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

New thread.

What's the reason for closing the roof?

It might rain .

(and the wind is affecting Djok, is the more likely answer).

I wish Carlos had got the break there. It seemed like he had opportunities.

We just had a little bit of rain - 10 ks away.

I want to gag Tim.

I wish there was an option to mute commentary.

Please keep calm Carlos.

I love Rafa so much.

Vamos!

Vamos!

If he can hang on and win this set it will be huge. Make the old man go to 5 if he wants to win.

Vamos!!
Come on Carlos.

Yes! Go Carlos!

Vamos!

My feed on Discovery+ seems to be a couple of points behind the rest of you.

Come on Carlos!

Djok MTO incoming.

Doctor out? What a surprise.

I just hope that Carlos can stay focused when he inevitably starts doubling over and grimacing.

oof. Carlos had his chances. Djok's face is annoying.

Sarah Snook!

This is one of those sets where anything could happen - hopefully Carlos will break and then serve for the match

Come on Carlos.

Rafa looks happy.

Djok is roaring now!

I quite like the umpires approach of treating the crowd like school children - settle down now, many thanks

Come on Carlos!!!

Vamos Carlos! Time to win this match.

Wow, even listening to the radio commentary this match is amazing! Love Carlos, not keen on Novak ( not as a player but as a person) but have to say I don’t know who to root for. I think Novak has probably de seated Roger in my heart as the GOAT , he is extraordinary.

I don’t think my nerves can handle a tiebreak.

I liked the comment that if people talk during play they will be removed “and that will ruin your evening” 🙂
