Just an incredibly special night. 👏👍

So lucky to have been there.

What a champion both on and off the court.

WP Did you stay for the doubles?

[Andyy]

I watched most of the first set of the doubles.

Was more entertained than usual. Kok and Kyrgios really play well together and have great chemistry from their long-term friendship I suppose.

As for Kyrgios himself, a knob he may be but there definitely is a showman/entertainer about him. I am conflicted between what I consider poor sportsmanship and good viewership. Sports is always the most interesting when you have the right personalities (think Senna vs Prost for example). Kyrgios is very talented for sure, it really does seem a waste but it's his life I guess. The rest of us can only wish we were born with some of those genetics.

WP Did you stay for the doubles?

Stayed for part of the 1st set

But once the "special K" supporters started yelling some incredibly vile stuff we left.

Not a Krygios fan at all.

Have managed to score tickets for the Women's final tonight after more seats were released 

Where are you sitting WP? I’m taking my daughter and paid a fair bit.

AO are fair though as my ticket never changed price even with the new release. If it had I would have flipped it.

I saw tickets released yesterday for $195 for about 5 mins then it jumped to $320 as the cheapest though I wouldn’t have sit that far away. For others who just want to be there, I thought it was great value and we get the big doubles final after as the added bonus.

We are sitting up the back somewhere riw double J I think it is

We paid $325 for a ticket and they were the cheapest at 7pm last night

Only going to watch the Women's final

Not interested in the doubles final.

Great price well worth it. Was that you with the tigers flag WP? Haha love it

Fair enough we stayed till the end. Captain Cotch also shares the same view, as he also didn’t appear again after the Barty win.

Those double boys have grown on me, which I didn’t think would happen with one of them, and I have enjoyed their progress. On that crowd it was a few drunken losers and Nick called for them
to be kicked out, and they were.

Ash is a champion thats all. It is no coincidence that she is a tiger tragic who happens to be great mates with cotch. Seems like they all speak the same language about connection, team etc

Great night glad we were there.

Same glad we were there. It will become one of "I was there moments"

Ben Crowe is also another link to the RFC. Ash uses him and he's heavily involved at the RFC with our leadership program

Re the men's doubles; it was more than a few drunken losers. As I posted before some of the comments yelled out were vile.

And although Nick called it out (obviously in the 2nd set) neither he or Thanasi did anything about it in the first or in their earlier matches. They actually encouraged someone the boorish behaviour. I get that they will say they didn't but by doing nothing they encouraged it. But congratulations to them on winning

But they don't come remotely close the class of Ash Barty. What a champion she is

Well worth every cent. The way I see it we have hardly been out the last few years, so what better way to splash out.

Bloody legend she is, and she stands alone at the moment.

On a sour note did you see the clown bagging her for having a beer?

This coming from someone who didn’t have a beer in the lead up? That clowns comment is what is wrong with society these days. Knocking a legend is as low as you get.

Novak Djokovic reportedly getting vaccinated after deportation.

Great career Ash Barty. What a champion.

Didn’t realise it at the time, though now I’m even more glad I forked out the cash to watch her last ever match with my kid.

Ditto Frankie

Makes being there that night all the more special

Nick K through to the quarters. Great effort on and off the court.

Last 3 minutes was pretty funny.

[Damo]

Through to the semis now is Nick
And got to say, the post match interview after the quarters was without doubt his most mature moment in front of the media

[Andyy]

Through to the final now with Nadal pulling out due to abdominal injury.

Will be very interesting TBH.

Only had a 3 set win two days ago so he will also be going into the final with additional rest.

[WilliamPowell]

Novaxx won

Nick lost

Who cares?
