TSN3 begins coverage at 5 p.m.

TSN1 and TSN5 join that coverage at 7 p.m.

Tennis Canada hasn't tweeted any specifics yet, but that does seem right.

Replying to my own post:

Via @Tennis_Canada:

Day 2 is underway! Raonic will be live on TSN5 at approx. 9pm ET & Pospisil will be live on TSN1 at approx. midnight ET. #ausopen

Sloane Stephens has fallen off a cliff since between Serena a few years ago, now out of the top 40. Thankfully for us she went down early to Azarenka, Milos should be on at or right around 7pm MST.

[Inglewood Jack]

Why the eff is everyone wearing that eye searing neon green this year??

[Senator Clay Davis]

The working theory is because it's the same colour as the ball, it makes it more difficult to pick up the ball off the racket.

[Derek Sutton]

Raonic up two sets to zero, both went to tie breaks.

[Mango]

Pretty good challenge for Milos. Nothing wrong with getting things going well early in a Slam.

[Kidder]

Wow Gutsy win by Pospisil against Sam Querrey.

Down 2-1 and he played some excellent tennis, breaking easily in the 5-4 game each set to take it in five.

The way he was playing he could certainly go a few rounds deep and make some noise.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Pospisil rallies for a 6-3, 6-7 (5), 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 win. And his draw too has opened up, great chance for the round of 16. In Stan's quarter too so who knows?

Yes, if you use the 6 hour rule of thumb its easy to keep track of the time zones right now.

Just about a perfect start for all of our Canadian hopefuls. They all need to keep building from here and they should have a long tournament.

[Senator Clay Davis]

They love Genie in Australia, once again at the 1am MST slot, which is primetime in Melbourne.

[Derek Sutton]

Huge upset in the making, Sharapova is on the ropes. TV ratings about to go in the tank.

[Resolute 14]

Gutsy game there. She saved two match points.

5-5 in the third! Tune in if you can. Going down to the wire.

Well she was down 4-1 in the third, but now showing why she is one of the best in the world, what a come back and Panova is collapsing like a cheap lawn chair.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Speaking of mega upsets, Federer down a set and on serve in the second to Bolelli. Considering how good he looked coming in would be a pretty devastating loss for Fed. Too bad Maria didn't go down, would have open a clear path to the semis for Genie.

Also Milos will be on late (or early) tomorrow, last on Margaret Court so 2:30am MST or so.

[Inglewood Jack]

Not gonna happen. Bolelli can't repel neon green of that magnitude.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well that was quick. Bolelli on his way to a quick next two sets, already broken in the third. Also Vasek is up first tomorrow so he'll be on right at 5pm MST tomorrow.

Bouchard is just cruising looking really good her second serve seems to be quite a bit better than the muffins she was tossing up last year.

Of course as I type this she is having a bit of trouble closing off the match hopefully just working out the kinks

Game set match Genie wins!
