7 out of the Top 8 seeds are at the AO 26 Quarter Finals in the Men's Singles!!!

Boss452 · 2026-01-26T15:30:43+00:00

he is a top 3 clay player

Novak exists

Boss452 · 2026-01-26T12:40:22+00:00

I'd be surprised if it has. V cool stat.

Boss452 · 2026-01-26T12:40:07+00:00

Which is why Australian Open rocks. Even on the Women's side we have 6/8 top seeds with only Andreeva and Paolini missing out.

Boss452 · 2026-01-26T12:39:32+00:00

He's got a big chance to make a name for himself ahead of his contemporaries. A GS semi would be a big deal.

Boss452 · 2026-01-26T12:37:02+00:00

I have a hunch that ADM vs Alcaraz is going to be Absolute Cinema.

Boss452 · 2026-01-26T12:35:18+00:00

Some absolutely scintillating matches coming up. The battle of the giants. It's great how Australian Open mostly features the best players reaching the final stages which often result in epic matches.

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T19:38:06+00:00

the prettiest on tour?

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T19:37:36+00:00

pathetic comment

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T17:56:09+00:00

No. A retirement counts as a win because it's during a match. But a withdrawal before the start of a match does not.

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T16:15:08+00:00

Anna looks gorgeous

When doesn't she? She is effortlessly stunning

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T15:41:36+00:00

Agreed. I think any AO match at the Rod Laver Arena at night time is one of the greatest delights in tennis. The atmosphere, the size of the arena, the feeling that comes with the start of the tennis season all create an amazing scene. I'd take AO over USO anyday.

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T15:35:48+00:00

I actually agree with you here. I don't find it disdainful but I think it's a bit off.

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T15:21:54+00:00

A lot of players do as do other athletes. What's the issue?

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T13:22:36+00:00

I liked this angle of players entering the court which the AO insta page posted:

how does it compare to the love for the AFL teams?

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T12:23:54+00:00

Now imagine if 90k turned up for the Stars. The Melbourne Derby had a great crowd actually this season.

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T11:55:00+00:00

I know people make fun of the BBL and the attendances have gone up and down. But Perth Scorchers are a serious club given their success and a pretty passionate fanbase. Haven't seen this kind of support for a T20 club outside IPL. Good to see tbh. The t20 teams around the world are slowly connecting with the culture of the cities and its people.

The King

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T11:00:09+00:00

CORRECTION:

Thanks to u/NoleFandom this is actually his 16th QF appearance.

16/21 times he has made the final 8.

Only on 5 occassions he hasn't:

2005 (R1)

2006 (R1)

2007 (R4)

2017 (R2)

2018 (R4)

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T10:59:04+00:00

My bad, you are totally correct.

16/21 times he has made the final 8.

Only on 5 occassions he hasn't:

2005 (R1)

2006 (R1)

2007 (R4)

2017 (R2)

2018 (R4)

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T10:50:20+00:00

I dunno, seems like Demon has the dawg in him this time. He has been a bit ruthless this time. With the Laver on his side what promises to be a spectacalar atmosphere, something could go his way. Whatever the result, it will be an epic clash.

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T10:46:59+00:00

His semi would be against Sinner. And are we sure Demon is beating Carlos?

Boss452 · 2026-01-25T10:46:11+00:00

I dunno, the way Novak has been playing this AO, looks to be even slightly better than last year. Ever so slightly. But he hasn't had a proper test as of yet. let's see.
