    I can't even imagine the tabloids in the morning - this year so far, they cited the weirdest stuff as the reason for his injury - from dark powers to being in a sect.

    An American seeded higher than Novak - I'd forgotten what that was like.

    Me too. I'm scared. Then again, everybody here is scared. We need a pick-me up. Not that Nole's New Year's card wasn't one...

    18 year old local Alex De Minaur has made his way in to the final of the Sydney International!
    Alex defeated Lopez and Verdasco along the way as well as beating Raonic last week in Brisbane!

    He has Lleyton Hewitt in his corner and it shows. He easily has the best on court temperament of the Aussie male contingent and I very much look forward to watching his game continue to develop for many years to come!

    Tough first round match in Melbourne in Bird Man. Should he win that, he'll be the story of the tournament.

    Sock looking pretty terrible as a top-10 seed here.

    watching jana fett collapse against wozniacki after being up 5-1, 40-15 in the third was really rough. shapovalov's collapse against tsonga was almost as bad.

    #sleevelessrafa tho!

    Delpo vs. Berdych tonight in Melbourne - over/under on aces a bazillion

    After that, Nole. After that, Fed.

    Tennis over sleep tonight, it looks like.

    Delpo just got overwhelmed. Shame, was hoping for the upset there.

    The likely Nole/Thiem quarterfinal should really test how "back" he is from injury. He's had a pretty tough draw, and has looked very good at times.

    Damn shame that Tennys is the only remaining American male. Cannot stand that dude.

    Go Madison Keys!

    Nadal has the toughest road to the final on paper at least. I’m looking forward to Kerber - Keys.

    Edit: Can't seem to get it right.

    Sorry to see that Tennys is a white supremacist.

    Also-- had my usual moment of fear when this thread was upped.
