thanks love game. a lot of sites are blocked here in the middle east.

Thank you, LoveGame, you rock star!

Thank you, LoveGame, you rock star!

Not only are you too kind ... you're welcome!

 

[Tanya]

What time does coverage begin on the east coast? I don't know my timezones.

 

[LiveForever]

Awesome thread with lots of convient info. Thank you, Love Game.

 

[joeri888]

I'm not sure, but I'll guess that there are five courts that w/b televised ... The first three named courts and the two show courts...

Do you really think so? I would be really disappointed if Stepanek-Karlovic and Berdych-Haase will not be available on ANY TV. It's ridiculous. Wimbledon has like 10 TV-courts. I also think it's not that hard. 1 camera that doesn't even need a cameraman would be enough. I don't have many demands. I just need a view. I'll do my own commentating as well.

 

[jimbo333]

Thanks "Love Game", if you are able to post this "order of play" everyday for the next 2 weeks, you are an absolute star

 

[Outbeyond]

From EST, Melbourne is 16 hours ahead. BTW, you can always check this kind of thing by googling "current time in _______."

Tonight's first match featuring Maria Sharapova starts at 7pm EST.

 

[jaggy]

Hopefully the first 2 go fast so I am still awake when Murray comes on.

LOL ..... I understand how you feel! ..... At this point I honestly don't know. I was hoping that info would be available on the official website, but I haven't been able to find it yet. It does seem strange that only two courts have the word "show" in them. About Wimby, IIRC, they broadcast TV from six courts in 2009. ...... at any rate, hopefully our questions w/b answered in 3 hours when play begins!

Oh, and they are offerng live coverge for a fee on the official website, except NOT in: Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, UK, United States! :shock:

Here's a good compact map of the world sliced into time zones.

http://www.onepointed.com/dan/images/time_zone_map.jpg

There are others you can find by searching on "time zone map".

It helps to know that EST is GMT-5, so you can calibrate the current and schedule times on sites that have live scores and schedules of upcoming matches, such as you would find at http://www.flashscore.com/tennis/.

Good links to bookmark ... thanks, JankovicFan!

 

[Love Game]

Good news! According to this proposed schedule (which shows the matches beginning at 4pm Pacific, 7pm Eastern) @ http://www.livescorehunter.com/Livescores/Livescore-Tennis.html ... it looks as if there w/b TV/online broadcasting from six courts today, and those courts (in order of the above matches) are:

Rod Laver Arena
Show Court 2
Hisense Arena
Show Court 3
Margaret Court Arena
Court 6

====== eta:

The bad news is that it's raining in Melbourne, so the only matches played while that climate change goes on w/b those scheduled in either Rod Laver Arena or Hisense Arena (the ones that have a roof).

 

[patty_mnouchkine]

great coverage on this one-

[nabbydian]

great information and updates on this thread - even better than what my TV company does

Thanks Love Game!

Is it raining outside?

As usual Love Game will provide and update us a daily 'schedule of play'. Make sure he has done his job.

Looks like Vika still isn't playing yet, suppose she must be playing wednesday!

 

[patty_mnouchkine]

where's almagro? is he out with an injury?

 

[timeisonmyside]

Interested on seeing how Coco Vandeweghe does. It's about time for her to break out.

 

[Love Game]

where's almagro? is he out with an injury?

He's there! ..... In the second quarter, top half ....... It takes several days to get through the first round ... especially with bad weather complicating things!

super! i'm so looking forward to see him get his revenge against nadal

 

[Love Game]

super! i'm so looking forward to see him get his revenge against nadal

Don't kill me, okay? I just noticed Nico has been playing a very long match against Malisse of Belgium ....... It's on court 19, so it's not being televised, but here's the score so far:

Almagro vs. Malisse
7-6(14-12), 6-4, 2-6, 4-6,

Nico holds in the first game of the 5th set, 1-0

wow! It's gonna be interesting to see the stats from that match!

There are still four matches being played, so I'm gonna catch a few winks!

 

[westside]

haha, Tomic got the night match over Roddick, Nadal, Murray and the Delpo v Blake match

Vika playing at last

 

[batz]

haha, Tomic got the night match over Roddick, Nadal, Murray and the Delpo v Blake match

It's a scandal!

Only kidding - of course Tomic should get the big gig - he's a young Aussie at the Aussie Open.

Good luck to him.

 

[malakas]

the best match should be Kunitsyn-Wawrinka and not many others I care about. all in all a fairly boring day.

 

[Love Game]

I just rechecked the official schedule @ http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/scores/schedule/index.html

It seems odd that they didnt schedule anything after the Blake/Del Potro match in Hisense Arena. Instead, they scheduled a night match (Murray/Giquel) in Margaret Court, which doesn't have a roof and might be smaller than Hisense.

Guess that means theyre anticipating Blake/del Potro will be a long one!

 

[OddJack]

why tennis channel not showing matches

 

[jimbo333]

Well played Vika, good solid first win

Thanks for the OOPS, Love Game

Looks like the men play first today. Baggy and Ferrer up first at Hisense sounds great!

 

[malakas]

No it sounds TERRIBLE. >: ( 2 AM for me,whereas if they had been wise they would have put it late and I could wake up nice and easily at 7 am to watch with my morning coffee.ppfftt

 

[NamRanger]

Thanks for the OOPS, Love Game

Looks like the men play first today. Baggy and Ferrer up first at Hisense sounds great!

I feel the epic 5 setter coming with Baghdatis outlasting Ferrer in a 6 hour marathon.

 

[jimbo333]

Thanks, just in time

And how good does it look on court 2 today?

Davy, and then Vika playing 2 matches, wish I was there

 

[Love Game]

I feel the epic 5 setter coming with Baghdatis outlasting Ferrer in a 6 hour marathon.

Don't even think it!!! :shock:
I was already slow out of the blocks today because of that 4-hour Blake/Delpo match.

Still .... looking forward to Markos/David

better late than never ... you're all very welcome!

 

[nabbydian]

i cant wait to see Hewitt takes on Young, i wonder if DY will play like Tomic
