Black Dagger 21-01-2014 03:11 AM

The journey has to end here I'm afraid, I won't allow anything but Li finally accomplishing her dream.

Pretty gutted with that. Ana just showing she'll always be an average Top 15 player </3

Drew. 21-01-2014 05:54 AM

It was a truly magical performance

Marc 21-01-2014 05:55 AM

Ferrer is rattled

Drew. 21-01-2014 05:56 AM

Did you see his push?

Drew. 21-01-2014 05:59 AM

Ferrer is a nutter

Novo 21-01-2014 06:15 AM

Got 11/4 on Skybet, predictable result thank you very much Genie. this is turning out to be the tournament for breakout stars, Newcomer of the year and Most improved of the year still in there

Novo 21-01-2014 06:17 AM

i watched the first 20 minutes then fall asleep, did Ana make loads of unforced Errors or was Genie just outplaying here?

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:19 AM

Both broke each other quite a lot but neither were being able to hold.. Ana did make a lot of errors and her net play wasnt great. She had the trainer come on twice too and was gone in the 3rd set, Genie had her running around everywhere

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:20 AM

Genies backhand though >>>

Novo 21-01-2014 06:22 AM

Jesus this is actually a GOAT stat.. the last player to reach the Aussie Open semi final on their debut was Monica Seles and she went onto win it

Novo 21-01-2014 06:23 AM

no pressure Genie

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:24 AM

It's not impossible, but even thinking about winning will be getting too carried away

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:25 AM

"Are there any guys you like Genie".. "Oh errrr, Justin Bieber" the whole crowd start booing

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:26 AM

AO took advantage of that and used it as a headline.. They ask some **** questions on the courts after the matches

Novo 21-01-2014 06:28 AM

anything is possible in tennis, who thought 16 year old Monica Seles would win a gs that soon and who thought 17 year old Hingis would nearly win 4/4 , you've got to breakout sometime.

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:32 AM

Of course, a step at a time though.

Novo 21-01-2014 06:35 AM

Li Na does have bad spells as well, but when she is good she is amazing, depends which one shows up

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:37 AM

She's been patchy at times so far but last night she was great, She'll be determined to win it so Im not expecting a dip in form from today

Novo 21-01-2014 06:43 AM

crazy stat how for the first time in 20 years there was no Russian or American players in the QF of a Grand Slam

Marc 21-01-2014 06:44 AM

Li Na has been defying all my expectations this year; I keep expecting her to come up short against her last three opponents but she seems to be getting better with each match. I think the game needs her to win another slam. Both Genie and Li would be good finalists. Just hoping there is a bottom half shock

Drew. 21-01-2014 06:45 AM

Genie walked out onto the courts today looking so nervous and from the first serve she was so calm and strong, really surprised how good mentally she is

Novo 21-01-2014 07:06 AM

Wimbledon run probably gave her a lot of confidence

the goat friendship in WTA history

Marc 21-01-2014 07:18 AM

Where she'll probably get Serena. I'm interested to see who will stand out in the clay season; whether the Italians and Spanish will dominate and whether Errani will drop down the rankings

Looks like some Ibiza weekend

Novo 21-01-2014 08:05 AM

Vika will be 5/5 in making the last 5 grand slam hard court finals if she makes the final and she has never failed to not win a set in the 4 she has been in. another goat stat for you there

Novo 21-01-2014 08:16 AM

and the last person who beat Vika in a hard court GS that wasn't serena was Li Na 3 years ago (6 tournaments since then)

Novo 21-01-2014 08:17 AM

just well and truly jinxed it now

Black Dagger 21-01-2014 09:53 AM

Yeah, Li is unpredictable, I ****ing worry about every match, I worried about Pennetta ffs and she destroyed her.

Li hates teenagers really, look at Laura at the US Open, but if the Li of the last two rounds turns up, soz Bouchard, you're ****ed, Li knows this is probably her last chance of a slam and especially the one she wants so badly </3.

Black Dagger 21-01-2014 09:54 AM

Oh and come on Stan, I'm relying on you and Grigor to stop the inevitable Nadal/Djok final round 4885

Black Dagger 21-01-2014 11:29 AM

Take a ****ing bow, Stan.

Grigor doesn't mind taking out Nadal, does he?

Shaun 21-01-2014 11:39 AM

Wow. Murray actually has a chance :/

seanraff07 21-01-2014 01:12 PM

Go on Liam!

Stan :worship:

Drew. 21-01-2014 03:47 PM

Stan replied to me yesterday with this too

@AustralianOpen: @DeeAFC @stanwawrinka: "It's tough, especially the top 4. If you don't play your best you wont have a chance. Novak perhaps, the 5 sets"

I am the genius behind his victory

Novo 21-01-2014 04:46 PM

Berdych to destroy him next round

Novo 21-01-2014 05:00 PM

" Azarenka has won 58 out of 61 grand slam matches as the favourite since 2011 including 43 in a row outside the french open "

fall back competition

Marc 21-01-2014 06:07 PM

Imagine Vika losing now. Blowing all these stats out of the water
