Rainer makes history

1st person ever not to win more than 3 games in any set in the final

not really, at least Korda beat Rios 6-2 6-2 6-2 at Aus Open 98,Lendl beat Mecir 6-2 6-2 6-2 at Aus Open 89.

But this final ties the least numbers of final record at Aus Open

Least Number of Games in Final

oh ok thats wrong but i got that from Radio and didnt recheck but still

well done Andre

 

[Hyde']

well done!!! Agassi

 

[lokon]

He didnt give a shoutout to his wife at the awards speech?! How come no 'I love you Stef'?

 

[Layla]

Yeah, that was bizarre. He didn't mention his wife and kid at all.

 

[Scotso]

because he's a closet case

 

[Chloe le Bopper]

He never mentions his family.

Likely I assume, because she asked him not to..seeing as she is very private and doesn't want any more attention on her than there already is

 

[lokon]

I agree that she most likely wanted him not to say anything about her (good andre for obeying steffi if thats the case ) but I mean is it really going to bring that much MORE attention to her if he just states that he loves her? Im sure he says it enough when they are together, but for the fans its kinda sweet and makes us feel all tingly inside hearing sappy crap like that (this is not meant to put andre down either)

 

[Beulah]

I agree, her wish is his command. And I forgive him.

Congratulations Andre!
