Pretty much every tennis and golf major has had a stickied thread for the past couple years.

LMBAO at me being the one upset.
I just made a quip that this thread has been here for a week and had only 32 replies. Gently poking fun at Undies and Grizz.
Then Grizz went apeshit and called ME the old man curmudgeon?

Re: Australian Open 2018
And Rafa is done, right after Dimitrov. Federer's title to lose now if it wasn't already.
I hope that Rafa is not seriously injured, I've never seen him that angry after a match before and retiring mid match is unusual for him.
He is snake bitten when it comes to the Australian Open. So many unfortunate moments.

Re: Australian Open 2018
Rafa was playing so well up a set and a break. Take nothing away from Cilic but there is no chance that Rafa was going to lose in form.
If Berdych beats Federer it will be the first time in something like 15 years to no top-4 seeds advance to SF.

Re: Australian Open 2018
Something happened in the upper leg region, Rafa himself couldn't put a finger on it. MRI tomorrow. Not his hip, knee or groin.
He was on fire in the first set. Easily his highest level of the tournament. It's a real shame, not many more chances to complete the double slam now. You have to wonder whether gunning for the #1 ranking last season and then foolishly giving it a go in the ATP Finals contributed to this as Rafa still wasn't ready to prepare for this season properly. He has never won a major cold and without a lead-in tournament.

Re: Australian Open 2018
I think we all were. This is another disappointing slam in a string of many in terms of epic matchups. And there isn't even a lot of next gen emergence to make it all feel worthwhile, although Chung looks amazing.

Re: Australian Open 2018
TOO EASY for Federer. Didn't look back after he stole the first set. Berdbrain not in the same class, Chung likely doesn't have the serve to make things competitive either.

Nadal underwent an MRI on Wednesday in Melbourne, which revealed a Grade 1 injury to his iliopsoas -- or inner hip muscles -- near his right leg. He will take some time off from tennis and focus on physiotherapy.
