Yay for Jannik, what an amazing fight to come back after those first two sets! Hopefully only the first of many more slam wins to come.
I don’t know how Meddy is even still standing after these two weeks haha this could have gone either way, let’s face it. The man is a machine.

Jaaaaannnnnikkkkkk

Although tbh would have been happy if either won - Medvedev playing 31 sets over the course of the tournament is insane

 

[Yel]

ooh drama!

who are they booing?

 

[forthelifeofriley]

The Aussie PM and premier of Victoria I think? Not sure why

 

[londongirl2001]

Love how they had 15 days for this tournament, and then the men decided to tie with the record for most five set matches played during a tournament hahaha

Awww, look:

There's plenty of AU tattlers, but not sure if any of them read this thread. Probably just politicians being politicians

 

[londongirl2001]

This is getting on a bit, just give the kid his trophy

 

[Ros79]

I don’t mind Jannik & he’s played a great tournament but I’m gutted for Daniil to lose like that again.

There's so little between the top 4. Any of them could be #1 after the sunshine double

Great for Katie Boulter winning her first WTA500, she’s having a great year atm, now ranked the highest Brit male or female. Basically no points to defend until grass season as well, so real chance of getting in top 20.

Anyone else think she has a slight Australian twang to her voice here

 

[forthelifeofriley]

She has mentioned in interviews she has picked up an Australian twang since being with Alex

Zverev Alcaraz match suspended because of the bee invasion

 

[Yel]

Well hopefully that highlights the rampant bee abuse in CA!

---
How are they going to resume play today? Still bees everywhere. Realistically they need to empty the place and probably spray something nasty.

A bee vacuum is out

 

[londongirl2001]

Well at least Carlos won his match sadly, his next match against Sinner is the semifinal; should have been the final. I think Jannik will win. He’s on a roll.

 

[londongirl2001]

I wanted to check the live score of the Sinner/Alcaraz match but it says it’s been interrupted. I have no way to watch this anywhere, does anyone know what happened? Another bee attack?

Says it's due to rain. They were on court but have gone to the locker room.

I was watching it on tennistream.com until the rain delay - I hope they resume soon or it will be too late for me to stay awake.
I was really looking forward to it too.

The highlight seems to be the awkward flirting with sinner and the ball kid under the umbrella

 

[hannah123]

Murray Berrettini is such an annoying first round draw, I want Andy to win just obviously but want Matteo to get the boost he needs after his injury problems.
