Tennis Talk 2021: Vol 3 (Australian Open)

Loss    1–3    Mar 2018    Indian Wells Open, United States    Premier M    Hard    Japan Naomi Osaka    3–6, 2–6
the start of Naomi Osaka.

Marie B could still come back and win 6 games in a row for the title

has done better lately. played great against Vika on the clay last fall and got hurt.

unlucky her top year wasn't 2019, then she could have stayed top 10 forever.

Aryna doing some stupid stuff like missing a simple smash in a doubles matches

1 game down for Marie B, 5 to go

aw what a nice hug

only losing to good players after US Open, so seems to be out of her slump.

Bobo about to overtake Petko as best hugger on WTA tour.

sitting on the same bench now having a postmatch chat. Bobo knows how to do a lovefest that doesn't make me wanna puke.

Barty lovefest is just way too cringy

have you abandoned Taylor btw?

she abandoned me by rarely making it to R2 which gives me very few opportunities to watch her.

her serve has got really bad

oh no Taylor slammed her racquet

HEYYYYY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Barbora laughing with Sabalenka and Taylor crying

Barbora doing her best to do a great speech

I wonder if Taylor will say anything

she didn't

Sabalenka is so whacky

wacky*

Aryna Sabalenka decided to play less doubles after winning Abu Dhabi, stuck by Mertens when that decision was made too late for her to find a new  #AusOpen partner.

Don't know how this second Slam changes things, but certainly a stellar cap to their two years as a team.

wacky but loyal.

Medvedev booed as he walks on court.

Daria Gavrilova @Daria_gav
Dasha 2!!!! Let’s go!

haha, OMG, Daria Gavrilova doing my gimmick.

I wonder if she follows you on twitter?

.

Daniil swagging

how many games for Novak on Sunday?

Daniil tucking Stef in

Novak 2, Daniil 1.99

Simon Reed loves Tsitsipas. he starts shouting whenever he wins a point

ohhhhhhhh

STEFANOS!

lol it's edy

Daniil

game, set and match Mr. Daniil Medvedev.

Wwll played Russia you earned the right to be mo0nstered by the mo0nstered No00le in the sho0wpiece

When you started to crumble in set 3 the Mo0nster will pick up on that and use it to go all David Banner on you...

Dont worry Wise when the mo9nster is po0lishing the silverware I won't mention u thought Fritz waa gonna bt him

If Jennifer Brady wins tomorrow she doesn’t make top 10. She also has US Open semi final points in her pocket.

Bianca out of Doha and Adelaide.

Don't forget Osaka could soon be Australian and US Open Champion and still be 1300 ranking points behind Barty.

Joke. #AusOpen

Naomi is a 4 time Grand Slam Champion!!!!

first player to achieve that since Maria Sharapova in 2012.

Jonathan Newman
@Tennis_Jon 2m
Spare a thought for Muguruza who held two match points against Osaka before Naomi unlocked some kind of video game mode to win that match.

TF hating on Bianca.

Maybe another Sloane Stephens who is only interested in playing in Western, English speaking countries.

Tumaini Carayol @tumcarayol
Naomi Osaka mid-speech: "Do you like to be called Jenny or Jennifer?"
Jennifer Brady: "Jenny"
Naomi Osaka: "Firstly, I want to congratulate Jennifer..."

classic Naomi

crazy that she has double the Grand Slams as Petra Kvitova

Well done Naomi, another dominant display. Now can she bag another 20 to equal the GOAT ?

talking of bags, is there another big sale on tomorrow ? 

Djock is a monster price at 1.9?

you missed Evens.

not to worry, you'll get bigger in-play, even without the bags.

since when does Aussie Open finals have opening ceremonies?

freeeeeeee money

looks like smn's GOATing from the get-go

classic Novak smash

and to muggery in one fell swoop..be getting 'injured' again shortly

Milos Raonic @milosraonic
I’m more sad about GEMSlife than Kimye

market doesn't like Djoker

Next gen go home, you're drunk.

once bitten

twice bagged

Serb boy done good..9 Aussie Opens..unbelievable Jeff!

What a Mo00nster and what a Mo0nster price...

A lot of people got that so wrong! A pick um versus the mo0nster what was the market thinking

The crowning of the King of Melbourne Pk !

Novak fans booing the presenter saying vaccination is underway.

That's it Danni boy you know who is the boss but nice to see you admit it. Seem's a nice lad tho does Danni not like some on the tour

Big year for the Goat coming up this year. Let's see a clean sweep of the majors Serbia...

Djock is the true greatest in my opinion

If not for 2 spells in his career where he fell off a cliff (Motivation and injuries) he's have 21+ easily by now, 18 is still good going to be fair

but for that pesky Murray as well

He did steal 2 of his majors to be fair, so yeah Murray was a bit pesky in that regard
