Buckle up possums, it’s the Australian Open!

New thread.

Yes, this looks like being a good match. The mascots who walked out with them both were super cute and looked delighted.

If the other Umpire has had a heart attack, then no, he really shouldn't be picking petty fights with Daniil. Won't do him any good.

Oops. Bit of a slip for Stef.

And of course there's the added bonus of smooth voiced Kader Nouni.

'lurve'.

What's all the shouting about? I thought they were protesting about something!

Tiiiiime

There just seems to be a lot of noise around the stadium- an no-one seems to stop it .

Danill could still be complaining, loudly, maybe.

I love the thought of Danill wandering around the grounds shouting about the injustices against him

New coach 😍

If Heineken made tennis matches...

Or was it Carlsberg?

Oh me too.

I love this umpire's voice

This is a good match - I missed the Meddy meltdown

Are Matteo's shirts getting shorter or have his legs grown? (I was thinking this the last time I watched him play - I'm not complaining )

I meant Matteo's shorts not shirts!

Fizzy The Meddy meltdown was entertaining, but also a bit sad, because really he should have won the set/match. He can be his own worst enemy.

Matteo's shorts so seem shorter, and kind of tapered iykwim? Not flappy anyway. Must be his thighs.

Great shot Stef!

Don't bother Dimitris he won't appreciate it

Oh, Matteo is getting a bit vocal now.

Just tuned into Matteo vs Stef. I haven’t seen any tennis this week so just catching up on things. Can’t believe all the food poisoning in Mexico, it must have been the players buffet!

Ooh

The yelling helped Matteo then.

I'm going to have to switch to score watching. Why does it have to be on now?!

Sorry 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well that was a quick set.

I know- I'm a bit invested in Eastenders at the moment, I need to switch over for that!
