2020 Australian Open OT -|- January 20th - February 2nd -|- Aces (and double faults) For A Good Cause
- Thread starter EvilChameleon
- Start date
More-so than most years, the Aussie Open time difference is really throwing me off.
I don't remember matches starting as early as they are this year or finishing as late as they have been.

It's normal for the early rounds. Lots of matches to get in. In week 2 the schedule gets a bit more condensed.
I'm starting a new job the day after the Men's Final. I've watched every AO final live that I can remember, even with the 2 am and 3 am start times. Since I need my sleep these days, I'm thinking about getting a trial to Youtube TV to DVR the match and test out the service in general...if I like it, I'll keep it. I'm gonna be disappointed not watching it live, especially if it's Rafa/Novak or Rafa/Roger.
Day 5 Discussion Begins
6 American women are into the 3rd round which isn't surprising, but somehow 5 American men made the 3rd round which is very surprising. Really rooting for Tommy Paul today.

Wang up a set and a break. pre-motherhood Serena would come back from those deficits routinely, but mommarena hasn't been good coming from behind.

Never bet against pre-motherhood Serena. Mom Serena isn't all that clutch.

Yep...Woz took a chance on that close line shot by Jabeur and challenged it,but it was good...throwed her off a bit...Nice career though and she got her Slam win in 2018 finally.

Of course commentators (in America) are saying Serena's opponent played the match of her life. After every Serena loss they say that.

Wang played a solid first set. Serena beat herself the rest of the way after the second set.
Yeah, Serena looked really slow today. Not sure it required Wangs best.
To be fair, players do raise their level. Like, we'll probably never see Halep's level at the Wimbledon final ever again.
She has been slow for a few years now, and her age isn't the main reason for her being slow....
In the bracket I made before the tournament started I had Pliskova over Osaka in the finals.
She's clearly not in the shape she used to be in. I imagine that's a hard thing to manage as your life expands.
She's carrying weight she doesn't need. I get that cutting the baby weight is difficult, but she's not the first mom to come back on tour after having a kid. Clijsters did it, lost the baby weight, and won a slam as a mom. Serena has a ton of heart on the court, but if she wants to win 7 rounds at a major again, she has to drop that extra weight ESPECIALLY that she's 38 and not 28. That's just the tough reality of it

Tsitsipas seems to lose against Raonic. Bad day so far. I just hope Federer wins in straight sets.
Gauff takes out Osaka in two sets, crazy effort from her. Osaka dropped some 30 unforced errors.
