@DjokovicFan_@gmontero84w No question he wins this match. But not a shoe in vs Thiem. Lost 5 of 7 vs Thiem during the period, worse record in BO5 in that stretch. Had to come back and win in 5 at AO where he plays better than NYC. Don't disrespect Thiem who was motivated for that slam

Aryna Sabalenka on the umpire calling a hindrance on her during her match against Elina Svitolina at Australian Open
“That’s actually never happened to me. Especially with my grunting. It’s so off I think.”
“I was like ‘What? What is wrong with you?’ I think it was the wrong call. She really pissed me off. It actually helped me and benefited my game.”
(via Australian Open Press)
So likely Tennis Australia has provided Novak's data to other bigger Federations like Italy and Jannik will get a unfair advantage as the team can review more data. #NoleFam@pavyg
“I find it unfair that Tennis Australia can trade that data with USTA/LTA so that those federations can have access to more data than someone from outside of those federations.”

Jannik Sinner on Coco Gauff smashing her racquet after her loss to Svitolina at Australian Open:
“It can happen, no? We are athletes… we invest our whole lives to be the best version of ourselves. But sometimes losses hurt. I understand the frustration as a player. She gives everything on the court. She never says a word out of place… she’s a good girl.”

@willahmed@WHOOP Tennis Australia has said no athlete can attempt to get around it in this manner and could be defaulted. The only data a player is entitled to from their match must be paid for as part of this process:

@jessicaschiffer From a coach of a top 20 ATP Player - "what is provided on the Tennis Australia Tablet is horribly inaccurate for load and movement and insufficient for an elite athlete". "To get the full data post match it costs us $500 per match, its not right"
