[alfy!]

Great game to start with, looks wise. Kirilenko is top notch and Sharapova is amazing.

Why has no man tennis started yet? Or has it?

Sharapova > Ivanovic IMO. Few will agree with me though...

How's the weather looking in Melbourne? I'm eager to see if Kubler can win..... at least a couple of games.

 

[NiceCunnington]

Any updates on when the other matches will start?

 

[RoosterLad]

Some games have started now.

Hopefully the Stepanek game kicks off soon.

 

[Kaan]

[Bloods boy from the Bush]

50 Unforced Errors in under a set and a half is amazing.

Ahhh this is great to watch haha, can think of a few other matches I'd like to go for this long but

Considering the Sharapova-Kirilenko match looks like it could push past 3 hours, I thought I'd look up the longest women's match ever. Check this out:

Longest women's match: In 1984, Vicki Nelson-Dunbar defeated Jean Hepner in a match lasting 6 hours, 31 minutes 6–4, 7–6(11). The match featured a 29 minute, 643 shot rally.

WTF?

 

[TheTrav]

Lol wtf strong rally

[RoosterLad]

Pull your finger out Stepanek.

 

[damochandler]

sharapova looks gone now

 

[red+black]

Please lose Sharapova.

 

[RoosterLad]

Is it raining again in Melbourne???

 

[PHX]

I think it was again, but now about half resumed again so the rest can't be far away.

 

[red+black]

Kirilenko got to within 2 points of the match on Sharapova's serve, but is now serving for the match at 5-3 in he 3rd set.

 

[TheTrav]

Cmon Kirilenko, DON'T CHOKE DAMMIT, would actually like to not hear Sharapova the whole tournament

 

[alfy!]

Kirilenko might be feeling the nerves of finishing off this match, with Sharapova breaking back.
