I take that back, it's raining so only 3 courts going. So who knows. We're going to get backed up like Wimbledon.

I'm assuming we don't get Felix until after Kokkinakis / Fognini is done, right?
Iga's not looking all that great in her match with Osorio. She'll still win easily.

Felix is after the Sakkari match, so no delay.

Have it muted. What was Sakkari issue with umpire at 5-5? She didn't look vary happy...

She's not happy she getting punked by an 18 year old. And the loud come ons.
"If she screams one more time in my face, I'm going to call the referee."

Sakkari breaks and we need a 3rd set delaying the Felix match another 45 minutes or so.

Sakkari is just terrible mentally.

If she works on her footwork and movement so she's in better position to hit some of these shots, especially the volleys, she could be a problem.
I do like that she gives no ####s and swings for the fences. It's fun.

All right, Robbie Koenig on the call of the Felix - Molcan match.

So, 3 games in 6 minutes... prepare for a 2.5 hour 5 set match.

I have to think Felix hope it rains in Melbourne for the next 10 days or so.

I wish someone could explain this decision making to me. He's missing a bunch of balls long and clearly doesn't have the feel and timing down on his forehand... and he's still going for lines and hitting at 100%.
Like... do you want to lose?

Molcan seems really good for his seeding.

It certainly doesn't hurt that he's painting lines and putting every ball in play at the moment.

Well he did hit a few lines in the last two games but most of his shots aren't actually anywhere close to them. He sets up his opportunities to hit big shots and then hits them. The story of that set is "smart tennis beats dumb tennis".
