Mixed doubles is a glorified practice session for the top players. They must have discussed this during Hopman Cup and hey, let's sell a few tickets.

also Tomic knows he'll be gone tomorrow so he needs a reason to stick around

He better not infect her with a bad case of the Weirds.

[GirlySports]

Rafter is so mad about the state of Australia that as Davis Captain, he may select himself to play doubles!

Going to play doubles with Lleyton this week.

[GirlySports]

early reviews are that the courts are extremely fast

and it's very hot, will be 40 degrees all week.

[Mango]

Impressive job by Bouchard in the first set. She was down 3-5, but pushed hard and won 7-5 over Tang. Fingers crossed for the second.

[GirlySports]

she's in control now. She saved several set points in the 1st.

[Mango]

6-1. Nice stuff! Razzano is next for Bouchard.

[Inglewood Jack]

nice clean wrap-up, taking care of business in the early rounds is a good habit for Genie to acquire. I think I saw a brief glimpse of her on court 15, via some ghetto hand held camera feed off to the side. hoping for that audience of 20 or so people to steadily swell to Rod Laver arena size a few matches from now...

[GirlySports]

nevermind.. thought Pospisil was up.. he won't be up for awhile, long matchongoing

[GirlySports]

ok now pospisil up in about 15 minutes but i gotta go to bed

[GirlySports]

#7 Errani is out. She was Bouchards potential opponent in the 3rd round

[dash_pinched]

Vasek wins in straight sets defeating unseeded Sam Groth of Australia 6-4, 6-3, 6-4...

I'm just going by TSN, but you can watch Raonic at 5 pm MT on TSN2.

[GirlySports]

sounds right, he's up first on court 8 at 5mp

[Inglewood Jack]

good old Aussie open, the only grand slam we can watch entirely without having to skip work or stream at the office...you just have to set aside 50 bucks for your coffee budget during the two weeks.

get it done in straights like your buddies, Milos.

[GirlySports]

5pm Raonic
7pm Wiggins

who's more important? Milos needs to win in 2 hours

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Match on right now, Milos is down 4-3 in the 1st set.

[CedarMeter]

Milos won the 1st set
