Australian Open 2017 - Day 1

[PonsfordMagpie]

Don't worry the Australians will all lose by Thursday probably

Including Tomic and Kyrgios?

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Klizan causing problems for Stan. Up a break in the second after winning the first set.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Including Tomic and Kyrgios?

Tomic probably will it's Tomic.

Nick might not but at least he's good. Rather the support there than for some bloke ranked 100+

 

[Drummond]

So we've got some good matches going on, including Stan in a great battle, and were forced to watch Groth on one of the channels. Fair dinkum.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

So let me get this straight...

We have a good match between Stan and Klizan....

No let's play servebot Groth against some other chump or Federer flog some other bloke

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Fair point. It'd be nice to watch on the big screen, but each to their own.

I usually support showing the Aussies because I like to watch them but Groth and a round 1 Kyrgios match didn't fill me with excitement I must admit.

 

[JackNah_8]

Hope Groth loses early who decided to put this boring game on

time to change the channel

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Wawrinka takes the second set.

 

[Wolfs]

Both channels are showing Groth v. Darcis? Come on, man.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Same shit. Different year.

Channel 7's coverage still sucks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Give the coverage to Fox jeez

 

[Mitchyy]

Stupid of ch7 to show Groth vs Darcis match on two channels. I may be in the minority but I love watching Groth play. Good to see some serve volleying.

 

[Wolfs]

Look I don't mind having Groth on one channel. But there is Kerber and Wawrinka playing. Literally the world No. 1 and not even shown.

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

I'm going to throw my remote at the TV if I hear someone else say Sir Andy Murray.

I always thought you got a knighthood for public service, not being a whinging flog.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I long for the days when Foxtel also had the broadcasting rights to the tournament.

 

[JackNah_8]

I always thought you got a knighthood for public service, not being a whinging flog.

The Brits love him though

 

[Wolfs]

Sir Kevin Pietersen incoming?

 

[Wolfs]

The Brits love him though

Honestly he is one of the best British athletes of all time. Won Wimbledon twice, World No. 1, Olympic Gold. It's fair to knight him if you want to knight athletes.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

come on fed you better win 3-0 last leg of a multi

 

[Wolfs]

Oh Angie

lol they moving her to 72 lol

 

[Xtreme]

Kerber in trouble, get her some sausages for energy!

 

[BobbyMorri]

Kerbs early in the tournament. it never fails.

 

[ChookMFC]

Kerbs early in the tournament. it never fails.

Her form this past two weeks has been deplorable. I don't know what's going on with her. Having said that, she dominated the first two sets and somehow lost the second. But women's tennis is like that sometimes.

 

[BobbyMorri]

i have only watched one ch.7 match so far and that was Barty.

mostly watched poo Pliskova(now that was a game) Lanko 5 setter from the start and now i am watching Witthoeft. though will have Kerber on as well.

 

[JackNah_8]

Oh Angie

lol they moving her to 72 lol
