Todays schedule is very thin, with only matches im interested in are coric and novak.
Some of Tennis Australia's decisions over the years haven't enhanced the tournament despite what they might think.

Starting the tournament on a Sunday only leads to a thin schedule, which you've mentioned. There was always something exciting about it starting on Monday, but now it feels anti-climatic.

Playing the two Men's SFs on the Friday is another grievance. It was better when it was Thursday night and Friday night and the women's SFs were played on the Thursday afternoon.

The fifth set tiebreak. We'll never see another contest similar to the classics of Roddick vs El Aynaoui (2002), Federer vs Safin (2005) or Djokovic vs Wawrinka (2013).
 
You didn't answer the question.

They've decided to play less games on day 1 and 3, but both those days have the 1 and 2 seed on RLA.

Iga side of the draw should have been day 1

The men’s semi change is good. There shouldn’t be one having an extra days break leading into a final.

The tie breaker is a farce blame the useless servebots there
 
Poor Novak. Very temperamental.

Still holding feelings about Shelton’s behaviour at the US Open.

I hope Shelton beats him in Round 4 and does the phone hang up on him after the match.

Hope Sheldon loses round 1, go RBA
 
Remaining tickets for RLA day session are $185. I’m talking seats at the very back. On day one. For two matches. One of them being Sakkari. Absolutely mind blowing.

It’s ****ed given I paid $39 for the same seats

It would probably been better if the two main courts started play earlier. I must admit I like having it start on Sunday like the French as I woke full time and wouldn't be able to watch any tennis until after 5pm. MCA court two day matches I would of had these as the night matches. Looks like Barbora has woken up after taking the second set. I'm liking Sweeny's play against the Argentine.
