Australian Open Tennis 2015 - Chat Thread

Round 1 - Andy v Yuki Bhambri

Monday 19th Jan - 2am (approx) UK time.

Good luck Andy

Good luck Heather Watson

Tempted to back joko but he is nearly evens to win it, probably just worth waiting and backing him in the semi or final.

Hi Sonko, welcome to my chat thread

I won't be able to watch any of this as I don't have Eurosport

i am a big fan of Juan Martin del Potro ..done his wrist in had to have surgery ...always thought he was going to be the next real deal..hard to get back i guess....outsider for me is Stanislas Wawrinka in the mens.........and fancy Caroline Wozniacki as a possible winner..

I will be going to watch on Wednesday

I'm a big fan of Del Potro, too. A real shame he had to pull out.

I like Sran, also, would be very happy to see him win again.

Of course, I will be hoping Andy wins, but I'm not very confident. Let's hope he can surprise us.

Sounds like Bhambri is a good player from what I've been reading, so well done to Andy for last night's win.

Lucky you, Joel, being able to go and watch

How far are you from Nelbourne Park?

*Melbourne

Can't see what I'm posting once I've used a smiley as the smiley panel won't go away on my  iPad, it's very annoying.

Sran? I meant Stan.

Was never like this on my laptop.

Hi Bears!

Hi Md, are you not watching Cbb

I never watch CBB.

Watching Broadchurch.

Not as good as the first series.

About 30 minutes away by train Mrs Diva, I just have a ground pass which is for all the outside courts, but there will be plenty of games to choose from

Sounds great, Joel.

Enjoy yourself

Round 2 for Andy, tomorrow morning 2am.

He plays Marinka Matosevic.

Does anyone know if the final will be shown on the BBC?

He may well be on live video on ere, MD. I watched a couple of matches on it last night that Eurosport never covered.

In other news, how refreshing that the girls have taken to wearing pink knick knicks for this tourney. A most refreshing change from Watson's jet black bike ones, and Sharop-ova's hideous half leg camouflage ones..

Thanks g2d.

I've just had a look on the BBC website and the mens and women's finals will  be shown live on BBC2.

Men's Final Sunday 1st Feb 8.15am.

Happy days!

It's probably too much to hope that Andy will be there but I will be watching anyway.

Aussie Open my fave tournament

Women's Final 8.25am on the Saturday.

I didn't mean the final btw. I think his other matches may well be on live vid on ere (if you're awake)

6'1 6'3 6'2

Well done Andy

Thanks for that, g2d

It was a very pleasant day out at the tennis yesterday.

Good. Glad you enjoyed it

Do you live in oz Joel ?

Yes

Very nice, how much did it cost to get in ?

The ground pass was around $40 which lets you watch all the outside courts, and Hisense Arena games.

Murray wobbling

Hi Sonko,

I've been keeping track of this on BBC text coverage.

Not looking good for Murray.

Come on Andy.

I have to serve up the dinner.

Can't follow this any longer.

Hoping for good news when I look in later.

relax my dear.

Lol, Sofia.

Sounds like Andy fought back well in the 4th set.

I've just read the end if the match thread in the AM Forum.

Hope he gets to the Final as I'll be able to watch

Andy v Berdych on BBC2 now!

Nothing about showing any of Andy's matches in the Radio Times

A lot if people will miss this. I only put the TV on to do a workout video or I would have missed it too!

Gotta record Andy and watch in a while.... exercise must come first.

So put your TV on if you want to watch Andy

Wow - that's possible the best I've seen Murray for some time

Must surely get another Grand Slam in this form

Yes was looking good.

Just finished watching it.

That was fantastic!

Well done Andy

On delay?

Did you niot read my earlier post, Leopard?

I'm ecstatic that Andy has reached the Final

No, couldn't you work out while watching Andy?

No, Leopard, I like to concentrate on what I'm doing when exercising. I was doing HIIT on a rebounder, couldn't have done that watching Andy.

I have watched Tennis while on the cross-trainer in the gym, that's ok.

Anyway, how excited am I at the prospect of Andy winning on Sunday?

Well played Serena

You have to laugh at the birtish panel all tipping andy murray, they should make them steak £10k on their opinions or their fee imo.

Yes, congratulations to Serena

cmon joko

Cmon Djoc make it 6-0 in the last set

ebarrasing finish
typical murray

At least he'll get another Frisbee

NOt many close ups of andy's foul mouth bint today

jeez - Murray only won one game since being 2-0 up in the 3rd set

Joker 1.01 to fall on his back when he wins

Or not

absolute canter

murray chucking his towel in the crowd

Think he chucked it in a couple of sets ago

Joko is going to win all 4 this season.

why bump this thread?
