Less Australians helps there less rubbish about those players who got flogged as usual.

RLA is currently packed to the rafters, I have not seen a stadium so full since the recent SCG test match (borderline empty) or a Melbourne Demons home game!

Yes, i cant wait for this match.

Some great match ups on today. Nadal-Zverev and Dimitrov-Gasquet should be great, long matches. I enjoy watching both Thiem and Paire so that should be an interesting match up. Tonight should be the first Monfils match that channel 7 broadcast so I'm looking forward to watching him as well. Plus the little pocket rocket Dasha Gavrilova is playing

 

[ChookMFC]

Ekaterina Makerova is destroying Dominika Cibulkova right now. It's quite a sight to see really.

 

[danstar]

Its good to see some legends doubles if u havent watched it watch it so funny, im at the tennis today and that was my first stop to see the mcenroes

On the whole I hate this stuff, especially when they just muck around. I like a fair dinkum tennis match.

Definitely one to avoid for me!

Me too, I'd rather watch a real tennis match which is why I'm not a fan of fast 4 tennis

 

[Aussie_boy]

These linesmen are hopeless, they somehow manage to get worse every year.

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Cibulkova will probably still win this.

 

[danstar]

I'll take that. I just hope boring Murray isn't on RLA.
