Tennis ITF Australian Open 2024


Recommended Posts

So :CZE Tomas Machac started in doubles with 0 points in the world ranking before the Australian open. Paired up with :CHN Zhang Zhizhen and they already made it to semifinals. From 0 to 720 points and quick improve from nothing to about 120th place. And if they make it to the final, he will appx. gain Doubles positions around 60-70, a spot where is ranked in singles. This is really impressive. I think this connection will last....

[4] :USA Coco Gauff advances to her first career Australian Open semifinal, after defeating :UKR Marta Kostyuk 7-6 (6), 6-7 (3), 6-2. 12th Grand Slam match win in a row for her as well. 

 

What a horrible, extremely low-quality match, I wanted to shut my TV off but I couldn’t. Neither one could hold serve, Gauff’ kept producing untimely double faults, Kostyuk was complaining the majority of the points. Kostyuk was also up 5-1 in set one, so a big missed opportunity there to wrap it up in straight sets. But honestly, winning a match with 16 winners and 51 (!) unforced errors (compared to Kostyuk’s 39 winners and 56 unforced errors) pretty much tells you all you need to know. 
 

Up next the winner of [2] :BLR Sabalenka v. [9] :CZE Krejcikova

[1] :SRB Novak Djokovic is the first men’s semifinalist, as he defeats [12] :USA Taylor Fritz 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3! :clap:

 

Djokovic has now won 33 consecutive matches at the Australian Open (dating back to 2018, where he lost to Hyeon Chung in R4), and has also improved his H2H against Fritz to 9-0 in the process.

Sabalenka grunts her way past Krejcikova in convincing fashion 6-2 6-3.  Krejcikova really had no answer for Sabalenka's pace and weight of shot and Krejcikova's variety didn't trouble her at all. Gauff next up in the semi-final.

    • Canada played well here in the league phase, but these new rules, in my opinion, are more of a lottery and it is easier for an unpleasant surprise to happen to the favorite, although of course Canada has always been better in women's water polo, just like the USA. In Italy, I'm worried about the decline of the our women team and now that Russia returns, we might have a serious problem to qualifying for the Olympics, even with 12 teams. It's a tragedy. I know that young girls in the ITA prefer swimming in these times, but our swimming federation should try harder to promote water polo among young girls. Apparently, they have excellent finances, so let them keep doing anything. After all, not everyone has to swim in a 50-meter pool. For now, in my opinion, in women's water polo for Italy, naturalizing 1-2 strong girls, e.g. in the centre, would help a lot, but our federation is stil sleepingWhat good naturalization means was shown to us by the Italian NT in women's hockey and in water polo 1-2 such strong girls would be enough...

    • At this point Brazil is the favourite to take the Olympic quota. They were unfortunate in their draws during the league stage. Based on their pre-suspended performances, Russia is a good team and Georgia has been on the edge of being decent.   On a good day Canada can defeat Brazil, but we also have days where we lose to Ukraine, a team that loses to Malta on the regular.   As for 2028, let's hope South Africa decides to compete. We could also take on China/Japan.
    • Canada beat France in the group stage and then lost to Ukraine today  Ukraine played at the 1996 Olympics, but was very weak later+ its base was in Mariupol, which they lost to Russia. I wonder where they train now?
    • Well, I don't know if I expected anything from Argentina, Brazil, and Canada, but...   I think after this tournament, I'm sure that whoever qualifies will be humiliated in Los Angeles.
    • Italy lost a friendly game to Hungary 0-2 yesterday and for me, that could be a key match, but Italy needs to win their opening 1-2 matches against Norway and Slovakia to have a chance to promote. Hungary has certainly been training together for several days and Italy will only be fully squad for today, with no Canadian head coach from OG, but just assistants from Italy and Canada for all the tournament. For it will be difficult for Italy to advance, especially since only team will advance- so the margin of error is practically zero. Italy definitely needs to win their first 1-2 matches, and then the crucial match against Hungary, who is a very strong team- Germany's level, in my opinion. It's a shame Austria isn't here instead of Hungary and that 2 teams aren't advancing to the Elite Division instead of one. Then I'd be much more at ease. Hungary is much better team for me than Austria in women hockey.
    • I had found a nice Reddit post that had a comprehensive view of what was left and at what price.  Using that, I knew what I wanted to get.  Fortunately, things were smooth in the process overall.  One session was sold out of the tickets I wanted and I had to change dates, but ultimately, I'm pleased.  (Hey...we're going to the Olympics! )   We're going to see Women's Handball Prelims (we get to see two matches), and we will see Men's Lacrosse Prelims (where we get to see three matches...which means that we'll be guaranteed to see Team USA  ).   We were slightly constrained in availability (obviously) and also with the thought that we'll have our (then) 9 and 13 year old daughters with us, so it needed to be family-friendly and fun...and I think both of these tick that box.  I also wanted to see a sport we don't normally see here, so Handball definitely ticks that.   We ultimately would love to snag Climbing tickets (Women's Boulder specifically) and perhaps Women's Volleyball or Basketball (Team USA preferably), and our schedule does allow us some flexibility (we have several days between these events).  But, who knows if any will become available at any point (either in a future Drop or in Resale).   Best of luck to anyone else still wanting tickets!   Also wanted to share this Google Doc that some other kind soul on Reddit put together for anyone else planning.
    • Italy for sure followed by distance with France and Hungary. Any other outcome would be surprising,   China is a mystery currently, but I would be surprised if they end by playing the promotion rather than relegation with us and Norway
