Tennis: Australian Open 2020

[Scouter]

How did Barty get to #1 with that backhaznd.

It's not normally like that, she usually goes for it more, still a pretty good shot.

 

[Scouter]

I think Kenin can beat Halep. She might be able to overpower her or wear her down. Very unlikely she beats Muguruza

Kenin probably won't beat Halep, Halep is like a much better version of Kenin, plus Halep won't choke like Barty just did. Kenin's not winning the title, but she has more of a chance vs. Mug.

 

[Elvis P]

She did it! USA! USA!

How did Barty get to #1 with that backhaznd?

Nerves or guidance had her rely on a slice backhand today. No idea why.

That is not her normal game plan.

 

[Scouter]

Halep-Mug is tough, Halep won her last match playing pretty good quickly, Mug has had 3 tough matches in a row, the matchup might favor Mug, but Halep is a much better player now than when they met 2 and a half years ago.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Won't be able to watch the match tonight, but hoping for the best. He should beat Roger, but you never know. Gotta bring that serve tonight like he did against Milos.

He's had a lot of practice in the past, but will have to tune out the crowd as usual (although Wimbledon/USO are far, far worse). Australian is pretty decent.

For the second time tonight in the first set, somebody wins a set that she shouldn't have.

 

[Scouter]

Halep was maybe barely better, but really nothing between these two, slugging it out like champs.

 

[BMOK33]

I need my reading glasses to watch the TV right now with that sun on half the court. I’m just so tired it’s making it hard to see

 

[kihei]

What a fun match. I hope this goes a third set.

 

[Cloned]

Muguruza is really giving it 110% today. Damn.

 

[JianYang]

Halep's moaning is out of control. It's loud, and it's setting a record for how long it goes.

It's incredibly annoying.

 

[Cloned]

Garbine giving Halep a taste of her own medicine today.

 

[Cloned]

Halep's moaning is out of control. It's loud, and it's setting a record for how long it goes.

It's incredibly annoying.

Eh, it’s not like Muguruza isn’t going full Sharapova out there either. I actually had to turn down the volume so my gf doesn’t think I’m watching porn lol.

 

[Cloned]

These two don’t particularly like each other lol.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Very entertaining match. Been missing this from Muguruza for a long time.

Hopefully she can keep this up for the rest of 2020.

 

[Scouter]

Mug's strength and bigger hitting was the difference, what a match.

 

[kihei]

Deja vu or what? Similar matches and Garbine just wasn't letting go of that one.

 

[JianYang]

Eh, it’s not like Muguruza isn’t going full Sharapova out there either. I actually had to turn down the volume so my gf doesn’t think I’m watching porn lol.

With halep, she is still moaning as muguruza is just about to hit the ball.

I also turned the volume down as I got a phone call, and Im sure it would sound like porn on the other side.

 

[Scouter]

Deja vu or what? Similar matches and Garbine just wasn't letting go of that one.

Similar only in score, quality far different.

 

[Scouter]

Pretty good for being unseeded. Plays the 14th seed in the finals.

Not just any unseeded, best unseeded player in the draw being a 2 time major champ.

 

[Cloned]

With halep, she is still moaning as muguruza is just about to hit the ball.

Both of them were aurally expressive. If anything, Muguruza was louder.

 

[Scouter]

If Fed's going to win he's going to have to play one of his best ever matches.

 

[Scouter]

Congrats to Mug, well played.

 

[Cloned]

If Fed's going to win he's going to have to play one of his best ever matches.

He basically has no chance these days against Novak or Nadal. He has to get lucky and hope for a off day from them. Age is too much of an obstacle to overcome most times.
