Members Faulkner Posted January 5, 2018 Members Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ditto. Just saw from Ben Rothenberg that Thomaz Bellucci was serving a five-month ban (ending this month) after testing positive for a substance, but was seen to be not at fault due to a tainted supplement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 5, 2018 Members Share Posted January 5, 2018 A "silent ban" at that. In other slightly tangential Aussie news 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted January 6, 2018 Members Share Posted January 6, 2018 I actually saw it live. It was a scary moment. Grigor sure is a true gentleman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted January 7, 2018 Members Share Posted January 7, 2018 Nick Kyrgios wins in Brisbane. http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/42595696 Could he be the one to end the wait and do what Pat Cash, Lleyton Hewitt and Pat Rafter couldn't, give the Australian audience a home win for the first time since Mark Edmondson in 1976? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 If he can keep his cool and not get frustrated maybe he can. Someone has put $40,000.00 at $21.00 for him to win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 He's got to be motivated too. So far it looks like only Murray and Kei will be out of this year's Aussie Open. The tennis community is still wondering how Novak can come back and play without any warm up tournaments played. I have a feeling Novak will either lose early or withdraw from the tournament some time next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 8, 2018 Members Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah, congratulations to Nick for winning in Brisbane. TBH, he looked pretty darn happy to win a title in his home country. As for Novak, there's this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted January 11, 2018 Members Share Posted January 11, 2018 The draw is out! Novak, Sasha, Thiem, Delpo and Stan on Roger's half of the draw. Grigor on Nadal's side of the draw. Looming is a 2nd round match between Novak vs Gael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
