Sinner will walk over Rublev. He was in real danger of losing 2 times already.

What I'm really looking forward to is the Sinner - Đoković match.
I hope the odds on Sinner will be good, I plan to bet big on anything over @2 odds, and I expect it to be closer to 3.

After a long time, I watched a tennis match. De Minaur lost the first set to Rublev 4-6. He won the next two sets with the support of the crowd and tiebreaks with scores of 7-6 and 7-6, and took the lead 2-1 in the sets. I especially paid attention to Rublev in the third set, he was demoralized but he controlled his nerves. At one point in the 3rd set, he adjusted his racket by hitting his knee. He was very angry, but then he came to his senses.
He took the 4th set 6-3 and won the set 2-2. Rublev had the wind in the last set, taking the set 6-0 without losing any points and advancing to the quarter-finals by winning the set 3-2.
The match lasted approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes. When De Minaur was also eliminated, there was no host tennis player left in the Australian Open.

Yea i lost a bet on de Minaur, it was a good 5 setter but he couldnt do it. Rublev now
has to play Sinner! and Sinner has yet to drop a set in this years tournament and this
is Rublevs second 5 setter!

Sinner is big favourite @ 1.25.

Interestingly they are ranked 4 and 5.


Good win also by Fritz over Tsitsipas, he books himself a spot against Djokovic,
thats a tough draw for him.

I can say that I watched a lot of tennis matches in two days. When we look at the matches played, Alcaraz is the biggest candidate for the championship. He is both very energetic and a great talent. I think we will see Djokovic and Alcaraz in the final. Alcaraz is one step ahead again with his youthful energy, but Novak has great experience and is one of the living legends.
Alcaraz looks like the new Nadal to me. He is a citizen of the same country and has the same physique type as Nadal. If he does not experience injury problems, he will make his mark in the last 10 years.

You scared the sh*t out of me, mate! I read your post like: Sinner v Rublev walkover. I frantically started browsing news websites to find out who withdrew and why. After not finding anything I re-read your post and understood what exactly you wanted to say. 

Anyway, all quarter-finalists are known, in ATP Djokovic is going to face Taylor Fritz, Sinner is taking on Rublev, Medvedev v Hurkacz and Alcaraz v Zverev. In WTA, Sabalenka will face ninth seed Barbora Krejcikova, Gauff will play Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk. The remaining quarter-finalists are quite unexpected: Zheng will play Kalinskaya and Yastremska will meet Linda Noskova.

My predictions are as follows:

Djokovic v Sinner
Medvedev v Alcaraz

Sabalenka v Gauff
Kalinskaya v Noskova

[vennali]

Our Quartefinalists, ladies and gentlemen. Some really spicy matchups here and there while WTA is a wild wild west as usual, ready to be conquered. Sabalenka has a real shot at it if she can remain consistent and sharp.

I agree with frka, Sinner should bear Rublev.

Jannik had to have been eying up the possibility of a match up with Djokovic,
this potential match up is as big as it gets, meeting Djokovic who he beat last year
a multiple winner of AO and getting past him means a very much stronger chance at
the title.

I think I would do a bet on him too if the odds are nice.

I think Novak Djokovic will easily beat Tyler Fritz. Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev will witness the match between two equal tennis players.
In my opinion, Rublev is one step ahead. I see Medvedev as luckier in the Hubert Hurkacz and Daniil Medvedev pairing, but I don't think Medvedev is playing top-level tennis. In the match between Zverev and Alcaraz, Alcaraz will be the side that passes the round. I think the name of the final will be Djokovic, Alcaraz.

[Strongkored]

I think Novak Djokovic will easily beat Tyler Fritz.

It wasn't too easy in my opinion, especially in the first and second sets and how Djokovic who had many opportunities to break Fritz game, failed to take full advantage of it, only in the third set bit easy for Djokovic and the fourth set went quite wild but Djokovic managed to overcome it well to reach his 48th semifinal in four grand slams.

Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev will witness the match between two equal tennis players.
In my opinion, Rublev is one step ahead.

I really want to watch this match even though Jannick Sinner is the favorite and so far the only player who has advanced to the quarterfinals who hasn't dropped a set but if Andrey Rublev can play as well as he did in the fourth and fifth sets when beating De Minaur I think it will be very even but Sinner is very likely to only lose one set and after that overcome Rublev and again Rublev becomes a grand slam quarterfinal specialist he wasn't good enough in the quarterfinals because his opponent was tougher than him.

Coco Gauff made it to the semifinals and became her first semifinal at the Australian Open and this was a tiring match, but unfortunately, the Gauff vs Sabalenka meeting will take place in the semifinals because they were in the same draw but that happens if Sabalenka can overcome Krecjikova, and looking at the other draws it looks like Linda Noskova will have a big chance of getting to the final but this only my predictions.

[bct_ail]

That was not an easy match for Djokovic against Fritz. Fritz put up a very good fight. Perhaps if he had also won set 1, it would certainly have been a five-set match. In any case, they were great rallies in that match. Nice to watch
The quarter-final between Sinner and Rublev starts in an hour. Sinner is the favourite in this match. But Fritz also showed that one have great chances as an outsider.

today djokovic easy win meet T fritzs 3-1
7-6, 4-6 , 6-2, 6-3
i think grand slam australia open will to final meet djokovic vs alcaraz
Alcaraz is a bright young player. but usually Spanish players are strong on clay. but not strong on grass.
And the Australian Open Grand Slam is not a clay court.

