Bright future of Australian Tennis ... Finnaly

[tbagrocks]

Ok so last year I started the Tomic thread, he's still a flog but. How good do these three look!

Ash Barty 16yrs wow, what a ripper (Serena Williams "She's so cute") With the fighting spirit of a warrior and the biggest talent we've seen of a female in this country in my life time

Nick Kyrgios 18yrs, huge and I mean huge serve, also beat a vet in two tie breakers, that is something special!

Thanasi Kokkinakis 17yrs, seems even more gifted than the older lad, also showing unreal mental strength in tie breakers for a 17 year old kid

The one thing I take from the past 24 hours is, these kids have the true Aussie fight! What is missing from Bernie

Ok so the first poll will be comparing the big shots of the two boys

Barty is a gem though, hopefully can develop several key aspects of her game in the next few years (i.e. her looks)

 ^^^ true bogan style again ::)

Kokki and Kyrgios will both be better than Tomic.

Agree Noz - Reckon Krygios could beat Tomic atm if he plays like he did today.

[Noz]

Kokki will be playing Nadal next round

Whilst Krygios has a easier 2nd round with a match against Paire.

Be good to see both of these kids in action again.

[tbagrocks]

Kokky all day in the sun, the Spaniard gets the easiest match of the comp facing only one set in the shade

Re- Serena v Barty, take it on like the young lass did kid! Chance of a life time! Get as much out of it as Ashy did

[Noz]

Hopefully Kokky can win a couple of games and not go out with a trio of donuts.

How are they not Australian??  Please explain.

Really like the look of Kokki, he's got some great looking shots on him and at only 17 I think he will be our next big thing.

Haven't seen much of Krygios though so can't comment on him!

[CrowsFan]

For those who don't remember Kokky and Krygios played in the Aus Open Junior final last year with Krygios winning that. Nice to see them getting a shot in the mens open this year, and doing well :)

Bigger fan of Kyrgios than Thanasi. Just really liked the look of him today.

Ash Barty is going to be a superstar though.

Any thoughts on young James Duckworth ?  Bit older than them (21) but looks to have some potential.

Not such a fan of him.

I like Ebden as well.
