11:47pm-4:33am that match ran. Still not as good as Isner v Mahut.

Ebden through in five.

Stop switching 7, my fucking god.

I like Tennis and all, but trying to watch match on channel 7 is pointless when they switch matches like a monkey with ADD has control of the remote.

Foxsports

But next point to make

They would show the Australian player in contention and when they are a double break down in the fifth set they switch.

Funny that

Australians don't lose, they just get forgotten about.

Even though he has a lot of fans (and he shares the same birthday as me) I would challenge "encyclopedia" Bruce Mcaveney his knowledge of rugby league north of the border

He was born in adelaide, so im assuming very little

Now, wheres mr afl?

Lose is such a harsh word, how about the diplomatic term 'didnt win?'

Goodness knows kevin rudd used that in his concession speech- the loser :lol:

Anyway there's a book out there released recently called Barracuda by Christos Tsiolkas (his follow up to The Slap), it goes into uncharted (or even dark) territory to what happens to athletes when they lose and are forgotten about. Especially to those with a 'win at all costs' mentality

Absolutely hate him as commentator, he speaks as though sport has some kind of superstitious force behind it. Just call the effing game.

As I said before, I share a birthday with him

Having said that im not superstitious

It boggles the mind that the Aus Open can allow Serena Williams, someone who is frankly more manly than Andy Murray, play against a 17 year old girl.

Yeh, and its termed 'entertainment' to watch a 17 year old girl get crushed like an insignificant insect by the man

He should take on someone his own size- Caster Semenya!

Hewitt and Rafter = <3

-PB

And for the love of Odin can Channel 7 PLEASE stop showing close-ups of Williams' gargantuan arse? It's bad enough that it takes up half the court from a landscape shot, we don't need to see it up close.

I was just about to post about Sarena's booty:cool:

"he looked gawn at one point"

fucking repeats.

its interesting to see Sam Groth do the Kia car ad

It seems like it will be the only career highlight for him

Other than marrying Jarmila Gadijsova

Drew Morphett just labelled James duckworth the Mitchell Johnson of men's tennis

Too bad Mitchell Johnson is getting dismantled by Roger Federer today

Wow what a game by Matosevic and Nishikori.

Hewitt vs Seppi

2 baseline rally specialists

Expect a 4 hour + match one would assume?

Surely Lleyton Hewitt can summon something being down a couple of sets

He tends to thrive when its backs to the wall scenario for him?

Bosnian Australian Marinko Matosevic has the unenviable record of not winning a single grand slam match in his career to date

0 wins - 12 losses

Hopefully Hewitt can get back into this.

Have to say Matosevic has the potential to be quite a good player but mentally he's just all over the place.

He could face censure

hewitt comeback.

Well he's not dead yet. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

C'mon Hewitt

Kyrgios made it through

Storm Sanders was up 4 games to 2 in the final set before going down, but just to point out, her coach is Nicole Pratt, and Nicole Pratt is expecting twins...

Nicole Pratt is going to have kids?

In other news, Dancevic and a ball boy fainted in the mid 40 degree heat

EDIT - oh shit, grandstand digital what are you doing to me?

Edited by condemned666: 14/1/2014 06:25:37 PM

2 sets all!

Looks like Tomic and Nadal wont be starting on time (7pm)
