AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2015

Quite like Stan to retain the title. Seems wrong for him to win one slam.

Third straight year of a Nole/Stan AO match, hopefully as good as the past two years...

(1) Serena Williams vs. Madison Keys
(10) Ekaterina Makarova vs. (2) Maria Sharapova

Williams 0-0 Keys
Sharapova 5-0 Makarova

zzz

(1) Novak Djokovic vs. (4) Stan Wawrinka
(7) Tomas Berdych vs. (6) Andy Murray

Djokovic 18-3 Wawrinka
Berdych 6-4 Murray

ive barely seen murray this tourney but if berdych plays as well as he did vs nadal (huge if obv) he'll win. granted, I would NEVER bet on berdych to win

obv early, but makarova looks shook

her serve looks terrible vs maria whereas vs halep it won her the match

Keys hanging tough, saves seven MPs to make Serena serve it out. Wish she had started playing like this, like four games ago.

8th MP saved

Fun match... Second set was way closer than the score suggests. Keys keeps getting better and better.

This final again! Looking at my Saturday morning timings...I'll be in the air again but this could well be nice timing for it to start and finish during my entire stopover in Paris. Pity Paris airport wifi sucked

So...Berdych to win in four, maybe straight sets actually.

I could really with the Beeb showing Djoko - Stan tomorrow but its not high profile enough - I'll worry about that later tho'.

Embarrassing at the net from Berdych but he is already all over Murray's serve: 1-1

LOL DF -- Murray went for a 2nd serve ace.

Murray can't get near Berdych's serve right now..

In the prev Murray game he made an impossible get possible at 0-30. Berdych got him into deuce but Murray held on - great resistance.

Can't find his way into B's serve tho'.

question of when not if and so it proves. Berdych to serve for the set.

Couple of unforced errors from Berdych and Murray made him pay - break back!

Fuck is Berdych doing changing balls, playing games here.

no andy why you had him on the ropes.

This was "nonsense" Andy, yes it was..

Berdych should have made that way more harder for Murray: TB

Murray breaks racquet string to hand the mini-break back

Played great at the net to save the first set point

Ace - SP Berdych

oh dear...Berdych 1st set.

this match is pretty bad so far

Not one for the neutrals.

wtf at this early break with net cord...Berdych gone to sleep?

i would like berdych to win but have zero interest in a novak-berd final

Well Stan might win tomorrow.

sleepy Tomas is PLANK, tennis disaster avoidable!

3-0, see what this new Berdych thing is all about now..

lol @ 2x slips in a row.

new Berdych was a load of guff - double break.

I'm really glad I like Tomas for his amazing legs rather than anything else.

I admire his fiancee.

At least if he loses we'll be spared the whole "engagement spurs Berdych to AO final" crap. I avoid this stuff like the plague but as I don't live in a cave I might not be able to avoid it.

5-0 after 22 mins..

Berdych shirt change :D

Satorova - break it off.

Discussing with my mum who might be the best UK sportsperson of the last couple of decades. She's gone with Redgrave -_-

well Berdych had to get that right at BP.

Murray playing beautifully now

Berdych lost from 40-0 up. 2 DFs..

Murray played two brilliant points when he got the chance tho'.

with an ace: 2-1 Murray

I don't usually just watch tennis if it's Murray in a Slam semi or final btw - I just happen to be visiting my parents today.

Crucial game this

Big hold, although really a Berdych choke, which may prove terminal given how he's started the next game

Best point of the match. Murray taking charge

i like berdych but i always want murray to win.

Everybody hanging on..
