Australian Open 2015

Murray in 4 with 19 BP, once again I was right. Djarvik, let it go, you cannot compete against such a talent

[Lucian86]

It wasn't easy and not in straights.

Dimitrov is a well established Top 15 player, arguably Top 10 but I can't see him yet winning a GS. Anyway, he's improving every year and he's got the skillset to do it. I remember him 5 years ago, a very gifted but clumsy player.
He needs now a better mindset and confidence. I think he could have done better tonight even though Murray seemed to be overall in a better condition.

Do you know the difference between 3 and 4? ...or is that something that is not being taught in France?

Indeed.

Dimitrov is playing TOO FAR BEHIND and being way too defensive for his own good. Until the moment he steps it up, literally - I don't think he will be even reaching SF or QF. There will always be a player who knocks him out just before.


About Kyrgious, straight sets Murray. I mean coming back against Seppi is nice.....but time to go home now.

[Lucian86]

Last year yeah, especially on clay but I see some improvements here and today he wasn't far at all.

Andy Murphy blows goats

[Corbon]

QF's predictions seem pretty obvious.

Djokovic-Raonic
Wawrinka- Nishikori
Berdych-Nadal
Murray-Kyrgios

Against such an excellent returner, Raonic would need to up his own return game by several classes, however he may get an opening in tie breaks.

Stan-Nish is the hardest to predict for me but I will go with the defending champion. It won't be a 3 setter though

Berdych has the game but lacks the mental strength to prevail over Rafa. At least his waifu is hot(ter)

Agreeing with djarvik here. Kyrg had his fun but against an in-form Murray it's time to say good bye.

[C4iLL]

No : Nishikori will beat Wawrinka and win AO

[Corbon]

Rafa has still not arrived after 2 sets.

[Kono]

Rafa has still not arrived after 2 sets.

And he lost, I already thought in the TB that Berdych is going to choke but he had a great second serve on that last point.Kudos for him

[Murderface84]

You just know Berdych wanted to bust out a 'Shhhh' on Nadal.

[Corbon]

Heh.

Nearly flawless performance by the Czech, his serve never let him down the whole match and strong returns to boot. Nadal basically didn't show up until set 3 which would have normally been the 1st set but this time his recovery was too late.

Expected result by Murray and that semifinal is 50-50 for me.

[R0CK GAMER]

That was the worst Rafa has ever played! He was as good as a lamb at the slaughter house.

[Lucian86]

Says every Rafa fan after every defeat.

I've seen way worse matches from him. In the 2nd round against that american guy he was atrocious. How about his defeat against Berrer in Doha ? How can you lose against Berrer ?

Last year on clay had some bad matches...I can find out many more

Not all of us say that, Only the best ones! xD

Ah good! Berrer he has some good talent. I always love Lefty's Vs Lefty's.

Yes please find more! He lost on clay against Ferrer and Almagro last year, I remember.

Hey Lucian86, What's your Semi Finals prediction's?
I bet Wawrinka Vs Murray in the Finals!

Anyone else agree\disagree and why?
