Australian Open 2021

Nadal no spring chicken anymore, commentators talk as if he's still 22

Tsitsipas seems to have the edge physically at the moment

[rik]

agree tsitsipas looks fresher but odds almost 50 50 now

I'm a big fan of hawkeye replacing line judges, saves so much time

I hope its not just a temporary situation because of Covid

[eightbo]

gonna monitor stats of 5th set and see if somethings pot. value at tiebreak

[rik]

nadal cant get the serve back, tsitsipas not the biggest server really

[Euler]

Nadal cocks up at just the wrong moment.

Glorious. Who'd want to do a proper job for a living?

Some come down going from that to an AW class 6 at Wolverhampton

I actually missed out on this, after seeing Nadal take the first two thought it was over and done with and started getting on with other things - by the time I was aware it was to late to do anything worthwhile

Hope everyone got a good result from it

I thought the same he was comfortable, never seen him serve as well as he did in the 3rd set.

I didn't get involved until that tie break, there were some fantastic swings, right up until the last point of the match.
