Djokovic has always struggled in Australia but Mother Luck is always there to rescue him. Something has to be said for the power of pyramids.

When will Kyrgios stop commentating?

Anyone who is impressed with his commentary is stricken with bigotry of low expectations. He is no Tony Romo. He is all platitudes and cliches. Not hearing any of the pro insights you would expect. Murray's brief forays into commentating have been far better.

On the whole, tennis commentators are the worst of all sport commentators. Some of them don't seem to watch tennis a lot they just turn up with their crib sheets with have no context. Kyrgios knows he doesn't have to deliver; he knows they want young people to follow tennis because of him.

McEnroe the other day admitted to not knowing who a professional inside the top-120 was. It's literally his job to know about tennis. The lack of preparation or care is embarrassing. Former tennis pros chase these color commentary jobs because it is an easy paycheck. In the NFL they actually have to work to keep these jobs because it's very competitive.

Yesterday, Kyrgios confidently declared, in trying to big up Gasquet, that he had beaten Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. Off the top of my head, I know that Gasquet has never beaten Rafa on tour. You'd think he would have checked some facts before the match if he wanted to talk about that.

I am confident that he knows less about tennis than many users here.
