Australian Open 2017 draw

[Backspin1183]

Please post the AO draw on this thread. It would save us time not having to go through several pages of the general AO 2017 discussion thread.

Thank you.

 

[Krish872007]

Thank you for setting up.

I look forward to seeing how stacked the draw will be, with all legends playing at the top of their games.

 

[Backspin1183]

Del Potro, Kevin Anderson, Tommy Robredo, Juan Monaco, John Millman and Berankis have pulled out due to injuries.

Might have to wait another 2 hours - the official stream said that the main draw goes live at 12pm.

Can't wait another 2 hours. Gotta get back to work. Do post the draw here when it's out.

 

[Backspin1183]

They said another 45 min more about 8 minutes ago.

 

[marc45]

should be top of the hour, although they had that noon mention before that...wonder what delayed it?

[marc45]

Any news?

 

[I Am Finnish]

Del Potro, Kevin Anderson, Tommy Robredo, Juan Monaco, John Millman and Berankis have pulled out due to injuries.

Kokkinakis too

 

[helennnnnn]

Ooh it might actually be about to start...

 

[Krish872007]

The usual preamble.

Credit to Craig Tiley though - this tournament has been beautifully run under his leadership for several years.

 

[Zebrev]

It's so Quiet.

 

[helennnnnn]

Come on you've already made us wait over an hour get on with it. And sort the volume out while you're at it.

 

[Zebrev]

Haha, now music starts playing that is way louder than the people talking. WTF!

 

[helennnnnn]

Well I'm enjoying the music

 

[gogo]

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This is the worst stream i've ever watched.

 

[jm1980]

Kerber is wearing a nice outfit

 

[Krish872007]

They've screwed up the microphones. Quit mumbling to yourselves...

Kerber and Djokovic look awesome, btw.

 

[tennis_pro]

Whoever is responsible for that stream should be fired. You had ONE job.

It's so bad it actually made me turn it off and I thought that was the last thing I wanted to do now.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Is this 1989? Seriously, work out how to do a live stream. Epic fail.

 

[Zebrev]

Virtually silent now.

 

[marc45]

audio!

 

[Krish872007]

I've got my volume up at 96 and I can just about hear it.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

What is Kerber wearing? She looks like Madeline

 

[jm1980]

Is this 1989? Seriously, work out how to do a live stream. Epic fail.

Looks like they haven't fired the guys responsible for "Novack"

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I've got my volume up at 96 and I can just about hear it.

Mine's on 100 and I can't hear a thing.

 

[Zebrev]

Random sound effects, this is killing me!

 

[Djokovic2011]

Kokkinakis too

 

[helennnnnn]

Someone's getting sacked

 

[marc45]

somebody has to hang for this!...my ears!

 

[tennis_pro]

It's not that the audio is too quiet, I'm just afraid of the random sounds that are 10x louder.

 

[Backspin1183]

WTF! I am turning it off now. Better follow the draw on Twitter.

 

[Krish872007]

"We are experiencing technical difficulties."

Well, no ****!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kokkinakis too

When was that announced? Haven't heard any withdrawal announcement from him? Read that he was awaiting scan results and then he'd decide.

 

[marc45]

"technical difficulties"..no bleep...embarrassing

 

[Krish872007]

Can we just skip this preamble? As it is we can't hear a damn thing. By the time this guy finishes we'll be in 2018.

 

[tennis_pro]

I think the stream has been hacked.

 

[helennnnnn]

Oh good an echo

 

[Krish872007]

LOL - now a new sound effect! Wonderful, just wonderful.

 

[Krish872007]

At last. Can turn it back down now.

 

[tennis_pro]

Ok a little more BS.

 

[I Am Finnish]

When was that announced? Haven't heard any withdrawal announcement from him? Read that he was awaiting scan results and then he'd decide.

Yes you are right

But still in jeopardy tho

 

[Krish872007]

Women's draw coming up first - should be interesting

Kokkinakis has withdrawn from the men's side.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Kokkinakis is out. Dang

 

[tennis_pro]

Women's draw first.
