Interesting first round matches. Not that bad in I thought it would be worse with all the unseeded players.....I have a feeling Berdych will beat Edmund in the first round and for some reason I think he can take out Nadal if both get that far setting up a QF with Kevin Anderson....Anderson has an easy draw.....but would love to see him play Berdych who he could never beat and always lost in the 4th round pre injury.....

 

Dominic #Thiem's projected path at the #AusOpen 2019:
R1: 🇫🇷 Benoit #Paire
R2: 🇩🇪 Mischa #Zverev
R3: 🇫🇷 Lucas #Pouille
R4: 🇭🇷 Borna #Coric
QF: 🇩🇪 Alexander #Zverev
SF: 🇷🇸 Novak #Djokovic
F: 🇪🇸 Rafael #Nadal

 

 

I like Thiem's draw and who better to have in his Quarter but flakey Zverev.....He could make the semis.......

 

Paire was tanking this week during his match...he will dink and drop shot against Thiem.....It depends which Paire shows up.....but very winnable match for Thiem

 

Second round I think he will face the WC Aussie...I don't think Mischa will win his first round but if he does Thiem should win it

 

Third round...Pouille ...if he gets there...hasn't played great in a long time....

 

4th round against Borna would be tough but winnable ....not sure how Borna is since he hasn't played at all.....

@Costello And your man Kei could face Ivo in the second round.

 

Opelka and Isner first round...lawd talk about boring booming services 24/7

 

Milos vs Nick first round...LOLOL

 

Andy vs RBA....first round.....

He’d be great at that. I heard he did well covering Wimbledon for the BBC last summer.

 

Someone on Twitter said that the Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray fanbases are all getting along for the first time, but it took one of them retiring to do it.

From our daily paper.

Andy Murray confirms he will retire from tennis at Wimbledon

Andy Murray concedes the Australian Open could be his last tournament after outlining plans to retire.

The former world No 1 fought back tears as he revealed he has decided to quit the sport because of chronic hip soreness.

Struggling with the pain on a daily basis, Murray said that while he could well call time at the conclusion of his Melbourne campaign, he hopes to make it to his home grand slam at Wimbledon and end his career in front of a home crowd.

The Scot, 31, broke down emotionally when asked about his fitness after barely surviving a practice session with Novak Djokovic yesterday.

“Not great,” he said before excusing himself and leaving the interview room.

When he returned, the dual Wimbledon champion and US Open winner said: “So I’m not feeling great.

“Been struggling for a long time, I’ve been in a lot of pain for probably about 20 months.

“I’ve pretty much done everything I could get my hip feeling better.

 

“I’m in a better place than I was six months ago but I’m still in a lot of pain.

“It’s been tough.”

Murray agreed the Australian Open, where has lost five finals (2009-10, ’13, 15-16), could be the last of his astonishing career.

The baseliner said he could still “play to a level, but not a level I’m happy about.”

Murray told his team during the off-season of his plans to bow out at Wimbledon.

He said he could undergo further surgery this year but that would be to help him post-career.

Murray is due to face Roberto Bautista-Agut in the first round at Melbourne Park.

      Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well.

      TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.

      You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

      "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva.

      But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.

      Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
