Habeg semi final Wii be blast

Collins Danielle vs Petra kvitova

Petra yet to drop a set in this year Australia open prior to her meeting Danielle in fact she has drop just one set in her last 10 games and that was against Ashleigh barty
In Sydney final but she won straight two set against her this time around in the quarter final...

H2h

Collins and petra have met just once which happen to be in Brisbane this year with Petra coming out with a 2-1 Victory, it was a close game tho.


Petra kvitova has won her last 10 games in a row... fire fire.

Collins Danielle is having her time of her life...this her first ever grand slams semi final with her pulling out some amazing moves to breeze past three top players to the semis...come Thursday we go know who go enta final.

Btw am rooting for Danielle Collins...
SportsRe: Australia Open 2019 Thread by 21Bandit(op): 9:19am On Jan 22, 2019
Collins Danielle is the first woman to qualify for the Australia open semi finals after buzziing out pavlyuchenkova Anastasia 1-2

She is the real deal.

Greek god just announced his arrival
ALEX zverev is still on
Tiafoe Francis is all geared up
Medvedev danill not looking too good matching up novak but hey this Australia open and the game is open
Coric borna this lad is got juice

We just saw keber Angelique and king Federer bow out to players below top 10....good to know that age is really a mutherfucker.......

Let's see if Nadal will bounce on Francis in straight 3 set I doubt with all sincerity

Or the big Canadian server raonic Milos power pass steady Alexandrian zverev

And will halep Simona be the first woman to defeat both Serena sisters in a grand slam finals

Quarter final will be blast and one not to Miss

My favorite to win the WTA 2019 Australia open just crashed out...with USA Collins Danielle whooping 2 seed kerber Angelique 6-0 6-2.
This usa sensational is the real deal habeg....
Well my money was on her win a set but seems she wanted more....
Major upset in the fourth round

I disagree. It was closer than that, tiebreak after tiebreak. Could have gone either way. Milos though yeah, looks fit and ready to go. No sme sme.
He got slow on his movement on the 4th set that's why he focus on his service game
..Stan on a normal day can't face Milos

Milos done did it. Wow! I thought win over Nick K was nothing serious and was in trouble today but somehow got through the line.

Good Tennis here.
Pure class from Milos....the 4 set he was too fit...that's why he was hitting the ball with so much pace which left stan the man gabbing for breath...

David goffin vs copil Marius is getting interesting
SportsRe: Australia Open 2019 Thread by 21Bandit(op):
Last second round games to watch

My top 5 pick

Wawrinka stan vs raonic Milos
Stan the man will have a hard time with big server Milos...Milos has been incredibly some far so good picking o good wins before this grand slam at 1.25 value I see Milos destroying stan the man in a 3+ sets... giving that Milos might relalax in a set to gather his energy...but I don't see stan breaking Milos more than 3 times in this game....and if is tiebreak all money will be on Milos..

Karlovic ivo vs nishikori kei
Well the 1.13 odd for Japanese samurai sounds deceiving cause doctor is someone you don't just break without sweating..am seeing a tough tight here for Ivo despite him loosing 2-0 in h2h the 39 years old might be playing his last AO so I expect him to go for it...my pick +7.5 games for karlovic ivo.

Fogini Fabio vs Mayer Leonardo
The Italian is known for his ability to pull out epic wins against top players too considering that he is also a top player.. against Mayer, he will have to be patient cause Mayer service game is top notch and considering that Mayer has won the last two games in their h2h I see Mayer giving it is all but Fabio can't be trusted...my pick a set for Mayer will do.

Goffin David vs copil Marius
The Belgium star will be looking to battle the ace hitter from Romania.h2h favors goffin but with a odd of 1.25 for goffin I thinks the bookies want to play a fast one on us... my pick copil Marius to win a set or 7.5+ games for him...pretty risky but copil can break his opponent and his good with his service game and a good tiebreaker player.

Halep Simona vs kenin Sofia
Hmmmmm world no 1 my old Time crush halep baby Battles USA progeny Sofia who has a good run of form..well it might be a tough match but halep got too much sauce for Sofia....watching her come back against pliskova in 2017 Roland garrios shows that she possesses one of the greatest mental strength in grand slams for women...my pick halep will pounce on Sofia big time and with a 1.32 odd makes it fun to put my Money on.

SportsRe: Australia Open 2019 Thread by 21Bandit(op): 8:01pm On Jan 16, 2019
Second round was pack with so much sauce and upset

5th seed Kevin Anderson was the Major upset for men after losing 3-1 to USA tiafoe Francis....well Anderson wasn't on his A game tho... elsewhere women 29 seed vekic Donna bow out to 20years old Australia sensational birrell Kimberly 1-2.. vekic lost it in the third set after she was broken twice...the crowd was behind Kimberly all through the game...never underestimate a home player grin grin.
We also see 9th seed bertens kiki crash out to French power house pavy Anastasia in a 3 set thriller and a 3.2 winning odd...it was quite easy for the others Garcia Carolina, Sloane Stephens, barty Ashleigh, kerber Angelique, Maria sharapova, Wozniacki Caroline, sabalenka Aryna all ease through to the third round in straight two sets.

