that's melbourne time. so everyone else other than melbourne and sydney are still in delay. everyone else will still have to wait for the worst show on tv to finish before the tennis comes back on. so really it's still a shit deal

Apparently Serbia won France as a result of beating them in the Davis Cup. More Joanna Griggs gold

It perpetually amazes me how often she puts her foot in her mouth when all she's doing is the intro and throwing to a few matches.

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

Who remembers when Jim Courier was in love with her? Was possibly about 5 years ago now. I remember one time she was finishing off something and he stuck his face next to hers and she hadn't finished saying what ever she had to say. Funny times.

I don't know if anyone has heard of this little known fact but apparently the serbs all shaved their heads after winning the davis cup

I was taking the piss

Channel 7 have given the fact an absolute flogging whenever Djokovic has been involved in a game.

 

[Lazarus]

Oh right sorry, tbh I hadn't heard it before

They're going to show the Molik match in it's entirety delayed. It's already ****ing finished. Coverage has officially hit all time lows.

 

[BobbyMorri]

To be fair to them, Fox cant show Centre Court(someone can correct me if im wrong here), and they made the right decision to continue with the Tomic match. If u didnt have the net, or tried to find out any of the results, u wouldnt know about the result, and if you a Molik fan, would want to watch how she went. A replay is the only way to showcase this. Only Tsonga is on court atm that normal Aussies would be interested.

They should say its a replay though.

Roddick's Tweet:

"why is channel 7 showing a womens match that australianopen.org says has already been completed when there is live tennis all around?

- Andy Roddick at 11:57:23 pm ET Jan 19th. "

Stupid channel 7, embarrassing programming. Could be showing the Tsonga match or even Cilic.

 

[pepsi]

haha that is awesome.

 

[matt_897]

I'm watching ESPN2 from the States, better coverage from them anyway, unless there is an aussie playing live on Seven then I watch ESPN2

 

[OzBomber]

There's been no mention of the Tsonga match and I think we know why...

Leconti ?

It's probably best that they unleash their secret weapon in the second week of the tournament..... sniper..... BOOM

Is there any particular reason why the scoreboard doesn't always update the points? Watching the first set of Stosur's game tonight (before saying '**** this' and checking the result online), at one point they were saying it was 15-0 for about 5 minutes before it flashed up to 40-30.

 

[XFactor1979]

yeh! SUCKED IN CHANNEL 7! You have pretty much run out of token Australian players to shove down our throats by the end of day 4 of the tournament

I think there's a problem with the scoreboard in RLA. Yesterday I noticed the scoreboard was 2 points behind on about 3 occasions. I'm thinking they might be linked.

i heard "aussie" kim clijsters the other day and sighed

shes actually dutch belgian, but they can keep digging

Hewitt was a good commentator.

 

[Kaan]

He was, but kept talking during points.

 

[Shell]

This.

I was watching a movie (just got back from actually going to the Open all day- needed a break from tennis lol). Everytime i switched over and saw some points, Hewitt was talking thru everyone of them. The day that moron commentates on tennis is the day i stop watching.

Oh yeah and the first point i saw he talked about himself.

 

[Caesar]

To be fair, half the reason they have current players on as guest commentators is to talk about themselves and their experiences on tour.

Pretty good for a first crack I thought. I'm sure someone will have a quiet word in his shell-like about the etiquette of talking through points and he'll be fine. Definitely wouldn't mind him commentating fulltime when he retires.... Courier + Hewitt far superior to Courier + JA, that's for sure.
