TENNIS: Strewth, it's time for the Australian Open!

[IceandIndigo]

New thread.

The umpire was a bit optimistic about the 'passing shower'.

Looks like a swimming pool already!

Dj is up and running.

They could do a water slide, like they did in Kitzbuhel.

That was great.

I was thinking about that the other day

That was a fun day. I can't believe I spent hours watching a screen where no tennis was played- but lots of spectators were watching others messing about in the rain.

And no tennis got played all day. But the music was good

Looks like they are warming up again on the outside courts.

Will they spend ages mopping up the lines with towels?

Funnily enough- one of the TNT red button channels is showing Skiing- in Kitzbuhel

My son is there ! Looks very wet …crazy Melbourne weather!

Hopefully play is underway again now. It is crazy how quickly the weather changes.

Towels are out!

Come on Jasmine!

Come on Karo!

Well done Karo. Not an easy match, that.

First set Jasmine.

Noisy bunch on the Kia Arena- think they all went to the pub during the rain delay.

I like Karolina Ice she always seems to up her game in the big events.

oof- rain is back.

She's one of my favourite players on the women's tour Raahh. She's just had such bad luck with injuries.

Sweet Caroline!! Noooo!

I have switched over to Big Foe, whilst Jasmine's match is rained off.

I'm not keen on his kit. Strange splodges. I suppose it's an inoffensive colour.

Jannik is still leading 'worst kit' on the men's side.

I was just watching the end of Sascha's match and they said that Jasmine's match is moving to that court.

That makes sense, Ice. Otherwise, it might never get finished!

Here they go again!

I was there a few weeks ago and it’s true what they say about 4 seasons in a day!

I now have the Crowded House song going around my head.

Jasmine ought to have this in the bag now.

But you never know.

Well, I've jinxed Jasmine then.

Forza!
