Grand Slam Day 7 - Australian Open 2024

C4C same with me on getting FoxSports, I don't have presently but once footy starts I will put in back on. I use to watch tennis all the time. I will probably get a streaming service sometime this year. I really miss watching the big torunaments.

im not talking about the first rounders, im going as deep as the 3rd round players, some of the top 30 seed players.

i've got 3 separate networks of friends who have all gone just to be social.

if you think the interest in tennis in australia is truly there, and big, then events like kooyong, adelaide, any cup ties, should be selling out, and they arent. we get tennis in this country for all of collectively 2 months of the year, and if the interest was there, the numbers would be there.

Fair enough.

Top 20 players are more of an indication to me. Some of the Top 30 players I would not recognise For example Griekspoor, never seen a match of his. I would have no idea how to describe him. Top 20 I’d know them all.

Then you have players like Cazaux and Borges who I don’t blame people for not knowing.

I remember on Thursday every court was packed as I knew someone that went for a week and they said it was packed some days and quieter other days

 

[YeoShuey]

The only one is Tennis TV now, right?

I think so. I remember looking into it but never had an interest in getting a membership on that streaming service.

I have Foxtel for other reasons still otherwise I’d pay for the streaming but can’t afford Fox and streaming service as well

 

[JamisonRun40]

I thought Paramount Plus was going to start streaming tennis.

I'm not sure why it's an issue though. It's what the AO is designed for and it does it well. There was good crowds at the United Cup/Brisbane from what I saw this year, not sure about numbers though.

I tried to buy Tickets to Brisbane a few days before & the only seats I could get were

Think you get to keep if you’ve won Premiership but I could be wrong lol

Well that’s another thing they took MTV from Foxtel too and that was one of the channels I watched most, had soo many shows I watched on there now it’s gone

Zverev is going to be done by midnight at this rate.

Maybe it is because my father is Eastern European

He’s only got one and a half sets to win lol do you think he’s guna fluff the third set?!

 

[JamisonRun40]

I might even be able to watch the last episode of Fargo after this match tonight.
That is such a stupid statement from the commentator about matches both have won.

Always a good chance considering the mental toughness of what was meant to be the "next gen"

 

[YeoShuey]

They can’t all be mental giants like our own ADM.

[JamisonRun40]

Just on the AO and their bars, I don't drink out of plastic, can't stand it and I hate Aperol Spritz.

Basically our final hope of stopping Djokovic.

 

[JamisonRun40]

Thought that was great from Michelsen and I liked what his coach wants from him, to be vocal. Love it, so simple.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Basically our final hope of stopping Djokovic.

Even though he first has to get past Rublev and an in form Sinner who he is 0-6 against lol
