Hi - my wife and I are going to see friends in New Zealand in January of next year and, being big tennis fans, would love to go Melbourne while we're 'over that way.' For any regulars, do you have any idea when dates are officially announced? I know it's usually played in the last two weeks of...

I realised yesterday that, despite the two women's semis being played in the night session, the men's were split between the day and the night session. Okay, potentially longer matches and all that, and we wouldn't want the second one to be a 4 am finish, but would it potentially be possible...

Actually it's a double pretty bold prediction but why not? Tennis needs more stories like this.

It must be a sort of compensation for last year's evens, I think. Carballes, Dellien/Q, Dimitrov/Karatsev, Carreno/De Minaur. Please somebody tell me this is a joke. I hope to wake up tomorrow morning and see that this draw is just the result of my imagination.

He may be rude and impolite, but he's a tank. Tomorrow he will beat Novak for the first time and in two months he's going to win his first slam. Mark these words.

There should have been no way back from two sets down. But somehow Rafael Nadal found a way ?? Here’s my match analysis of one of the most insane pieces of theatre we've ever witnessed! https://jackedward.substack.com/p/issue59

He breaked Rafa's serve when he was serving for the match, he was serving fine, he had the momentum and he serve a very poor game with not many first serves, many unforced errors and some silly decisions. Nadal didn't even played that great to break, he just had to put the ball in play and let...

After so many years of disappointment at AO, this man came and won DCYGS and broke the slam record in his least successful slam, not at RG. And he did this after missing two slams last season and having serious doubts about returning to competitive tennis. Rafa now has 6 HC slams and 8 slams...

21 RAFA YOU GOAT RAFA YOU LEGEND RAFA YOU BEAST You made me suffer but you can't be the greatest if you don't suffer. I'm in tears. There will never be a player like him again. Never

To me, this realistically seems to be Rafa's last chance to win DCGYS and another AO title. In case he wins, it would be a 13-year gap between his first and second title in Melbourne. No matter what happens I don't think we can hope for another deep run or a good chance to win more titles at the...

Good match from Rafa bar the drop of intensity in the 3rd set when he lost a game he should've won. Still, he was good in the fourth set and was covering the court extremely well, some of the defensive/counter shots he made reminded me of peak HC Rafa. The last set was vintage Rafa. Enjoy haters!

What a mess has just been made! Now it will be a cakewalk for Alcatraz if he can get past Berrettini.

So, already in December, there's a lot of speculation as to whether Djokovic will play the Australian Open due to the undeclared, but very much obvious, fact that he didn't take the COVID-19 vaccine. Speculation continued throughout the month and into January while Djokovic keeps quiet on this...

Let's take a short break from the Visovic saga that's reaching its culmination as we speak and talk about tennis. Does the court appear fast this year in Melbourne? I would say that it looks medium-fast, certainly slower than 2017 but faster than the 2011 - 16 editions of the tournament. Discuss.