Australia new gun Alex de MINAUR have to fight deep to win Switzerland laaksonen henri 3-2 after dropping 3 and 4 set before he bounce back to win in the 5th set 6-3...the young boy is carrying the Australia flag high after the likes of nick,eden failed to live to their expectations.

Nadal and king Federer ease through with both winning straight 3 set...well for king Federer ot wasn't quite easy after British Evans Daniel prove to be a hard nut to crack, hold king to two tie breaks before giving up in the third set...men evans got some skills too.

Steppi Andreas, berdych Tomas, verdasco Fernando cruise to the third round in straight 3 set winning, mind you these 3 are 32+ old... seems all these old men still get juice ooo...

Click Marin, baby Federer ie dimitrov grigor,fritz Taylor and bautista agut Fernando all through too.... Fritz did impressed me alot after seeing off French old swagger boy monfils Gael in a five set thriller, 4 good tiebreakers out of 5 set...my boy Fritz did gave me good money today while for bautista it was a roller coaster also needing 5 set to dribble pass Australia own boy Millman John...see me forgetting my Argentine Diego Schwartzman who dig deep to win USA kudla Dennis in a 5 set thriller also...Diego was impressive despite him not your normal Harcourt player.....

sorry bro i know him very well actually it's 2-2 exhibition matche is never counted as part of head and for the 2 winning one was when Novak was struggling with injuries 2017 rome the Other is that Bizarre Atp finals finale

Did you watch their Shanghai and Robin round of Atp finals
that's what using an opponent to wipe the floor looks like
or you thinks it's coincidence that none of this so called next gen don't make slam finals? they don't have the physical abilities for best of 5 matches and for the mental capabilities don't get me started
True it's 2-2 just wanted to get ahead of myself if eventually they meet....last year tour finals both players won straight set and I don't remember NOVAK wooping Alex...the lad revenge in the final match thats the way to win a first ATP finals trophy....novak was incredibly last year while Alex got his form of his life 2017...but mind you Alex has a strong mental strength....

Second round Matches to look out for

Men

Nishioka yoshihito vs khachanov Karen

Japanese progeny nsishi we battle with the big lad from Russia.....nishioka is a very fast player like kei good at long ralley his return its is strength but will it be enough to see off big server Karen who has a very good strong hand and also loves to finish his opponent in due time...



Monfils Gael vs Fritz Taylor..

Not much to be said here..gael is still a shadow of himself..if needs to go through to the second round he needs to concentrate on his return cause fritz is a player who loves hitting it on first serve and gets better with his return points.

Berdych Tomas vs hasse Robin

World number 57 vs world number 58....Tomas should I say birdman is on form like on fire form breezing over Marco, verdasco, and Herbert in Doha....tomas has reenergized himself with a odd of 1.14 seems the bookie trust him enough to see off never serious Robin.

SportsRe: Australia Open 2019 Thread by 21Bandit(op): 9:50pm On Jan 15, 2019
Australia open.... Let's look at top 5 women for the title

1. The Favorite
Angelique Kerber

Age: 30

Nationality: German

World ranking: 2

Australian Open best: Winner (2016)

Titles: 12 (3 grand slams)

Although the second favourite with the bookmakers - to Serena Williams - Kerber looks like the woman to beat.

She has positive memories from winning her first major title at the Australian Open three years ago, and is the reigning Wimbledon champion. Superb movement and athleticism make Kerber extremely hard to beat.

2. The QUEEN
Serena Williams

Age: 37

Nationality: American

World ranking: 16

Australian Open best: Winner (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2017)

Titles: 72 (23 grand slams)

On her last visit to Melbourne, Williams won a seventh Australian Open title while pregnant. Now she is bidding to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 grand -slam titles by winning her first major as a mother.

3. The DARK HORSE
Ash Barty

Age: 22

Nationality: Australian

World ranking: 15

Australian Open best: Third round (2017, 2018)

Titles: 3

The home favourite would make for an extremely popular champion, and not just because of her nationality.

Regarded as one of the friendliest players on the tour, Barty also plays extremely watchable tennis - full of spin and angles. Her defeat of world No. 1 Simona Halep in Sydney on Wednesday suggests she is primed to cause an upset or two.

4. FEMALE SAMURAI

Osaka Naomi

Nationality: Japan

World ranking: 4

Australia open best: Fourth round (2018)

Okay as you all know my love for Osaka is beyond compare...all money on my crush to win the title...she is strong, good forehand, can sits deep and heat powerful strokes, very aggressive, mentally strong....last year was lit she redefine the game....and am hoping she starts this year with a australia open title and to add she is one of the hottest young starts around....


5. Sabalenka Aryna

Nationality: Belarus

World ranking: 11

Australia open best: newbie.

WTA titles: 3

Okay the name might sound new but mind you if you a keen fan of tennis saba is a force to be reckoned with...she made me so much money last year so much...she tops my list caused she is a deep fighter she fights for every point and she has that you can't break me mental strength........

Well we still have sharapova.. Canada new love Bianca and last year winner Wozniacki Caroline the wolf.....and muguruza and halep too