Fritz pushed Djokovic hard in the first 2 sets. The first set ended as a result of tie break. Although Fritz took the second set, Novak showed his difference in the 3rd and 4th sets.

Novak passed the round without any difficulty. Right now, the only tennis player who can challenge Novak and even beat him in my opinion is Alcaraz. He will also be on the court tomorrow and although his opponent Zverev is the number 6 seed, the tennis he played the other day did not satisfy me. There is no situation that can force Alcaraz. Alcaraz is the clear favorite in this tournament.

[bct_ail]

That was a great performance from Sinner. Very impressive. In general, his performance at the Australian Open is very consistent and at a high level. He has always won in 3 sets so far while the others have lost at least one set. i mean those who are still in the tournament. So he will not be an easy opponent for Djokovic and we can certainly looking forward to an exciting match.

Yea unbelievable from Sinner, 2 easy enough sets for him with a wobbler in the middle on
a tie break. Its true he has still yet to drop a set in the AO and is looking strong to meet
Djokovic on Friday. Looking at the odds now Sinner is at 2.8, great chance of an upset
with decent odds. Djokovic is at 1.45.

Djokovic dropped a set against Fritz today and even had a tie break thrown in but of course
he is hard to beat over 2 sets, he can drop the first two sets and still win the match, thats
been proven twice I think.

Medvedev needed 5 sets for reaching the semi-finals. Hurkacz played more risky in this match, while Medvedev played it for safely. That was interesting to watch. It was a match that took a lot of energy. Medvedev said in the interview, hes is totally exhausted but happy. Now he can recover a little bit and watch who his next opponent will be. Alcaraz or Zverev.

Medvedev has never been a good tennis player in my eyes. Hurkacz fought well, but Medvedev came out on top.
It is a fact that Novak plays tennis more effectively despite his age. If Novak had not been banned from the Australian Open when he was anti-vaccination, he could have become the Australian Open champion that year too.
He is one of the favorites this year too, but there is a threat like Alcaraz. I am looking forward to seeing how Alcaraz will perform in front of Zverev.
Medvedev passed this round, only to be crushed by Alcaraz in the semi-finals.

A good performance from Medvedev. His opponent Hurkacz looked like he was definitely playing risky and also looked to be very confident. I don't know if that was actually overconfidence or not. Because I think he should have played a little more carefully. After all, this was the quarter-final. Now Medvedev is in the semi-finals. It is still undecided who is going to be his opponent. But whoever it is, it is going to be a very hard one for him in my opinion. I actually think it might be Alcaraz.

[cryptofrka]

Anybody watching Zverev - Alcaraz? Zverev destroyed him in the 1st set.

Alcaraz had it easy so far while Zverev struggled a lot, I expected him to win easily.
He'll need to improve drastically to have a chance to turn this around.

Define "good player". Medvedev is real good, his is an ex #1 ATP player and a GS winner! If you mean he has poor technical skills, I agree, but that doesn't make him a bad player. There are thousands of players with perfect forehands and backhands and serves and volleys but unfortunately they can't win in a competitive match.

Anyway, WTA semifinals are known:

Sabalenka v Gauff
Yastremska v Zheng

The Ukrainian qualifier Yastremska is the biggest suprise of this tournament. And her journey is not over yet.

Now watching Zverev v Alcaraz and it's 6:1 Zverev first set. What a surprise! My bet is on Carlitos so I'm praying he's gonna come back.

[Strongkored]

It seems that many were surprised to see the score in the Zverev vs Alcaraz match because it was not what many people predicted, and currently Alcaraz is two sets behind Zverev, a very impressive performance from a player who spent more time on the court to get to the quarterfinals. The third set will really determine whether Alcaraz will be able to survive in this tournament or whether Zverev will close out the match.
From those who have been to the semi-finals, Sinner has the most solid performance and whoever will go to the semi-finals between Zverev or Alcaraz, these are all the top players who will make the semi-finals and finals very interesting and this year Djokovic will not easily defend his title, it is even very possible that his progress will be stopped in the semi-finals and his winning streak at the Australian Open will be broken.

[bct_ail]

And the second set also goes to Zverev. Great performance from him. He has Alcaraz completely under control. He is focussed and makes sure that Alcaraz makes mistakes. When one consider that Zverev has played 5 hours more in this tournament so far he is still very focussed.
Fitness will probably also decide this match in the end. If it goes to a fourth set it will be more difficult for Zverev.

Technically I don't like it at all and I don't think it's good. He is a tennis player who won the 2021 US Open championship, but I do not like it. Once upon a time, there was Goran Ivanisevic, a Croatian tennis player, but I never liked him either. He beat Patrick Rafter in the final with no technical skills, only hard serves, and became the Wimbledon champion. For example, both Nadal and Novak would be technical and the fight would be extreme. Medvedev is someone who has also won ATP championships, but he is not the tennis player that interests me. I also respect those who like it.
