Shows tennis in australia is well and truly back after a decade or so of Lleyton (and to a lesser extent Stosur) carrying the whole country.

The other thing i found interesting was that we have 10 players in the top 100, and Hewitt wasnt one of them!

Hopefully someone can make a deep run.

Raonic Kyrgios about to start, should be a cracker

Great win by Kyrgios

Stosur lead 2-0, lost the match 2-6, 0-6.

Bloody hell, i had Kyrgios 3-2!

i feel asleep during the third set, so didnt get to see him win it

great win though, you can tell those two will be battling for years to come

Kyrgios showing a bit of fight here, just saved two match points.

Still finding it hard to get out of his own head though, chatting to himself every other point.

Probably just lacks the maturity to really buckle down when things aren't going well, but jeez he has talent. Third time into the second week of a grand slam as a (just) 20 year old is great.

Just won the third after saving those two match points. Game on here!

Glad to hear because his antics in the 2nd were a disgrace

Disagree he is a disgrace. People simultaneously bag someone when they are an individual like he is, and then yearn for players to not be fedbots

He is young and will mature in time. Compare him to Djokovic, Murray, Hewitt, even Federer at that age and he isn't much different.

He isn't a disgrace. But his court manner in the second was.

Hope he learns.

Didn't see all of the second as I was watching open mike so I'll have to take your word for it

Towards the end of the set when he was well down he basically refused to play and gave up.
I didnt say he was a disgrace overall, I quite like him. Just thought his effort in the second set showed a total lack of respect and was a disgrace, big differance

Fair enough, I misread your post

4-3 up in a tiebreak to save the match and Gasquet has an unsuccessful challenge and umpire says 3 remaining and he stops Gasquet from serving to say the scoreboard still says 4.

Then comes out and plays two massive points.

Weirdo, but so watchable.

Now a double fault on set point!

And then hits a second serve halfway up the net.

Really needs to gather it here or he will lose the match.

And another double fault on match point to lose it.

Lost his head completely after one bad point. That will come with maturity but it was great to watch
