Grand Slam Australian Open 2025 Match Day (closed)

[YeoShuey]

Sheesh people why are you still going on about Novak being antivaxer, heck get over it, move on. The world has also moved on. Who cares.

Agreed.

Who the f*ck cares about his vaccine status? I'd prefer to judge him on his on court behaviour which is a lot easier to condemn.

Was TJ the one who asked Osaka about what she is going to spend her pay check on, or was that Karl? Thank goodness I don't watch breakfast tv.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Tony's comments were unprofessional

If we get Tony booted let’s all bow down to Novak! Might actually get a good host afterwards haha

Novak's press conference might be on soon

Yep him.

He said 2 days ago before the Novak match

"Novak, he’s overrated, Novak’s a has-been. Novak, kick him out."

So ADM is an anti-vaxxer? He yells at crowds and acts like a petulant child? He tried to ruin the sport by resorting to cheating and taking an inordinate amount of time between points? Must of missed Alex doing these things.

So according to that theory 97.99% of active players are deemed classy. Weird criteria and super shit take.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That’s more than reasonable and typical when Nine hires that bloke as the host.

I have no issue with the decision

 

[matt_897]

Okay, I forgot about that. Fair enough then.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Is TJ going senile? That is terrible, that is asking for trouble. Ch9 will be scrambling to make an apology. TJ should be stand down immediately.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Classic Chompers

He should have been stood down BEFORE the tournament he’s awful at being a host. However that takes the cake what did TJ expect

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Lehecka just didn't have the killer instinct to put real pressure on Novak. Played decent. Alcaraz won't have the same issue.

Carlos really should be winning in 4 sets at most. Weirdly think Zverev makes the final anyway he’s playing better than both

Humbert is a dangerous player and he got nullified comfortably by Sasha which shows the form he is in.

 

[YeoShuey]

Imagine Djoko wins and refuses to do the panel interview at the end, LOL!

 

[matt_897]

Surely TJ and more so Channel 9 aren't that stubborn

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Tony's comments were unprofessional

The problem is channel 9 see the bloke as royalty so that gives him free reign to act anyway he likes. I find him to be an arrogant tosser and most people who deal with him say the same thing. Channel 9 won't do anything because he has them by the balls and probably has alot of stuff stored away in the memory bank to bring out in case they decide to reprimand him

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Imagine Djoko wins and refuses to do the panel interview at the end, LOL!

You’d assume by 9am tomorrow they have an apology already written and TJ stood down. Just get Woodbridge to be the host he’s better at it anyway.

 

[Bungeye]

I think those heavy metals have finally oxidised and the corrosion has been leeching into his brain tissue.

No wonder he's been a bit nutty...

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Humbert is a dangerous player and he got nullified comfortably by Sasha which shows the form he is in.

Yep honestly said it before the tournament he’s was my tip to win, more of a gut feel tip though. He’s striking the ball outstanding

Djokovic ‘acknowledges’ Nine host’s apology for ‘offensive’ sledges, is ‘now moving on’

You just know that yes they are that stubborn

 

[ep2018]

What a sook.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I think Tony Jones’ comments were a joke. Not a very good one, but a joke nonetheless. If he and channel 9 can make that clear and issue the usual ‘I apologise if any offence was taken’ statement everything will be smoothed over (hopefully!).

 

[YeoShuey]

I wouldn't be shocked if TJ will probably apologise, be on that final panel interview if Djokovic is there, and then say at the end "that fake apology, I didn't mean it".

It’s only a joke if it’s taken that way by the other party. People in the media more than anyone else should know that words can mean different things to others. What is ridiculous is why there wasn’t an apology yesterday by Nine
