He made it all the way through qualifying and into the second round without much effort.

You can watch the highlights (lowlights) of his second round thrashing on YouTube

Deplorable effort. Fitzgerald has called it out and I don’t blame him

Lazy sh*thead

No thanks. I don't need to see it a second time.

Kokk throws the kitchen sink at the world number 5. Takes him to 5 sets.

Walks away with the same paycheck as Bernie

Staggering

It’s a funny game

[AndyP]

Both ranked about the same losing to guys ranked about the same. Not that staggering at all really. In fact, one got in the hard way via qualifying, and the other was gifted a wildcard.

Go Stosur!

[Ferrins]

When’s Stosur play, can’t wait to make easy money...

To be fair Stosur showed that she's got game.

I was thinking about players not deserving to play the Australian Open, and Destanee Aiava immediately came to mind. I had a look back through her record, and she has never qualified for a Grand Slam, but has now been gifted 4 wildcards into the Australian Open for a 0-4 record. She has total prizemoney of $414k in her career, but over $220k of that has been "gifted" by Tennis Australia through wildcards to the Aus Open, or the lead-in tournaments.

Cause she’s an Aussie.....

I've long been aware of the Tennis Australia model of funding their players through wildcards, but Aiava seems to be an example where the money is wasted, and she probably wouldn't have a career without this funding. She is still only 20, so there is still time for her to show something, but I don't she is deserving of wildcards anymore.

Level of effort was more my point. Bernie qualified, sure but only coz he had to being that he traveled all the way to Doha

She got a game is what I meant.

Exciting women’s tennis with Potapova trying to serve out the set against Williams.
Serves 5 doubles to lose game😀😀😀😀😀

Not sure about Serena’s mumble suit. Last one to hit the tour was an all white number that was worn in the 1st round of Wimbledon yonks ago. It was banned by the All England Club immediately.

Sounds like my budding junior career in Pennant

11.59pm 2 all in the fifth set🤪

Will be more than one fan flicking the bird.

Feret
in all seriousness what you think of zverev chances?

[Ferrins]

He will not get laid if he keeps wearing that muscle shirt.

[Ferrins]

A bet on one of the Ruskies to win this may be a fruitful payday.

[Ferrins]

Theim is going to choke big time.

[Ferrins]

Rublev would be my dark horse pick.

who the **** is he!

[Ferrins]

What a gag start for Theim.😀

[Ferrins]

Straight away you can see that Nick is playing to bait Theim to play forward more and try to hit him off the court. A bit like Rocky and Apollo Creed.
