Thanks a lot Nick 🙁
Haven’t watched any yet but guess from the above disappointment Nick has pulled out? so he won’t get the chance to beat Nole. I’m mostly annoyed for my bracket.
LOL, “mostly annoyed for my bracket.”
I know the feeling 😀
Well at least I have more or less the same picks as Gil Gross and I didnt copy him honest ! Have Tsitsipas and Fritz going far.
Someone who does the bracket had him winning! S/he must be even more snnoyed…;)
Nik did pull out of the tournament.
WOW! Never write Andy off! On challenge think everyone had him going out to Mr Moviestar, incuding me. Had MB losing to 3xK next round, was unsure of his current form.
That is y I really hate predictions! Who would have thought Murray beating Mr Movie star?! Lol, that is y they play!!
Vamos, Rafa! Looking forward to seeing you play!
So Ricky was right about Brooksby beating Ruud. Not wildly surprising to see Ruud go out.
Fritz lost to Popyrin which honestly doesn’t surprise me. Fritz is deeply unreliable.
PCB is out so there are virtually no seeds left on Novak’s side of the draw.
Ruud,Fritz and Matteo all out?
Could be an Aussie going through.Cant see Andy lasting but here’s hoping.
He seems to have turned the match around against Kokkinakis. But he will have to go 5 to win. I can’t really see him going that much further after back to back 5 setters.
Jabeur is out.
So sad for Ons but I think Al said she was injured.
Can’t find women’s AO page
Margot,
Here is the link:

I was sad to see the Minister of Happiness lost too.
Andy Murray, though! I listened to the match on AO radio because TC and ESPN are both lame when it comes to broadcasting live matches. Wow, what a win for Andy! Proud of him!
I see Korda is beating Med!
Meanwhile Kk beat Tiafoe and Nishikoia took out McDonald in straights emphasising what a bad loss that was.
Norrie has also lost!
Good to see Hubi finally getting things together in a slam.
Rafa’s draw did open up. He woukd not have played Tiafoe or Med. it’s too bad he had another injury.
I read on VB, I believe it was forum member nou-amic, that Rafa had a similar injury in the 2018 AO quarterfinal match with Cilic. I remember that match. Then the injury flared up again at Acapulco. I thought it was a hamstring injury at that time.
I thought Novak was a lock to win this year. But he clearly is hampered at times by the injury. How is it going to hold up if he has to play a long match?
Mind you there is a good chance he doesn’t have to.
Amy…he says it hampers then takes pills and he’s all fine..he is playing more attacking and him even slightly compromised is better than 98 pc of the tour whi just can’t exploit it..see dimi today ..if he can’t slide make him slide
Anyways I still have him for the title..Korda n tsitsipas n rune have the game to beat him but in best of 5 and on rla,they will choke n Novak just has this confidence on rla..
Rune has to wrap the match against rublev fast to have a chance against Novak…rublev if he wins will surely not beat Novak
Tsitsi can win it but can he keep it together n believe he’s a choker
BTW Amy do u still see a slam for rafa
I don’t think Tsitsi can win sanju. His backhand is way too much of a liability. Especially against Novak. Return not great either.
Korda is actually maybe the only chance to beat him. He nearly beat him in Adelaide.
Rune had a fall didn’t he?
I honestly don’t know what to think about Rafa now. If his confidence is really gone then things will be very difficult.
The one bright spot in this sorry tale is that Rafa will come back playing on clay. He really needs Moya to help him now.
Great effort by Andy. He really needs to raise his ranking so that he doesn’t have to play seeded players in the first round.

For those interested, I have previewed Sinner vs Tsitsipas
With my prediction at the end
