Better player won. Vulture In Chief doesn't belong to top 100, let alone top 10.

I didn't watch the match but followed the livescoring, totally strange Monaco got beat so badly by a guy ranked what, 70 something? anyone watch it live? Juan injured or Kuznetsov just play great?

He had a back injury, and was also nursing a hand injury he got during the off-season. He also seemed like he didn't care that much, he was going very quickly between points he wasn't even bouncing the ball anymore. IF you have watched him before he bounces the ball a lot. He should have just skipped the Australian Open and gave it to someone that is fit enough to play. He was contemplating on not playing in the AO.

Yes, hand injury during the off-season, but he seemed to get a back injury from the past few days.

Disgusting disgrace of a top 100 performer let alone top 15.

Always good for tennis when an overranked pushing vulture loses early in a Slam. Now let's just hope Ferrer, Boredo and co. follow suit very soon.

I guess the AO crowd on show court 2 have a different opinion as he receive an ovation from the crowd because he finished the match rather than retiring, everyone in the crowd knew that he was not in any condition to continue specially on those last 2 sets. despite losing he got more supporters.

This pretty much says it all :eek: Embarassing
Well at least he didn't retire due to heat or maybe just cause he was losing. He could have retired with a valid reason. unlike some other in their career.

Monaco was injured, he couldn't play a single match this year because of the same injure. He should't come to AO, now, he won't be able to play DC most probably.
It was actually a different injury he missed due to a hand injury, In AO it was back injury.
