Pretty good line-up. Does Australia get an automatic #1 seed or something? They always seem to jag the weaker group.

My money is on USA def. Germany in the final.

Great line up and it is scary to think it starts in 19 days!

Everyone wants to see Federer

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Not that enthusiastic about this tbh, don't really like exhibition stuff, especially when they start fooling around. I like my tennis straight

Yeah i think the other problem is by about Wednesday, players are pulling out all over the place and so you don't get to even see the best play.

I dont know how much they paid for Fed but whatever it was; it was money well spent.

that selfie and his media work sold itself. He is doing another open training session tonight as well. You cant buy that.

 

[JackNah_8]

Also, great publicity for Perth.

Yep he always does stuff like that. Was holding a koala a couple of years ago I remember (in Brissie). Agree, good for him and good for Australia. Does Roger just about have the perfect life? Set up amazingly financially, great family, gets on well with the media etc. Just plays as much tennis as he wants to. Lives in Switzerland. Seems to enjoy travelling. Rarely injured... the list goes on.

trying to buy tickets for today but everything's saying 'please note this seat has an obstructed view'?!

what do they mean?! obstructed by what?

sounds pretty shit

 

[Carl Hooper]

also my first time watching tennis live, im assuming it's better to be behind the baseline facing the same way as the players?

Usually hand rails.

Usually hand rails.

hmm, I see.. that's not too bad.
but only tickets available are right up high and i think it'll not be worth going live if its that hard to see

damn i shoulda got onto this earlier smh

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Usually hand rails.

We bought tickets for Hisense a few years ago and they were partially obstructed by the hand trails but we were not told this when we purchased them, were pretty annoyed. And they were very high up too. Have only bought ground passes since then.

Yes. Unless you enjoy moving your head from side to side.
