Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
Krejcikova and Siniakova were just too good once again.
They have gotten into the 'predictable' category... Perhaps not as dominant in their scores as Djokovic, but just as likely to win any tournament they enter as Djokovic is...

Well, who is still awake? I am for now. Whether I make it all the way through the match, who knows. Depends on how quickly Djokovic wins. I meant to take a nap but...didn't happen.

Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
I didn't intend to be awake, but I went to bed early last night, and now I can't get back to sleep. So I'm watching the men's final. Tsitsipas doesn't seem to have any answers early on, which isn't surprising. At this point it's only a surprise when Djokovic misses, and some of the winners have been quite impressive.texasniteowl wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 8:15 am Well, who is still awake? I am for now.

Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
The more dominant Djokovic is, the more likely it is that people will fall asleep, no matter how tired or awake they feel at the beginning of the match.
So far, it's pretty routine, and following the same all too predictable pattern..

Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
It definitely wasn't a good start for Tsitsipas. Hopefully he can do a bit better in the 2nd. 1st set was pretty boring. Surprised I'm still awake.skatingfan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 9:17 am I didn't intend to be awake, but I went to bed early last night, and now I can't get back to sleep.

Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
Djokovic is expecting Ivanisevic to tell him where Tsitsipas is going to serve..pathetic!

Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
Djokovic's level has dipped a bit in the 2nd set, and he's certainly gotten a bit agitated by the crowd.

Re: '23 AO Day 14 OoP & Discussion
Well obviously the 2nd was much better than the 1st set but now with Djokovic up 2-0, it's likely pretty well done.

Tsitsipas got the break to start the 3rd - Djokovic left the court and started with a double fault upon return - but gave back the break in the very next game.
