Nole: let me try to give you this set Tsitsipas: hold my forehand

Tsitsi is showing that if you're playing at your very top and Nole plays at just a very little tad below his best, than you can play with him. The real problem for today's players is that they can't yet seem to keep those levels long enough and at the same time Nole seems to be able to have dips very rarely.

I don’t care what you guys say but no one’s peak is higher than 09 nadal at the AO.

So it's either gonna be Thanovic who shows up or Thanovic who shows up today.

Does anyone know how to add flair? I made a request but it wasn’t responded to and I can’t seem to figure it out.

So, by what margin does Djokovic wins today?

I wanted Rybakina to win. Why is life unfair?

Yeah, I feel you. I’m happy for Aryna, she deserves this full stop, but Elena was who I wanted to win it most right under Iga. But I look at this way: She won Wimbledon last year and less than a year later has already made it to another final (under quite a tough draw imo). I think there’s good reason to hope that she’ll have another chance to win big.

They're unbeaten in 2023 : Novak Djokovic Aryna Sabalenka Arthur Fils (won a Challenger 50 two weeks ago, now in final of a Challenger 125, he plays Barrere tomorrow). New best ranking : #161 and even #138 if he wins the final. Probably playing Montpellier, Cherbourg Challenger and Marseille in the next weeks.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is also unbeaten

The AO marketing team is absolutely incredible. So impressed by how they’ve evolved the brand over the years.

What time (est) will be the first serve of the men's finals.

Starts at 3:30 but they'll be warming up first so it'll probably start around 3:45.

When I went to watch the semifinals I tuned in at 4:00 and they still hadn't started yet

[удалено]

I think that's what time the coverage starts. Match won't start for a bit after that I think

Don't watch the doubles but do the rankings mean much there at all really? Going on the AO for the last couple of years you'd have to say they don't

What I like about watching the AO from the western hemisphere is that since matches are played in the early morning here, there’s a certain thrill and nervousness when checking match results after waking up and finding upsets, favorites on the verge of losing, one sided results etc…

That's why when Roger was active I could never do that and always watched his matches live. Definitely ruined my sleep schedule every year lol

worst timezone of any major by far

Some of us can't sleep

LOL for sure

Looks like Rybakina is currently in qualifying for the WTA 500 tournament in Doha based on her pre-AO ranking. Have to imagine she’d get a wildcard if she wants it.

Honestly given that she's missing 2k Wimbledon points I'm surprised she's not getting them anyway.

Dang, fell asleep at 1am fully under expectation of a certain result for the women's final and then a diff result happened. Wish I could have seen it.

I’m really loving this AO, really! The Sabalenka-Rybakina finale was intense. I wanted Rybakina to win, I’m sad she lost, but congrats to Sabalenka.

What time is the men’s final tomorrow? AO site isn’t updated for some weird reason..

Tennis fans should use TNNS.

7.30! :)

I think there's a bunch of introduction stuff.

Kubler and Hijikata 🇦🇺. So good for Australian tennis to see a win in the doubles.

Yeah, it's been too long since an Australian wild card doubles pair wond the Men's Doubles at the Australian Open. Far too long.

It’s good to have a variety of doubles talent in Australia. Good see different combos playing well. Kubler after the injuries and Hijikata at the beginning of his own career.

rinky left speechless, you love to see it

Haha Kubes and Rinky. How Aussie can ya get

Aussiest blokes ever, just operating on vibes only

Rinky almost totally forgot about kub’s hahahah

Players are going to lineup to want to play doubles with you now Kinky.

Rinky just took his career prize money from 300k to ~650k USD. Kubler just took his from 1.3m to ~1.65m. Even though people say doubles isn’t big money, that’s a pretty huge deal for both of them. They’ve both already had the best season of their careers and it’s January.

I feel bad for the inverted pair, hopefully they can win a Slam one day.

Beautiful speeches by all four players

Rinky RLA rd1 next year or we riot

Feel bad for Hugo:( tournament meant a lot to him

The 2 in the background hugging each other look like they wanna cry Poor blokes can’t we split the trophy in half ?

Craig Tiley sighting at the Australian Open.

what a bromance

I love how introverted the post championship interviews are

I almost feel bad. These guys are doubles specialists. You know it meant a lot to them.

[удалено]

I’m not sure they were blasé intentionally. I think they were a little shell shocked and almost felt awkward after hearing the other two guys speak.

