Aussie Open Update:

• As regards the magic elixir that Fed imbibes, all I can say is “I’ll have what he’s having”. Roger wavered a bit, but as usual, he was up to the challenge when it mattered most in a filthy good fifth set. As for Marin, he loses another major opportunity, and is closing in on age 30 … c’mon guy, you need to step up immediately… you’re an aging Croatian.

Aussie Open Update:

• Yesterday at Melbourne, the bearded, prancing palindome made the kind of wreckage out of Edmund that we hadn’t seen since the disaster days in Lake Superior.

Aussie Open Update:

• All eyes are now focused on his royal Thighness Hyeon Chung, who pounds Tennys Sandgren into submission, in three heavy duty rounds of ball striking.
• Nadal needs plenty of icy-hot after his 5-set run in with Cilic.  Give Marin loads of credit; there aren’t too many guys out there who could have pulled this off. As is well documented, usually it’s Nadal’s opponents who get torn to shreds.
• Keys gets keyed by a very determined and focused Kerber, and moves on to face the scampering Simona Halep. #Kerber #Keys

• Kerber cruises, bending, no squatting, down for her trademark Prussian-press forehand… Yavol!
• Keys proceeds with little resistance to cream Caroline.
• Mertens manufactures one against Martic.

• Berdych can’t play much better than he did in dispatching del Potro

Aussie Open Update:

• Novak beats the searing heat, and there’s another major disappointment for Monfils;
• While the state of American Men’s tennis isn’t so amazing, American Tennys certainly lookws wonderful in taking down a gimpy Wawrinka;
• No way Struff had the right stuff to knock out Federer;
• The big German Z-man puts Gojowczyk to sleep;
• Things got a little too close for comfort for Dominic in his match with cuddly Denis Kudla;
• Pink twinkletoed Benneteau was all aglow after his 4-set conquest of favored David Goffin;
