Player's to watch for the men title. Nadal Federer djokovic.. This big tops the list of winners for the year title... But some players to watch due to their outstanding performance over time and current form.. 1. NOVAK DJOKOVIC Six-time winner (2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016. After his resurgence in 2018 NOVAK is the bookie fav and also mine for this year tittle...cliching Wimbledon and us open last year...senior brah will be aiming to add the 7th to his cabinet. 2. Coric borna...the DARK HORSE The 2013 US Open boys’ champion produced a string of noticeable results last year which included victory over Roger Federer in the pre-Wimbledon Halle final and a key round-robin win which helped Croatia capture the final Davis Cup title of the old system. He don't hit ace like doctor...but his a naturally gifted player...crash out in the fourth round last year to my man del Porto Juan Martin. 3....The Veteran....no need to write his name Na. Six-time winner (2004, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2017, 2018) Titles: 99, 20 slams. Roger will be looking for his 100 ATP tittle and his 21 grand slam tittle....so better shit for grand pa... cause he has more juice than y cee 4. The young gun....ALEX DE MINAUR. Australia’s next big thing. In contrast to compatriots Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic, who have struggled to live up to the hype, De Minaur has an easy-going temperament. He prides himself on his battling qualities of chasing down every point and clawing his way back from seemingly unwinnable positions. The teenager started last year ranked No 208 and closed it at No 31...this small ball can get under your skin so easily and before you go see you start hitting the ball to the sky...ask Nick kyrgios.. 5. Hmmmmm am picking my man Nadal...yes Nadal not his best surface but his energy is something to be reckoned with...his left hand backhand is second to none....let's see if my man can breeze past some seasoned hard court players 4 Likes |

Nice one Still rooting for Nadal, though not great when it comes to hard court, but after much rest not taking part at the season ending tournament, I think he has all the reserved energy for this Glam Slam Vamos Nadal 2 Likes |

Re: Australia Open 2019 Thread by Nobody: 6:03pm On Jan 15, 2019 |
How can you call names without mentioning ; Nishikori, Kachanov, Verdasco, Zverez, Medvedev, Anderson, Raonic, For rising star Opelka is the man for me , forget Alex D. Alex won't last 3 rounds against Opelka. Simon Halep and Venus may not survive the second round. Rising star female for me is : Andrescu Bianca and Dayana 1 Like |
