Respect about it! But this fact is due to ex-number 3 Grigor Dimitrov!

The bulgarian first tennis player is talanted, but he must be more perpetual in his wins!

:yes

I agree for Chung and Edmund, but Sandgren really has no business playing GS semifinals :d 

Still waiting for Zverev's GS breakthrough. It is getting frustrating for him now after all the success on the Tour and still without even GS QF. Also, Kyrgios was really unlucky witht the draw.

He defeated 5th and 9th seeds and other 2 players who were higher seeds than him , so he deserved that place in quarters , I don't have high expectations for him and I see him as a one tournament break through , but who knows he might has another career after his success in Australia . Kyrgios for sorry doesn't have the mentality of being a GS champion and top 5 player , he should believe in him self and keep him self away of this controversy he tries always to make , just focus on tennis .

If Kyrgios has done anything this AO, it's fight his heart out on the court. I know he's been prone to controversey, but this was basically the worst tournament to mention that :d 

 

Way, way worse are people like Tomic..

Well he still has some controversial moments here :d in 1st round he shouted on a fan shut the fuck up and against Dimitrov on 1st 2 sets when he loses a point he look at his team and blame them for something related to strength of rackets almost in each point he loses , so he's still not focusing 100 % on court IMO

At the end most of what I suspected beforehand of the men's competition turned out right: Roger main candidate with a distance, Zverev & Thiem will flop, Dimitrov being a big candidate was laughable, Kyrgios good but not enough, Cilic had some chance to do something important (I had him as my 5th favorite :d )

Fucsovics, Berdych and Chung.. This has to be the easiest draw for anyone ever to come to GS final.

These players defeated top players : Querrey , Delpo, Zverev, Novak , it's not Federer problem that these players failed to beat those easy oponents

    • It's Australian Nationals that Ceccon will be competing at where he'll be allowed in the A Final. Trials aren't until June.   I'm quite excited to see what times he puts up and hope he doesn't scratch any events from his huge program (100/200 FR, 50/100/200 BK, 50/100 FL).

    • by the way, there are three named Reale in Italian men's sabre team, are they triplets or what?

    • Good start for Canada. Cuba seems to be our biggest threat.   Unlike the men, the United States women don't seem to be progressing. Still a few years until the Olympics.
    • Well now's time for a little summary of my experience attending Stop 1.   Overall it was a nice experience, my first time visiting that venue in particular. It brought me some memories from my time at 2011 PanAm Games, seeing athletes from many countries. Now the venue is kind of dated, and it really needs some serious maintenance. For me it was unacceptable that the restrooms for the general public were in poor conditions, and also some sections need a fresh layer of paint, not to mention the heavy layer of dust in the ceiling. Thank God no debris fall in to the pool or on the spectators, but you may see a couple of pigeons continually flying around the swimming complex, even disrupting Mark Hrytsenko's last dive in 10m platform, before being sent away by Ruslan Ternovoi.   there was a pretty large number of Chinese fans on Saturday that came to support their team with flags & banners; however, their overall conduct was very poor, most of them crossing into the "top section" denying people who paid those tickets their rightful seats, ignoring and even shoving the few security elements at the venue and disrupting the general silence by replaying videos with loud sound or standing to take pictures while the divers were competing. Not that the Mexican fans were better; at times they were very disrespectful, particularly with divers preceding local competitors, since the cheered very loudly, ignoring the results (whether bad or good) of the former.   Among my personal highlights was the fact I had the opportunity to meet the Cuevas twins, who won a silver in 3m synchro and with only 14 are considered our next big stars in this sport, and also two time Olympic medalist in 10m synchro Alejandra Orozco, who was very active during the event, often oversawing and helping in any way needed, not to mention very kind and attentive to anyone asking for a photo. Also in attendance was Olympic figure skater Donovan Carrillo, whom I also asked for a photo.   I had an opportunity to see Maddison Keeney at the small cafeteria after winning a bronze in 3m synchro; she was very polite and gracious, accepting to take photos even when she needed to take a break and finish her sandwich; that same day I ran into Moritz Wesemann on my way back to my seat after getting a beer, and on the last day I almost bumped into Jack Laugher (he was going "incognito" mode while trying to decide what to grab from the food carts outside the main building).   So in general, I had a pleasant experience and would love to attend another event in the future. To top it off, there was a brief take of me during Sunday's men's 3m finals on WA stories, which of course I've already downloaded for keeps. I hope to find some time to upload some of the pictures I took; not the ones with me & above mentioned athletes since I'm not to photogenic, but of the few photos of the competition and the practice time that I find are worthy.

    • After the first period of today's game against Spain, I had a small hope the team could fight for a medal; but it seems they will instead contest the relegation.
