Devo for Fed going down :( but this young greek kid can really play

He broke down Fed's rhythm and was brutal on serve

He looks like the next big thing, doesn't he.

Fed losing opens up the draw nicely for Rafa, would love to see him win it.

Also, Barty traveling along nicely. Would be great to see her go all the way as well.

Novak is such a machine, like a robot that doesn't break down - I thought Nadal was in the better form coming into the final but Novak is still Novak

Wanted Nadal to win but you gotta respect the Joker

Yeah I wanted Rafa to win but would have been nice to see a better contest.

Not to worry, the women's final was a great match.

yea Women's final was a good game. I was actually going for Petra Kvitová unlike seemingly the rest of the country.

Aussie tennis crowds are funny, meant to be about a fair go and barracking for an underdog or someone up against it but if you from a Euro country you are instantly disliked and afforded no fan fare even if you arn't the atypical arrogant ******* that gets associated. The crowds were always so one sided even in the neutral games.

I get Osaka is a popular player and a nice girl and was playing for a first ever womens Grand Slam but Kvitiva is quality experienced player (who doesn't sook) and coming back from a home invasion where she was stabbed in the hand to play a finals at grand slam deserves respect.

Kvitová completely outclassed our Ash Barty but that shouldn't be a reason to not show some love.

Bit like with Novac - why the **** would you boo the bloke?

Ash Barty looking good at Roland Garros. Into the quarters and no Williams or Osaka to worry about.
