  • I don't know about you, but I am really enjoying this Kerber v Sharapova clash. Ultra competitive, great hitting, a dogfight.
  • Today the role of Angelique Kerber will be played by Novak Djokovic: Keeping an erratic opponent under constant, smothering pressure, staying clever and cool, and making almost no mistakes.
  • Kerber's ability to attack down the lines in so crucial.
  • I hope Serena tweets something congratulatory & yet vaguely menacing to Kerber. 'Enjoy it' with a heavy subtext of 'while it lasts'.

  • The most suicidal of suicide leaves from Kerber! It's one set all! I AM LITERALLY SO EXCITED I CAN'T STOP SHOUTING!

  • I always have this half sense that the Australian Open might have been a dream due to the timezone and this Kerber thing isn't helping.
  • The problem for Pliskova is that she hasn't played an opponent remotely like Kerber since ... Kerber.
  • Kerber in full-on sarcastic sulk mode despite having won the first set is fairly peak pre-2016 Angie.
  • Whenever I watch Kerber I find myself trying to engage my abs (until I remember I don't know how and give up).
  • I mean ... who knew Cilic had a sarcastic smile that chills the blood as effectively as Angelique Kerber's.
  • Unconfirmed reports coming in that it is not, after all, Angelique Kerber's fucking time.
  • It was going to take a truly dreadful performance from Zverev in this mixed to drag Kerber down on the form she's been in, but so far he's up to the challenge.
  • Kerber looks about as energized as I feel, and I would literally sell your children for a nap right now.
  • Angie is not here for your moonball attempt, Simona.
  • Wag that finger, Angie Kerber.
  • "You're playing Daria Kasatkina next, how much do you know about her?"

  • Y'know when Kerber starts leaning into her groundstrokes and really hits them, it's quite the sight.
    • Fissette: "So what, third set"

  • “You know how some people look ‘gym fit’? Angie looks like she spent the off-season clearing forests in frozen Poland.” - me earlier today.
    • 2016 Angie Kerber would never have said I LOVE YOU BACK to random fan yelling in the crowd.

  • Angie so mad Wim can’t get a word in. PO’d Angie is still low-key my fave thing.
  • Honestly I want to see Chung and Kerber on leg day.
  • “It’s bloody hard to do it. It’s nerve-racking and it’s stressful and it’s out-of-this-world different, and she’s already won two and won here and she’s playing great. She’s nails right now. She’s 2016 all over again.”
