Burgey boy having a good day in this thread so far. Hate to admit it, but he is.

You know what grinds my racquet Jono - Channel 7 and Fox Sports showing the exact same match between two unseeded players. I don't mind this match, its an Aussie after all, but Ferrer, Ivanovic, Berdych are all playing now too. I actually want to see Juan Monaco vs Ernests Gulbis.. Also that Megawall is pointless on 7, unless we actually had control of it..

 

[Jono]

I'm at work so you can gagf.


But you are right. Its even worse now since Fox Sports used to have viewer's choice and have multiple tennis matches, but now only show one. I complained last year and they said the number of viewers they got did not justify the showing of multiple courts. Well that's fine, but then you surely have to show a different match to Channel 7?

 

[NUFAN]

Ah okay. I didn't have Fox Sports during the Aus Open last year so wasn't aware they had multiple matches which would have been good. At least they stick to a match, I would be annoyed if I was an Ebden fan without pay TV and had to watch Stosur with Ebden 2 sets up. All good, I don't think my 1-3 aussies progressing looks good, but I just won that money and more back on some easy 'win the first set' multis.

Ebden tanking the 4th?

Ebden tanking the 4th?

Taking a hint from Tomic's book IMO.

 

[morgieb]

Have to say I'm not a fan of the AO court scheduling. So many interesting games yet they have the WTA on the main courts.

 

[NUFAN]

Aussie Matty Ebden did so well in the first 2 sets. South African born Matthew Ebden has played poorly ever since.

Stosur better win this.

 

[ajdude]

Much like myself.

are you saying you sucked in auckland?

now that's an appropriate ***ual reference.

 

[Jono]

LOL @ tanking the 4th set working for Ebden. He's up in the 5th!

 

[NUFAN]

That was actually awesome from Ebden to break Mahut back. His last service game was woeful though so who knows. I think he will win though.

My boi Jerzy is warming up.

ITT: burgey confirmed to be the real Baa boi.

Nufers, reckon Haas is decent value today. He sucked in Auckland but he should get past the first round. He refuses to age.

Down a set and a break Sorry Nufers

Good from this ****

Didn't back him in the end. Slow start from Janowicz..

 

[Jono]

Haas retires hurt

Looks like age is catching up to him.

You couldn't script that
