rychard:Op thanks for the tip....no man is an island of knowledge ... Let's analyze your picks kie is good fast on hard court can survive the crushing heat....but mind you times like this you need a good defense to route out points when you play other top players.... samurai can he survived with the likes elite.....the two Russians med and Karan are good lads...I prefer Karen cause his forehand is something to be reckoned with.....as for Alex Anderson and Milos they yet to win a grand slam but they still on the list.....lemme bring the female folks in |

Re: Australia Open 2019 Thread by 21Bandit: 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 |

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. You can add yours |
