Hello Hamish

Hello Hamish

thank **** c7 made the change to todd woodbridge last year when Hamish mclachlan was commentating all the mens matches in the first week post macavaney. that first week in 2017 must have been a nightmare for jim courier. mclachlan seems to have been relegated to studio host which is fine by me.

basil zemplas seems to be a bit of a ****wit too though. he made some quip the other day along the lines of 'like sandgren in an hour' along the lines of 'like sands in an hourglass'. just **** off.....how do you lot listen to these ****wits throughout an entire AFL season?

..how do you lot listen to these *******s throughout an entire AFL season?

We are forced to, just like the tennis.

I think Chung's amazing run will come to an end tonight.

Has anyone been following the men's doubles? So many seeds top seeds knocked out (Kubot/Melo, Peers/Kontinen, Rojer/Tecau, Herbert/Mahu,Murray/Soares, Bryan/Bryan etc.) and teams like Groth and Hewitt making it to the quarters The final will be played between the 7th and 11th seeds, Marach/Pavic and Cabal/Farah.

Hell the same thing happened last year- Murray and Soares were the defending champs and got ko'ed first round

Polmans & Whittington managed to get to the semis by beating #1 Herbert/Mahut
The Gooch & Groth made it to the quarters
Carreno Busta and Garcia Lopez were unseeded and got to the semis

Though the final was 3rd vs 4th

Fed ex to win in 3 sets in 90 mins tonight

Yes, there are always a few surprises, but Kontinen and Peers winning last year was not an unrealistic expectation going into the tournament. Just feels like a lot of well known combos knocked out this year.

Mladenovic can't win a singles match but she can win another doubles Grand Slam

 

[pepsi]

Well Kiki mladenovic has just won the women's doubles title with babos, despite her being on an about 15 match losing streak in singles. Maybe this will turn her singles form around.

Roof shut tonight?

Aussie KIA Motors guy instead of the head honcho from Kia Asia doing the doubles presentation.

Interesting to note Giian Rooney is doing the trophy presentation.... hopefully this means no Basil/Hamish

They'll be incredibly reactionary as per usual and not close it until the rain hits

6-3 6-3 6-1

Fed to barely break a sweat.

 

[Xtreme]

If Fed doesn't bagel Aussie Chung. He must be coming down with a cold!!

Started to rain as the presentation finished.

Rain coming down during the presentation

 

[pepsi]

I'm just next to rod laver and there is minimal to no drizzle. The random drop.

 

[Lotus]

Hyeon Chung for me. Hwating Hyeony .

 

[Gigantic]

I'm all aboard the Chung train. Choo choo

 

[Lethality]

If they shut the roof, advantage Federer

 

[pepsi]

Think the physical aspect of best of 5 hit Chung in the last match. Bit worried physically he might be spent. We'll see.

Todd Woodbridges son singing the anthem


At least it wasn't Hamish lol

 

[SSSSSS]

Pretty sure Meatloaf would have done a better job than that.

 

[Xtreme]

He's a young Chung now he was a younger Chung then...... OH HAMISH!
