Australian Open 2018

[KJ]

Stays light late there, heat won't be much better for several hours

 

[Big daddy naught]

HALEP IS DEF not 100%.. surprising just heard BG say joker had option of night match but chose to play monfils during day.... figures he can wear em down but joker has had some issues in heat

Yeah Noles, that ankle twist looked bad the other night, not to mention whatever else was wrong w her hamstring or leg as well. If she plays the way she did vs that 17 year old it’ll go over.

Monfils is known to wilt in the heat too. Dude always cramps but I think we see a long match here

 

[Big daddy naught]

Novak’s serve is a mess

 

[KJ]

What an odd set that was

 

[Big daddy naught]

Very odd. Was a must win set for Monfils. Had he blown that he might have gone on a walk about and lost the next two sets in 35 min lol

 

[KJ]

Yeah lol

Never have understood how these players roll in to Aussie without doing everything they can the previous month to get a base tan and skin acclimated at least a little. I realize some just burn but can still condition the skin somewhat so it's not just overwhelming

 

[Big daddy naught]

Lol put me in the category that just burns. I can put on spf 90000 and I’ll burn. I used to love playing in the heat tho, just gotta hydrate, get those electrolytes in and then it’s just a battle of will, who is gonna wilt

 

[KJ]

Yeah tennis a bit different obv but learned long ago here the days of drinking and golf in the Summer were over...lotsa water, hit the damn ball and get back to the cart asap and it's not awful even in 115 degrees....the alcohol, not a great idea that time of year

 

[KJ]

Not sure I could make it 18 holes in S Florida in the summer tho, hell I couldn't even sit outside for an hour

 

[Big daddy naught]

I don’t think I could make it 18 holes in any weather. I can’t even watch 18 holes in my house w the AC on let alone play 18 ha

 

[KJ]

Long rally wearing me out

 

[Big daddy naught]

Here we go. Monfils looks done already

 

[Big daddy naught]

Lmfao dude plays better when he can’t move

 

[KJ]

Guy is playing on instinct right now

 

[Big daddy naught]

If he doesn’t win this set I can’t see him finishing the match

 

[KJ]

Wtf is the point of having a roof if you aren't gonna use it here

 

[Big daddy naught]

Fuck water he needs Gatorade

 

[Big daddy naught]

The problem w the roof is it’s unfair to the rest of the players on other courts if you use it on one court but not the others. Unless you’re gonna suspend play on all other courts

 

[KJ]

Lol Monfils gonna challenge that

They laid out the excessive heat rules and need to enforce at this point

 

[Big daddy naught]

Kerber/Pova good match

 

[Big daddy naught]

They laid out the excessive heat rules and need to enforce at this point

Yeah I think it’s only between sets tho

 

[KJ]

Yeah not sure I can bet that one, could see it going a few ways

 

[Big daddy naught]

Safest bet there is over imo

 

[KJ]

Maria got the adv of playing early today at least but Kerber in great form

 

[Big daddy naught]

Yeah Angie been playing well

 

[Big daddy naught]

He’s def not finishing this match if he loses this set

 

[KJ]

Heat stroke's a real MF

 

[Big daddy naught]

1st game of this 3rd set is huge. If Monfils gets broken I think Djokovic rolls assuming Monfils continues

 

[KJ]

Joker laboring a bit as well

 

[Big daddy naught]

He is, but he’s mentally stronger than Monfils

 

[Big daddy naught]

Halep/Bouchard over 18

Barty -170 over Giorgi

Gojo +7 vs Zverev

Let’s goooooo!

 

[Big daddy naught]

Glad no one saw that post before these matches started, Barty only one that looks like it has a chance but who knows lol

 

[Big daddy naught]

Getting these up for tomorrow

Schwartzman +110 over dolgo

Seppi -160 over Ivo. Think those 2 5 setters and the heat lead to Ivo’s demise

Kanepi/Suarez Navarro over 20.5

[Big daddy naught]

good luck

Thx bro

 

[Brewers888]

I am still angry that Bencic didn't show up for her second round match. She should have breezed to the qtrs with that joke of a draw.

 

[KJ]

Got bailed out on those Monfils wagers with the rest of them. That was hard to watch. Just gonna dink and dunk for now tonight.

I’ll be on Osty but that the late match lol

 

[KJ]

Yeah it's middle of the night for me, probly sleep and half hear it at times

PCB over 39, just noticed I didn't put that in there

 

[Big daddy naught]

No chance I’ll stay up and watch tonight either. Gotta see how the early plays go first. Really like Seppi tonight. Ivo playing 2 5 setters and the heat. I think he wilts tonight.

 

[KJ]

good start, adding Schwartzman +1.5 -108

Should see some long points

Like him outright tonight.

Also like over in cilic/Harrison as well as Harrison +6.5 or +7 but waiting on Diego and my seppi plays

 

[KJ]

Nice Rublev survived that set. Needed him to get one for the over and he looked like toast not long ago

 

[Big daddy naught]

He’s battling for sure.

Seppi all over Ivo early. Dudes gonna gas in this heat.

 

[KJ]

I need it to go at least 4 sets with a couple TBs thrown in

 

[Big daddy naught]

I don’t see it going 5, 4 max, but wouldn’t be shocked for a straight set win. Ivo serving to start 2nd is big for you. He has to keep holding serve bc I don’t see him having many chances on seppi’s serve

 

[KJ]

His service should help with the heat a bit, short points both ways

 

[KJ]

Not like he's gonna put much effort into return game
