Well it's kicking off, nice and warm out there and 3 Brits in action at 2am your time.
Just glancing to see the results and spied
Konta beats Venus Williams
Williams 4-6 2-6
Big Scalp and first Brit into the second round and Murray making easy work out there too.
SWMBO is there all this week. This means I am relegated to Daddy Day Care duties. Therefore I am hating the tennis.
lol I'm glad I'm not over there anyway, would be good to see some tennis but when Melbourne gets flooded by the middle aged Andy Darling Ladies mindlessly wandering round with jet lag it gets annoying 🙂
I'd thought about putting some money on Konta to beat Williams.
Rafa out.
His decline is sad to watch now, given what a player he was.

I'd bet Williams took some money to throw that match...
Halep out too.
There will always be a bit of a question mark over him for me but it was great to watch the battles between him and Federer at their prime. Two opposite ends of the tennis spectrum.His decline is sad to watch now, given what a player he was.

A bit?!!!! 😉
A bit? More gear than an Eastern Bloc weight lifting squad.
The Operation Puerto blood could answer some questions ......

Have we ever seen any evidence of this?. There always seems to be suspicion in Tennis, whereas those jolly old rugby chaps seem to be left to get huge at will.
Isnt Konta Australian /Hungarian really ?
Yes she is, tennis is getting as bad as rugby for nation hopping. And to think big Jack Charlton used to get laughed about for their policy!.
Well played Konta, that was a gutsy performance.
Yeah just catching the updates, reckon Tomic might be a little quieter after tonight too

Could be an interesting Semi, all over the place so far
Djokovic in a hurry. Making Federer look ordinary is quite a task.
