Day one review:
Good to see Sam Stosur on the board with a win. Tough ask next against Sabine unfortunately.
Coric pushing fellow countrymen Karlovic to three tight sets. Coric is definitely part of the next generation of stars.
Instomin defeating Anderson is a surprise. Denis is a handy player but Anderson needs to be putting these guys away in round one.
Ana Ivanovic- starting to lose faith in her ability to be a threat now. Bundled out lost to Alexandrova.
The magician man Monfils is out :(
Steve Johnson continues his good form straight sets win over Jaziri.
Witthoeft wins over Begu in two, witthoeft has potential to be a top 20 player I'd say.
Herbert upset win over Kolschreiber and Doi over Chirico.
Muller v Giraldo is stuck at 11-11 in the fifth, play has ceased for the day. This match will resume tomorrow.

Anderson was 2 sets to love up as well. i know he has had an injury hit season, but he has struggled to get any real momentum in his game atm. bad bad result.

I read later that Ana had an inflamed wrist injury suffered 2 weeks ago in Mallorca, and she didn't know if she would play. Alexandrova served well and hit the ball flat from what little I saw. still, probably the biggest upset of the day.

Huge fan of Witthoeft. I thought she might do well, despite her form leading into the tournament. Begu is very beatable outside of clay. I went 2/10 from my tips, my only other winner being Bertens. I can't believe she wasn't fav to beat Ostapenko, despite it being played on grass.

Schminds lost again to Halep. only hit 4 winners in a match which just went over an hour. think I may be stuck with her for a while yet(not complaining)

Can't believe Brengle lost to Nara. Nara hadn't won on the tour(without a retirement) since Indian Wells. Brengle had shown great form leading up as well. Pliskova just survived as well, 8-6 in the 3rd against Wickmayer.

Mug did what I thought she would do. she will be just happy just to get away with the W in what was a tough 1st Round.

You would think seven will show the 2 aussies as thier 2 games. we should hopefully get to see some of the other aussies in action later as well.

oh good. they should be good matches as well. great first rounds. Seven can show Millman and Thompson during and after the "the bad boys" as well. might be an all Aussie night. probably shouldnt turn on the tellie Parker.

did anyone stay up for the whole night? do u reckon they will show Barton as well?

Woz v Kuznetsova will be a good match, worthy of a 3rd round. should be a much better night. hardly any of the womens matches went to 3 sets last night and i missed the 2 long 5 setters in the mens.

Works out perfectly for me, I start work at 5am on Wednesdays so I'm in bed early every Tuesday most weeks. Doesn't matter anyway, I pay attention from have a bet point of view in rounds 1-2 but from the tennis point of view, wake me up in the 3rd round mainly.
 
Arrrgghhh! Too many Aussies on the one night. Also the two I want to watch the most have no coverage, dammit :mad:

I watched until whenever the Groth match finished (around 2am I think), so watched Stosur, Djokovic and Groth. Should not have stayed up that late, very tired today :( Tomorrow I don't have to be up so early but I'll probably be so pooped I'll crash at about 10pm :oops:

Think I heard somewhere today he has only had 3 ATP wins so far this year :O

Hopefully he can turn things around and get back into the top 100

It was painful to watch. Given that Nishikori was hampered by an injury that necessitated calling the trainer twice Groth should have been able to capitalise on that, Nishikori could hardly serve. Instead he played really terribly and his body language was poor too.

They're showing Kyrgios Stepanek right now and then Tomic Verdasco. I assume they will go to some other Aussies after maybe Jordan Thompson.

Probably since Fox has the 2 centre court matches. Maybe they got Caro v. Kuznetsova

betting against Nishikori next then. the injury must be bad then. i even saw he lost his serve to Groth.

Groth is worse than Schminds.

A shocking couple games from Nick. cant win a point atm
 
Ooh Saville won the first set. In another court and Paire does Paire things.