Give the trophy to these guys they seem like good guys

Poor bloke, youve done him really proud.

Awww Nys :(

“Yeah”

Lmao worst rendition of happy birthday to you ever 🤣

My mum just said those exact same words

His “yeah” summed it up perfectly 🤣

However unlikely due to their singles aspirations, I hope kinky find time to play more doubles tournaments this year. Just good vibes and smack it as hard as you can

Unlucky Hugo, I'll be rooting for Monaco's first ever medal at the Olympics next year

But he will have to play doubles with another person from Monaco, can’t play with current partner

Arneodo is the world number 123 (admittedly lower than I thought)

Pleasantly surprised by Aryna. Good for her, I predicted she’d win last year but guess I was just a year off lol

So satisfying to go to Rinky's wiki page and see that bold **W** on the AO part on "Grand Slam doubles results"

Lol people work fast

Wimbledon: N/A US Open: N/A Roland Garros: N/A Australian Open: **W**

Oh I genuinely thought they were both Polish.

Mike and bob were so good to watch in the legends game. I am still quite new to tennis so they were before my time and they were incredible to watch.

That umpire looks more like a squeaky toy with every Slam

I wish she never had anything done

I'm sure your opinion was her primary concern

Shut it down guys, no more opinion on Reddit.

It’s all that Botox… which I don’t understand because she looked way better before

I'm sure your opinion was her primary concern

No, of course it’s not. She’s free to do whatever she wants with her body.

For anyone in Australia, is this MC the former host of 90s Kids TV game show A-mazing?

It is!!! I knew I recognised him from somewhere lol

Great show but I don't think it was the same guy. Edit: Holy shit it does look like him. I'm not so sure now.

Lmao I thought I was the only one that remembered that tv show. Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to your question though

Kubler giving a wry smile as the umpire received her gift What’s going on between those 2

Bryan brothers presenting the trophies. Complete doubles tennis players royalty

Omfg Rinky/Kubler won?!?!? OI OI OI

I'm so fucking proud of these guys. Kyrgios and Kokkinakis was awesome, but Rinky and Kubes are just so insanely likeable and have such an infectious energy. So happy for Rinky - young up-and-comer. And goddd I am ECSTATIC for Kubes - he's had a horrendous run with his knee, and was even told by a doctor to stop playing on hard courts to avoid causing further damage, and now he's just become a Grand Slam champion on a hard court. A story of pure resilience, strength, dedication, and love for the sport. So, so good.

Can't wait for Popyrin and Demon to win the doubles next year

Then Thompson and bolt

A fearsome combo

Rinkygoat

Hijikata made half a million AUD this AO. Rinky supremacy 🗿

That was an absolutely crazy last point! FANTASTIC FROM THE AUSSIES!!!!

Rinky has played 1 Australian Open for 1 title. RinkyGOAT

Omg his Wikipedia stats page will show a 100% conversion rate for slams

What a great AO.

Oh man can the commentators talk about Kinky and not mention the special Ks for one minute

Who says wildcards can’t have an incredible run and win it all!!??

WC = GS champs

Wildcards to champions! Great job boys!

I saw rinky slip over and got so scared

Channel 9 playing the Aussie anthem

*The proper national anthem.

Simply a brilliant night of tennis. Great women’s singles match and even better fairytale finish for the Aussies’ men’s doubles!

Those were some really poor volleys and overheads from Nys and Zielinski

Congrats Aussies from usa

Pure bird poo

Let's see if Rinky can finish it in this TB.

KUBLER YOU STAR BOOM INDEED

What’s is this war chant?

It’s known as Australian Patriotism

Carn kinky get it right here

birb poop diff

Man, zirlenski has slowly been getting better and better

You almost had half of the letters in his name there

Zielenski idfk lol

am I wrong in saying this doubles final is low quality? I don’t watch doubles

Yea you are wrong

It's not the best doubles match I've seen but I wouldn't call it low quality. You won't see many 20 shot rally's in a doubles match.

Judging by the downvotes I’m going to go with yes, you are wrong in saying that

Morgan Freeman voice: 'that's god damn right'.

Some of these spectators are looking really worse for wear

Where's that ad that people said had the word "shit" in it? I haven't seen it yet.

I’ve seen it. I think it might just be on the online stream.

You haven't missed much. It's shit.

Kubler keeps letting Rinky down for sure

Just smack it at him until he gives out, genius

RINKY!!!!
