And it's great that young stars rise in their moment:

Congratulations to 20 year-old Petra Marčinko (from Zagreb) on winning her first Grand Slam match Monday in Melbourne!
Marčinko took down German Tatjana Maria in straight sets at the Australian Open: 6-3, 7-5. Next up in the 2nd round: American Peyton Stearns

Poor bustards. Feel sorry for them. Tough life

It is if you're not ranked in the top 100 and regularly playing in grand slams.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Damn. That's even worse.

 

[upthetigers]

Damn. That's even worse.

Look at Australia's Destanee Aiava. Never been ranked in top 100. Has amassed $1,317,680 over a 10 year career. That's nothing when you have to pay coaches and travel the world. Whilst the top players are making millions, the majority are barely surviving. It's a dog eat dog world. Life is a battle.

Please Don't even start on us civilians.

Please Don't even start on us civilians.

Level up in life or get left behind.

You mean stop talking about them? And getting real. You mean stop sensationalising them and beginning to understand your role in the short time you have on the planet

For the second time in tournament history (after yesterday), over 100,000 fans have attended a day at the Australian Open.

Brutal loss for

Alexei Popyrin

Goes down in a super tiebreak fifth set to

Alexandre Muller.

Alex led 5-2 in the 4th set tiebreak, served for the match up 5-3 in the fifth set, and was on the edge of the second round - and now extends his losing streak to 8 matches.

took the $15 Djokovic
Took the $3 Sabalenka

looking at taking
Seattle Seahawks to win superbowl $2.50
France to win Six Nations $1.75
Double $2.10

Disappointing first round loss for Maya, you can see the potential she has though!

Idk mate, the new gen have taken over, as good as Djokovic is. Sinner is essentially Djokovic 2.0 and youth trumps older legs.

I hope Sabalenka doesn't win, she is not a good sport. Always blames her performances instead of giving credit to her opponent.

sabalenka $3 she is a great price
Djokovic at $15 was just a throw at stumps really, he will have to beat Siner in semis

Aussie Dane Sweeny is literally doing a Monfils on Monfils - diving and sliding all over the court some unbelievable plays. Very entertaining match to watch.
