Any streams for court 4? Or is there no live feedback to it?

 

[Love Game]

Any streams for court 4? Or is there no live feedback to it?

it looks as if the only court theyre showing today is "show court 3" ...... they occasionally show clips from another court, so that means there are cameras over there, but theyre only broadcasting from court 3 ... at least so far!

 

[FedError]

I think they've got cameras mounted on all courts, but they're only streaming the main showcourts, or matches featuring Aussies.

 

[Fate Archer]

^ Oh I see... thanks for the reply guys.

 

[Fedace]

Impressive win by Robert Farah. 1st win over Go Soeda tough japanese player. Farah could come thru here and get to the 4th round of Aussie open.

 

[Pwned]

Play suspended?

 

[raging]

play suspended because raining everywhere but perth in Oz!
tough call to pick anyone but Mahut...qualis are a jungle, only the tough survive and you have to get lucky with your draw.
128 draw for guys. Court 3 is main internet stream court and will have mainly aussies but now only 2 left in mens. womens starts tomorrow and more aussie girls will be going out...sounds harsh but competition is tough for spots.
The quality of feed was good for a while...good first effort from TA. now the boys just need to do a bit of research on some of the international players..there is some quality in the qualis...come to think of it, even mahut is at risk.

 

[philosoraptor]

Rajeev Ram already lost, but some of the people who win here have TERRIBLE break point conversions, I've seen people in the draw right now that have like 3-11 break point conversions..they're going to get crushed unless they pick up the pace.

 

[kOaMaster]

korolev & schoorel you forgot to add

 

[Bud]

Grigor didn't qualify for the main draw?

 

[vandre]

not dy, i beg of thee!!!! :evil:

 

[Underhand]

Donald Young will go from the qualifiers straight to the final.

 

[philosoraptor]

Grigor didn't qualify for the main draw?

yeah, he missed it by 6 rankings(sucks for him)

 

[Arize]

yeah, he missed it by 6 rankings(sucks for him)

Incorrect, he was 4th alternate and only 3 dropped so as he was 1st in line the qualifying draw was pulled and he had to enter it. Either way I think it's better for him to play a few matches before the 1st round of the main draw as it should also boost his ranking.

 

[Bud]

How are they ever going to finish qualifying in time for the start of play?

Today is rained out again and they are just through the men's first round.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Donald Young will go from the qualifiers straight to the final.

The final of the qualifiers?

Anyhow, I'm glad Grigor is getting some match play before he embarks on his AO quest.

It's always good to shake off some rust and start off on the right note.

Actually there're still five first round matches to be completed. Surely they'll have to take it indoors.

 

[Pwned]

Grigor up a set against Amrani. 6-3.

Dimitrov breaks, serving 3-2 in the second.

 

[Mortifier]

Is it live on some stream? Or do you just follow the livescores?

 

[Pwned]

Just livescore. For some reason they are showing a stupid contest thing on the AO website live stream:

[Pwned]

Dimitrov wins 6-3 6-4.

Faces Schoorel or Koubek next?

 

[IvanAndreevich]

That Schoorel guy could come through. Seen him play against Fed.

 

[Pwned]

That Schoorel guy could come through. Seen him play against Fed.

Yeah he played well. Could have just been a really good day.

Hopefully the Koubek Schoorel match goes on for a while.

 

[Pwned]

Koubek takes the second set. 7-6 6-7, onto the third. Hopefully the winner is tired for Dimitrov!

 

[Fedace]

did donald young qualify ?

 

[Pwned]

Not yet. He is playing right now.

 

[Pwned]

Schoorel wins. 7-6 6-7 6-2

 

[JustBob]

Milos Raonic wins 6-4, 6-1. He will then knock off the two Americans, Kevin Kim and Donald Young.

 

[Fedace]

Cmon Donald. I want to see him upset Roger Federer in the main draw.

 

[Blinkism]

Looks like the qualifiers so far are:

Marco Crugnola (ITA)
Frank Dancevic (CAN)
Grigor Dimitrov (BUL)
Denis Gremelmayr (GER)
Jan Hernych (CZE)
Blaž Kavčič (SLO)
Nicolas Mahut (FRA)
Vincent Millot (FRA)
Gilles Müller (LUX)
Milos Raonic (CAN)
Stéphane Robert (FRA)
Simon Stadler (GER)
Ryan Sweeting (USA)
Donald Young (USA)
Grega Žemlja (SLO)

and I think there's another spot still open between Cipolla (ITA) and da Silva (BRA)

DY wouldn't upset McEnroe on the senior tour.

 

[seffina]

Place them in the main draw already!

 

[Devilito]

DY wouldn't upset McEnroe on the senior tour.

that's a fact!

 

[forzamilan90]

[Legend of Borg]

dimitrov in the main draw, hopefully he does well

Probably faces Wawrinka in the second round, assuming he gets through the first.
