There are 2 contests out there tonight. The tennis, and wearing that dress.

At the moment Coco is losing both of them.

Don't know what's happened to tennis outfits lately, the design and colour combinations are average now.

Adidas used have nicer outfits, I'm over the fluoro tops

Had a quick look I see Brisbane gets a mention but can't see fees for Hopman

Clash of the matching blue dresses on the blue court ain't an ideal setup tonight lol

Dasha's looking good tonight... in a couple of ways!

I find the women's ones don't seem very flattering these days. Also over flouro, especially with black, just horrible.

Nothing about Hopman but the players must get some appearance fees?


This article suggests that Federer received some money

I wish the Hopman Cup wasn't so late. Really want to watch the rest of this Dasha match but it's past my bedtime

Has anyone pulled out of this tournament yet? The last few years haven't been kind. It wouldn't surprise me to see Ebden play instead of Kyrgios tomorrow night.

I was half right, I am surprised Nick played the singles. I think Nick prefers the exhibitions to the ATP events, he struggles with his concentration to play through a tournament.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

MRI on Kyrgios' knee not particularly positive according to his presser, although despite knowing a little about medical imaging I don't know how to translate "some bone stuff" (his words) into English.

 

[Andronicus]

Coco doesn't seem too bright.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Shame for Nick, he's sort of the only half likeable male player that is half a chance that we have.

Yep and as long as he keeps getting invited to these exho's he'll keep RSVPing with a yes. He's already done a 180 on Rotterdam for some NBA All-Star "Celebrity" game.

Nick definitely loves the attention

 

[JamisonRun40]

Really happy that Australia didn't play at Hopman Cup, Nk annoys the crap out of me. I watched his presser last night and he doesn't give a damn. He had all that time off and didn't hit the gym or do anything to get himself into better shape for the upcoming year. I wished we had someone like Sasha Zevera (sp!) who seems to be a bit more mature and puts in the hard yards. Again NK doesn't seem the slightest bit interest in getting assistance from anybody.

LOL at Bencic showing her true colours.

Itll just be some type of exostosis which is pretty much early onset of arthritic change in the knee- which can cause inflammation at the knee joint. Very very common and will just have to be managed over time through rest, icing, anti inflams and strengthening of musculature around the knee. Can get progressively worse over which itll then require fairly staightforward surgery to remove the 'bone stuff' (exostosis). He'll be right, just wear and tear from being a sportsman.

Basil. Never stop the cringe. Never change.
