'24 Aus Open Day 10 Order of Play & Discussion
Coco served for the match and lost the game at 15. At 15-40, she hit a floater swinging volley right back down the middle to Kostyuk and Kostyuk passed her easily. I think Coco expected Kostyuk to run to cover the open court, but nope. Second time in as many games that Coco did that and lost the point.

I don't not feel like watching another set of this drek, so Coco better get on it.

I feel like it has gotten better in the 2nd. First point of the TB was 36 shots, with about 15 going to Coco’s FH… it held up well but she finally missed it.Owendonovan wrote:I don't not feel like watching another set of this drek, so Coco better get on it.

Yeah, they got married too young.JTContinental wrote:Kostyuk's husband is in her box wearing a hat that says SHAKE YOUR COCOS with an image of a split coconut on it
Kostyuk has fallen apart in the third. Such a sudden turn of events. She had a game point in the first game and a break point in the next. Has totally crumbled since losing them. Sad to see
Sabalenka is going to eat Coco alive.

AS if Sabalenka can't at any point- especially in a Slam- turn in a terrible performance and/or choke?
Sure- a lot of players coulda/would beat the Coco that showed up in the first two sets today. But, you only have to beat the person in front of you.
NOT saying that Sabalenka can't eat Coco alive- ESPECIALLY if Coco again plays this crap-level. OR vice versa (i.e., it's Sabalenka). Who knows? But, it's not let any of the remaining players in the women's singles draw are unequivocally match-play mental giants. (AND, with the men's- there's only Novak, and, perhaps, Carlos). Entirely possible that there's gonna be a lot of match nuttiness with the remaining matches. With so many of the top players now gone.
IN general- with all that we all have seen through the years with tennis matches- I just don't get how often folks can be so definite about their results opinions- when quite often, we all end up being wrong.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 10 Order of Play & Discussion
Fritz had a shot there. Two set points at 15-40 after saving eight break points earlier in the set. Didn't get much of a look at either one and then dumped the first point of the tiebreak with a shocking swing volley error and the set was over.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 10 Order of Play & Discussion
They are even at a set apiece and Djokovic is 0 of 15 on break points.
Pretty sure I've never seen a match where anyone was 0 of 15 on break points.

Re: '24 Aus Open Day 10 Order of Play & Discussion
Still at least 2 sets to play in Djokovic/Fritz, and the night session on Laver is supposed be starting now. Are they really going to hold the night matches until after 10pm local before they start?
