re: Official 2012 Australian Open Thread

Another bp.

Is the reason they play these later round matches to get out of the sun/head of the day? Because these matches have been ending around midnight local time pretty frequently.

WOW huge break. Serving for championship now, he did what he couldn't do in the 4th set.

shite

Just

Got

Real

frick!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think just rating in Australia. The match used to be at 2:00 p.m. Melbourne, 10:00 p.m. Saturday night New York time, which was usually better, except when the match goes five hours.

This actually reminds me of some of the past Fed-Rafa matches where Fed just couldn't ever get over the hump. He'd have plenty of break point chances but Rafa would always save them and win in the end. FML, Djok has got Rafa the way Rafa has Fed.

Tournament boys. Good job No-Joke.

I think that would be better. As is no one in America really wakes up that early to catch these matches, and no east coast/central time zones really stay up late enough. If they played them earlier the local Aussies would all still be able to watch the weekend matches and the US population would be able to watch them as well.
