The Deuce: Someone really needs to step up and challenge them

Australian Open thread - Sounder January 23, 2026, 21:47:52

PDO, talk about a legacy defining match in the Men's final. So many changes - JacobRDaugherty January 30, 2026, 9:20:23
- As a tennis fan, there is no part of me that isn't rooting for the Djoker - Sounder Today, 2:18:09
- Admittedly, didn't watch, as I was sleeping after getting back last night. - PDO January 30, 2026, 11:57:06
  - If it’s possible, this is the time* - Sounder January 30, 2026, 19:42:45
  - I am going to try to watch. I assume Sabalynka is going to roll tonight* - JacobRDaugherty January 30, 2026, 19:40:28
    - Rybakina is really good. Should be a great women’s final. - Kajagoogoo January 30, 2026, 21:10:30
- Djokovic is a freak, wish it was Zverev in the final.* - gullit January 30, 2026, 10:06:22
  - Absolutely fucking not. That guy is the worst of us.* - PDO January 30, 2026, 11:55:31
    - I remember you talking about what a horrible person Sasha is. Just a disrespectful twat, right? - Kajagoogoo January 30, 2026, 11:57:34
      - Just horrible. Even if you take away the DV accusations, his treatment of staff - PDO January 30, 2026, 12:03:06
        
        I just want Djokovic to win another one.* - gullit January 30, 2026, 22:08:16
- I'm a little in shock over both semifinal finishes. - illinilosch January 30, 2026, 10:02:45
Maybe being pure blooded helps with the heat.* - nash January 30, 2026, 9:12:01
- That was pretty great* - JacobRDaugherty January 30, 2026, 9:14:44
The last set that Djokovic won was in the third round - Sounder January 28, 2026, 10:34:53
- Sinner is gonna roll him. I'll guess 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. I love Djoker, but he's toast. - Kajagoogoo January 28, 2026, 10:42:48
  - Good call :)* - Mrap24 January 30, 2026, 10:03:30
    - Glad to be wrong, but let's be honest. Novak looked pretty pedestrian vs. Musetti. - Kajagoogoo January 30, 2026, 10:07:08
  - Someone really needs to step up and challenge them - Sounder January 28, 2026, 10:44:37
Learner folded in the 3rd. It went from 2-1 to 5-1 real fast* - JacobRDaugherty January 26, 2026, 22:55:36
6/16 Americans in quarterfinals - Sounder January 26, 2026, 7:19:43
- Learner Tien and Iva Jovic are the only party crashers. Both young gun Americans. - OrangeSox January 26, 2026, 7:24:09
  - Would have been great had Fritz made the quarters and Brendan - JacobRDaugherty January 26, 2026, 7:30:29
    - Shelton has a big enough game, just gives me Roddick vibes at times - OrangeSox January 26, 2026, 7:44:32
      - IMO, Shelton feels like one of the few players - Sounder January 26, 2026, 7:48:12
        
        Agree, but he's 1-11 vs. them so far* - OrangeSox January 26, 2026, 7:51:29
        
        In his defense, they are very good* - Sounder January 26, 2026, 7:53:03
        
        The problem with Shelton in my eyes is that he just doesn't seem to have an effective Plan B game. - illinilosch January 26, 2026, 8:18:01
        
        He is a Trump supporter. I don't think he is going to evolve to a changing game* - JacobRDaugherty January 26, 2026, 10:12:34
        
        He's not....but he hasn't done anything to dispel that notion. Which is on him.* - PDO January 26, 2026, 22:40:06
        
        This is JMO based on nothing, but I think he sort of likes being controversial and provocative - Sounder January 26, 2026, 22:43:48
        
        In this particular case, with right wing stuff, he's got some family from deeeeep in central indiana - PDO January 26, 2026, 22:51:06
        
        He hasn't done himself any favors - Sounder January 28, 2026, 10:35:57
        
        I am also a fan of his - Sounder January 26, 2026, 8:19:32
        
        I hope someone steps up - bjl63 January 26, 2026, 8:33:15
        
        Ben can definitely be that challenger of those 2 guys with his firepower. - illinilosch January 26, 2026, 8:26:12
PDO, On what platform are you announcing?* - IlliniRunner January 24, 2026, 0:30:19
- ESPN's paid site, whatever it is nowadays. I know its been a bit of a cluster. - PDO January 24, 2026, 5:56:46
  - I heard 40 in the next room cussing out loud. Turned out this was what it was about. * - doubledown January 26, 2026, 10:42:12
  - If you could pass along a superfan’s extreme frustration and disappointment - Sounder January 24, 2026, 9:16:07
    - Unfortunately, I work for the production company, run by Tennis Australia. - PDO January 24, 2026, 17:23:14
Andreeva Svitolina tomorrow should be epic* - JeffFrank January 23, 2026, 22:47:09
Shoutout to Spizz for showing out* - PDO January 23, 2026, 22:23:05
Until he gets saved by the ref* - Mrap24 January 23, 2026, 21:59:47
- Yeah I'm not sure what to think of that roof closing rule. - illinilosch January 23, 2026, 22:29:03
  - I mean, they have the same rule in place in NYC, and the ATP is incorporating rules too. - PDO January 23, 2026, 22:37:45
    - The rule was implemented properly, and TFB it was hot AF - Sounder January 23, 2026, 23:24:20
      - Spizzirri would have won with the roof open. - illinilosch January 24, 2026, 8:09:47
        
        Correct. I talked to him and his coach off the record afterwards, as we know each other well. - PDO January 24, 2026, 18:20:13
      - Agreed. And I can tell you from walking from the media center to a court, maybe 100 yarrds - PDO January 23, 2026, 23:43:43
        
        105 is absolutely brutal* - Sounder January 23, 2026, 23:50:26
        
        And Tuesday it’s supposed be a high of 107-110* - bjl63 January 23, 2026, 23:55:12
        
        That doesn't seem great* - Sounder January 24, 2026, 0:23:14
    - Yep fair point* - illinilosch January 23, 2026, 22:55:06
