:blink:
why is this match on Rod Laver Arena :huh: this is not Wimbledon

Probably because it is a match with 2 of the up and coming youngsters. Should be a cracker if Tsonga plays like he is capable of. Still think Murray will edge it though :ok: What time do you think it will be our time?

On paper Murray looks to have the toughest 1st round match of the top 10 players in that half of the draw.

Since they are probably assuming that Justine & Serena's matches won't take long they probably want to give the fans a long match to watch rather than Roddick's match which looks like it should be very easy.

Plus Murray has a higher profile over there than the likes of Gasquet & Davydenko.

There goes my sleeping pattern for the next 2 weeks. :rolleyes:
Sleeping in the day and watching tennis and working by night...

I truly wish I was unemployed at the moment so i could actually watch some of it! at least i should be able to follow it online in the mornings :pray:

Are you staying up for some of it Jo tonight?
I'm off to the shop shortly for a bottle of red and am gonna plonk myself in front of the TV and get ready for 8 hours of tennis :yahoo:

i dunno - i have to be at work in the morning, so i'll see how late i can stay up and still be at work tomorrow! :unsure: should be able to follow the live scores at work in the morning B)

that helps me decide whether Mr Pebs is right that I shouldnt go back to work yet... first time I have agreed with him in ages!

:lmaao:

do you reckon you could let me have your cold??? :wacko:

Ok, sorry if this has been answered already but I am a dumb dumb....

......is this gonna be on BBC like last year?
