I'm probably going to contract some hideous and life-threatening disease caused by sleep deprivation... So good night everybody, been fun being with you and take care for the rest of the evening!

don't worry if some random name Rhyne williams can take Flo to a 5th set then Berankis will trash flo

My worry is that Rhyne caught Flo sleeping, but now Flo will wake up and come after Berankis with everything he's got.

And Williams makes doubly sure that I'm not right about anything.
Torn between staying with it an watching fed. I think this tennis is great fun, though i think Llodra can not make it competitive enough to make it the best match

That Duckworth kid's backhand is pretty good.

The announcers were not pleased with Paire's last set. Flat-out scolding him at times.

Can you blame them? Paire was obviously a beaten man but he could of at least tried to go out with dignity instead of just play weak shots and just asking federer to beat him, the lil tweener shot he tried to pull off was just messing around and not being proffesional in his defeat.
He started well but im glad he's out based on how he acted in the 3rd set.

I was just going to comment on that as well. It looks like the sole contributor to his racquet head acceleration is his wrist snap...

Anyone else notice Mannarino has Nike apparel but is using Adidas shoes?

Don't worry, he'll eventually push his opponent to sleep and win.

This happened
The coverage by channel 7 here in Australia is absolutely shocking. Today they showed Duckworth and Mitchell who were both nobodies over Federer because they are Aussie. This kind of thing happens every year e.g last Wimbledon they showed Stosur over Federer (Stosur. At Wimbledon.). Anyone else have similar experiences here?

Can't wait for Brands vs Tomic. Big fan of Brands after seeing him trouble JMdP in Vienna last year.
You my friend, are missing out on the best match of the year so far

One year they cut to Home and Away for two sets of a later-stage Fed match, it's a joke.
Edit: Here's a link I found after some googling - I was livid at the time.

Yep it's absolutely ridiculous. They've cut away from the Monfils and Dolgo match to show Wickmayer and Gajdosova because an Australian is playing. Channel 7's coverage is so biased and pathetic this year.
They're now showing Gajdosova vs Wickmayer (not a match worthy of being played on Rod Laver really) instead of Monfils vs Dolgopolov (which i thought has the potential to be a classic). Gajdosova is ranked 166 in the world and never won a match at the Aus Open in 7 attempts.
Managed to get next Thursday and Friday off workIf only I'd got Wednesday off as well...
Wednesday isn't that interesting, is it? Or do you mean next week? Not sure whether next wednesday is tomorrow or the wednesday after that.

Verdasco-Malisse could be entertaining as well. Good shotmakers.
You are right. Forgot about that one. Might actually the best match, because their both very talented headcases and it could be very competitive. Still, not a great schedule imo

Is it just me or the ball is flying through the courts alot faster than previous Aust Open? Could it be the record breaking heat causing this?

The poor coverage yesterday from both Foxtel and Channel 7 was the main reason I went today. I knew damn well they weren't going to show the Haas match on tv and I didn't want to miss it. Worth it.
