Australian Open 2017 - Day 4

[LukeParkerno1]

I wish they'd eject all the so called fantatics for being annoying.

No wonder everyone is so happy when the Australians lose- we don't go home with migraines after sitting in the same arena as them!

 

[The City Boyz]

Trying to turn the AO into Wimbledon!

The security on us was unbelievable, we weren't allowed to bring any flags in, we had to exit from a different gate to everyone else, police escorted us to and from the court and made us leave after his match. Baggy had a talk to them about the security for tonight and made them tone it down. Hopefully tonight is a bit better!

Amateur hour at the coin toss!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It's a tough one though. The Greek/Cypriot supporters I've n ver had issues with at least they don't have the ridiculously annoying songs like the fanatics.

However I could understand if people are next they may get headaches from it. There should be a common middle ground though.

What did Smith do this time lol

 

[Drummond]

Garcia takes the second set!!

 

[ChookMFC]

Garcia levels it up and it's 1 set all.

Gasquet dominating Berlocq on Court 2.

Watching Young and Kohlschreiber on Court 7 at the moment.

I think the Greek/Cypriot Australians sitting next to them would find them annoying: They can understand all the Greek swear words they're using!

Yeah, most of our songs don't translate particularly well!
The reason Tsonga got so annoyed at us last year was because he actually speaks Greek!

Dimitrov is down 5-1. What's going on there

It's Dimitrov, he can lose a set easily.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Garcia serving for the match, been a good comeback from her

I sat once in a baghdatis match i didnt mind the crowd and the cheering i can tolerate it but its the obnoxius drunken clowns that yell for the sake of gaining attention that annoys me

Lets just call them..."the fanatics"

The first week is pure torture because of those muppets!

Garcia gets there after a nervy final service game.

You mean from the Baghdatis group?
Edit: Sorry, you mean from the Fanatics..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Garcia wins in 3 sets

6-7, 6-4, 6-4

Really high quality match

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Oh look Dimtrov is up a break in the 2nd...as I said typical Dimitrov to flop a set away. He's like Kyrgios in that regard!

 

[vaughany]

One of the ESPN commentators will come under fire has referred to Venus Williams something along the lines of "she is coming to net and having a gorilla effect"

Hewitt has come under fire as well and rightly so.

Talk about not telling it straight during Kyrgios' loss. Stop offering every excuse in the book, and commentate correctly.

Can confirm the fanatics have their own reserved section within Hisense (not the greatest seats but still ok).
They are egged on by AO and Hisense endorsed media who film the chants.
It also looks like the group now has an admin manager who hands out scripts at the start of the match. These scripts probably features lyrics to the chants and when they should be used.

Baggy is the People's Champion and certain AO security are just wannabe-cops with a powertrip.

The best news is when the Australian loses and I get to laugh at them walking out sad lol. The chants are hopeless too.

There should be a petition to stop them getting special treatment.
