside ice hockey

Had some interest in her until she said she was a JB fan
Genie is still stunning either way, whether it be her or her tennis :shy:


She's also a Federer fangirl :) (she'd rather spend dinner with Roger than Rafa according to the interview :haha:)

Not sure who'll benefit from this stop in momentum.

Hopefully this match wont end due to cramping - not as high quality as last year but a classic it still is
