Why is ESPN2 not showing Joker and instead ESPN+? This has happened a few times this week. Wtf.

Agreed. Just give us the local or BBC commentary.
That's on ESPN+
I actually like the ESPN commentary teams, but it's just so dumb that they didn't send anyone over. One of the worst things COVID did for sports tv was that the big networks realized people will still tune in regardless of where their broadcasters are calling the games/matches from, so naturally they choose the cost-cutting move going forward. It's still a passable product, but there are little things, such as the delay between the commentary team and the courtside reporter, that are annoying.

Would have felt a lot more comfortable consolidating that break.
If Tommy wins, is this the first time since the 2005 US Open that there would be 3 American men in the quarters?

I'm shocked it's been that recent.
Figured it would've been like the late 90's.

Michael Chang had the greatest tennis sneakers of all time. The Victory Reebok Pumps.

I was kinda half-arse researching it last night thinking maybe Querrey, Isner, and Sock had done it at some point but I stopped looking around 2011.

Wow Paul shot.
And again.
And again.

Good Lord. Roberto B-A could not be looking any older moving around the court.

Can't seem to figure out why Bautista looks sluggish. He played a 5-setter with Holt but it was only 3.5 hours. The Murray match was 4 sets and 3.5 hours but indoors at night.
There have been some long rallies in this match but it's not brutally hot or anything.
Wow Paul missed a sitter volley and it's set point.

That missed volley was so brutal.

He's walking around like I do when I decide to work out for the first time in months and then have to move around the office the next day.

Even his fist pump when he won the set looked like a struggle.

Anybody betting the Games or Set markets LIVE?
It's pretty fun in match like this where there are some breaks.

It was the one Ginepri came from nowhere to sneak in, and then Blake and Agassi as well.
Need Paul to win obviously, but this would be a huge success especially considering the age of these guys.

Wait, I just did a little research and it looks like he’s dating Anna Hall? What a freaking athletic couple that is. Goodness.

I generally don't but there might be one or two guys in the betting thread that do sometimes.
I must be doing something wrong... can't even find Joker match on ESPN+

I don't bet more than a few bucks on it. Just a fun way to keep track if my instinct is right when I think momentum is turning (and I am usually wrong).

ESPN isn’t showing djoker. What a joke this coverage has been.

ESPN has the domestic rights to the Australian Open until 2031. However, they are producing the event like it is in the last year of a contract before heading to a rival.
Atrocious coverage.
