Tennis - waiting for Australian Open

[magimedi]

And longing for lots of chat!!

That’s nice news about Wozniaka

Ooh topless Rafa - always a bonus

That match seemed to last a long time in spite of the score line

Love the interview- did they let the woman back in then?

I see Norrie has just won.

Bugger and damn Melbourne now in total lockdown for next 5 days. Tennis to continue with no audience.

Ah no so sorry to hear this Startup - just been reading about it all. Take care of yourself.
They're just saying on 5 live the crowds there tonight will have to leave to be home before lockdown starts at midnight.

I'm switching between Raonic-Fucsovics and the Schwartzman match. Fucsovics seem to have a fan club there

Diego is looking like he's about to go out though...

What happened to PCB does anyone know? I saw he retired from his match v Grigor.

I’ve just seen that on our news Startup what a nightmare but hope you all manage to stay safe and lockdown stops the spread

I wouldn’t want Craig Tiley’s job - I’m sure there’ll be some criticism about the AO still going ahead

When I read the news, I thought of you, Startup. Sorry you'll miss it.

I think there will be more than 'some' criticism about the AO going ahead, a great deal of flak will be heading Craig's way.

Yes there is a lot to process. 5 days is nothing, just brings back all the dread from the awfulness of last year.

Lockdown starts at midnight so all the people at the tennis tonight will have to rush off to catch their trains like Cinderella and her pumpkin.

Startup I saw the news, and thought of you and Saturday- rubbish timing!

It was always a massive risk, continuing with the Open. No fans will be pants- but that's how the US open was, I suppose.

Last day of half term- I am very much looking forward to not having to worry about homeschooling next week. And being able to watch the tennis in peace!

Watching Domi and Kyrgios. Looks like Nick has come into this match realising he can't go at it an a half arsed manner, like he did the other day and nearly lost. He is definitely a player that has very little respect for his opponents.

I wonder if they have contingency for fake crowd noise?

Domi seems really rattled- it might have been better for him playing to no-one, than with a whole Aussie crowd against him.

Doing much better now.

Now Nick is the one doing all the muttering (not much change there).

ooh- I looked at the scores on the Djok/Fritz match- last time I looked he was 5-2 up in the set. Now it's 5-5. Come on Taylor! At least give a bit of a match.

Felix AA has beaten Shapo in straight sets- big win for him.

2 sets all- well done Dom.

What's he moaning at now?

Nick, that is- obviously.

So pleased for Felix AA.

Really enjoying this Thiem v Kyrgios match. DS was fascinated that Kyrgios was drinking Pepsi at the change of ends

I'm just glad Domi pulled it back!
At least Dom isn't drinking red bull .

What a shot on match point

Brilliant stuff.
Very glad he got through that.

Great win for Domi but I thought Kyrgios was brilliant, when he plays like that - love it

Oh it's Jim - first time I've seen him do the on court interview this year.

I see Rafa's got the RLA night match tomorrow. I really want to see Lopez v Rublev as well....

Private that's why he is frustrating, I don't like his annoying antics, but he can obviously play- and half the time chooses not to. At least not properly.

Will be odd tomorrow with no crowds.
