I was sort of hoping that they might jump into the 5th set live just then but no, of course not.

Truly incompetant.

Haha. They've been pumping up the Hewitt/Marcos game all day, which is good, because it will be the biggest audience. But then they decide to show the Federer/Tip game on delay?!

So realistically, the Hewitt/Marcos game won't start on TV in the east until close to 10 o'clock, depending on how long the Federer and Williams games go for?

Haha. Some chop at Channel 7 will be out of a job.
 
I remember the terrible coverage that Seven provided in the last Winter Olympics, not even showing an event live where an Australian had a very good chance for a rare Australian gold medal in a Winter Olympics, of course the Australian then ended up winning the Gold Medal. Probalby do the same with the Summer Olympics this year and make a glorified highlights package even though the Olympics will be during when we are awake.

No doubt Channel 7 is the worst channel on Free-To-Air and Cable television in Australia when it comes to sports coverage.

venus games been moved and feds just about to break janko so a 9:10 start for the bagdatits vs hewitt game is a reality. :)

I agree - but how can the consistently make these decisions? It's farcical.

What happened to this....? Has the Venus/Mirza match been officially moved or what?

I didn't think Williams-Mirza was moving from centre court? I think we'll continue to have two more matches on RLA .. but Hewitt-Baghdatis won't start until very late in the night.

I think they have a curfew rule, though. Under this, I think it's at the tournament referee's discretion as to whether or not they begin a new match after 11pm. (Something like that, anyway.) So this could well be used for Hewitt-Baghdatis tonight.

Well here in Adelaide they are showing slow-mo shots of tennis players even though the Williams-Mirza match is currently being played. :rolleyes:

Are those clowns seriously going to show the Hewitt Bagdahtis match delayed even though its going to start at some crazy time.
 
It'll be very unlikely it's on delay.

They need Hewitt-Baghdatis to be live, if it's played, tonight. So they have to play Williams-Mirza live as well.

WTF is this shit they've got on now with the singing.

I reckon they are trying to work out what to do and putting some filler on.

Hate to be the 7 switchboard operator tonight.
 
Ch 7 are showing Super Slo Mo and talking about the Fed Ex game. Looks like they caught up in the Federer game pretty well and are going to show us the rest of the tennis live. Credit to 7 in hindsight, showing the full game was a good decision. Although showing Heartbeat was an abysmal decision.

Venus is walking out on RLA to toss the coin. 7 are showing it live.
 
How FK hard is it to just miss the first few games and get into the match live, seriously probalby most people wont be that distressed that they have missed some of the Venus Mirza game.

EDIT: So its live? I thought it had already started.

EDIT: Hmm live scoreboard says 0 0 so looks like it may indeed be live, thank you 7 for once.
