They chose the right matches for the channels tonight.

Kyrgios on the main, and Alcaraz on 9GEM.

 

[Gigantic]

McCabe and Duckworth with straight forward matches to advance to the 2nd round.

How are they getting away with charging $89 for a ground pass to 'Super Saturday'?

I don't know how AO can justify that price.

The best thing about having the tennis on two channels is you can switch between the two and avoid the nauseating MAFS ads

It’s very strange to be watching a Yank in green and gold and the Aussie player in red, white and blue!!!

Chris please just close out this set I need to go and finish cooking my dinner.

 

[FreoRicci]

Bugger. O’Connell had a 0-40 chance at 3-3. Blew it.

95000 people attended the tennis today. The largest single day attendance ever at the AO.

This event is a behemoth.

Went last night to see Novak. Managed to get a great seat at probably the lowest point of dynamic pricing. Don't know how it would compare to the presale price. Got there at around 5:20 expecting to catch some action at 1573/court 3 and hop around the block of courts 5-8 and 10-15 before heading into RLA. Literally didn't see a single bit of action before RLA. Huge lines for every court and the block of 5-8 + 10-15 was so crowded you couldn't even walk. Last few years have been okay but this year was out of control. Think they're doing the pass out system for the bigger showcourts and lines didn't even move at change of ends. Gave up in the end and more just walked around collecting free sunscreen which is always handy with their small size. Would also love AO/ticketmaster to require ticket purchasers to specify heights. I have been fortunate most years with the people sitting in front but last year was terrible.

Really regret not going to AO around 2011-2015. Cheap tickets and guaranteed to see one of the Big 3.
