Maybe it's just me but....

On the New Site:

Click on the Tennis tab - bunch of matches listed but no Aus Open.
Scroll down to the More Sports, Tennis section - Aus Open not listed at all.
Click on the Aus Open picture at top of page and get re-routed to old site but just Men's Tournament winner.
Click on Tennis on the side menu and then Aus Open, still no coupon listed so click on Men's Tournament, still no coupon so click on Semi Final matches, still each one listed separately so back on Men's Tournament and now instead of the list of matches from some other tournament that were in the middle of the screen I now at least get a Men's Tournament banner but 'no markets available'.

Go to old site:

Click on Tennis and get a page with all outright markets and semi final match markets for Aus Open displayed in the middle of the page with a link on the side tab to today's in play coupon.

Why is this so hard to find on the New Site? Am I missing something obvious?

And on the old site why aren't the winner markets listed under Mens Tournament and Womens Tournament like usual

that's cos it lists today's in play matches and most AO matches are on the following day or are finished by noon. Use the AO link on left of page

Yes, I take your point but I think that a massive event like the Aus Open should be considerably easier to navigate to than some minor tournament that happens to have matches a few hours earlier. On the old site it is really easy, it's just the new one that seems to me to be so badly designed.

On the new site I have to click Tennis, Aus Open, Womens Tournament (lack of apostrophe makes me cry inside), The Final, Li v Cibulkova, Match Odds and then I get just the one market. On the old site click Tennis and I get a bunch of markets for both finals. The new site should be better designed than that imo.

When I click on mens games I get taken to the old site?

And adding to 'my markets' is glitched too. Great site this.

I assume you're aware that that's not the new site. When you click match odds and get that one market, you've been transferred to the old site. The Australian matches simply don't exist on the new site (except for the presence of the left-hand navigation menu).

When and why did they decide to leave them on the old site only?

Someone sent them an e-mail, apparently they're still working on the functionality to have the Aus wallet events on the new site. Crazy stuff given how long it's been and how big the Aus Open is, liquidity wise, compared to Iceland Division 4 football and all the other crap they have.
