Tomic and Krygios through to last 16. Been awhile two Aussies through

Flip/Rafter/Hewitt combo somewhere maybe as the last?

Re: Official 2015 Australian Open Thread

Had Richard Fromberg and Mark Philiipousis in the last 16 in 1997. And At Rafter and Andrew Ilie in 2001.

14 years ago is a long time.

Wow, Richard Fromberg. There's a name I'd forgotten.

Tomic is starting to grow up a bit as well. Davis Cup Selectors have done work to do this year.

Great stuff here by Kyrgios to come back from 2 sets down, I love the attitude he brings on court to be honest. The kids an entertainer

Terrific win by the kid , and love the swagger .
Tennis needs characters and Australia needs a decent player or two.
If he stays injury free he will be a star .
( nice humble normal parents also helps )

Murray through in straight sets last night but a great tournament nonetheless by Nick.

Yes that was quite a surprise. Berdych though is a quality player.

Great win by Serena, 6 open titles now making it 19 Grandslam championships. She really is a star and the best womens tennis player I have seen.

Great win from Novak Djokovic last night over a gallant Andy Murray. Fell away in the 4th set but fought hard in the first 3 sets. That's 8 grand slam titles now for Novak.

I prefer Novak to Murray. Just can't like that bloke.

Re: Official 2015 Australian Open Thread

Murray was disappointing in the end. Fell away badly after getting sucked in by the Djokovic gamesmanship.

I don't understand why Novak doesn't cop more criticism for his sham injury/tiredness that he employs when things are not going his way.

Performed similarly in the semi against Wawrinka. I also attended the QF (2 or 3 yrs ago) when he put on another similar effort against David Ferrer.

Serena is a great player but to me Margaret Court is the best female player I have seen.
