No such luck. They have it as not before 7 pm there, which is 3 am eastern here. I think Nick just likes that court for whatever reason.



Yea, I got that all wrong, for some reason I thought I had seen it scheduled as an early match that I would get to watch live. Not at all.

I mean, how close to pure theater can you get to Kyrgios spends a whole match bitching about the let sensor, and then ends up knocking the dang thing off the net in the 5th set? (Something I had never seen before)

I will probably put some money on Fucsovics at +440 against Raonic.

FYI... may not matter but he played back to back 5-setters

For some reason, I am watching Errani v Hsieh. Apparently, the Victorian governor or prime minister or whatever is going to a stage 4 lockdown at midnight. I guess this means you're really not supposed to be going out of your house other than to buy necessary things. There will probably be no more spectators for the tennis.

The woman kicked out of Rod Laver Arena for abusing Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open on Thursday night says she doesn't regret her actions.

The spectator caused absolute chaos during Nadal's win over Michael Mmoh when she yelled out abuse and was seen flipping the middle finger at the World No.2.

The woman reportedly yelled "hurry up you OCD f***", shocking fellow fans and Nadal alike.

She was eventually escorted from Rod Laver Arena by security guards and kicked out of Melbourne Park.

Yeah, that's a woman after my own heart. I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier in his career. Sometimes when I look back at old matches I am shocked at how quickly they move to the next point. No minute long towel offs and other rituals.

I’ve come to respect Nadal but his OCD mannerisms have always driven me nuts. His wedgie pick has always been an a-hole move to me.

Pun kinda intended.

They just said today is the last day of fans.

That fricking sucks.

ETA: No fans until at least next Thursday.

Over then right before nadal was about to serve you here a big “WANKER!”!

Getting off work at 3:30am just in time for Fritz and Joker

Who dressed Raonic before he left the hotel this morning?

Kind of nuts that Raonic is 30 now.

Doesn't seem like that long ago that he was the young gun.

It's crazy how many generations Fed/Nadal/Novak have just made disappear.
