That's rather short sighted and selfish given athletes were literally passing out from heat stroke. They had every right to complain.

Might be a night match.

Raonic/Dimitrov 3rd on MCA after two women's matches so around 9pm which is perfect

It should be an entertaining match and if the Genie supporters are in good voice, it will feel like a Davis Cup tie.

Can't see the Genie supporters getting those up close seats in the main stadium.

She's really well spoken. It's hard to believe she's just 19. What a gem.

I just watched an interview of Genie with Darren Cahill and I completely agree. For a 19 year old playing in a grand slam, and playing as well as she has been, she really is composed and a very charming young gal.

[GirlySports]

first women's match is done already, Milos up next after the Sloan Stephens match.

[GirlySports]

Stephens has won.

Raonic coming up next!

[Inglewood Jack]

Baby Roger vs...Charlie Brown??

[Resolute 14]

If Dimitrov can serve like that throughout the match, this is going to be quite difficult for Milos.

[GirlySports]

Stephane Robert won the battle of the lucky losers. His prize is probably Murray in the next round.

[Resolute 14]

Mediocre set from Raonic. Nothing at all inspiring thus far. He doesn't seem to have learned much about returning tough serves over the winter.

[troutman]

The Match means more to the Bulgarian. He wants it.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Milos needs to drink a Red Bull or something. Just looks out of sorts and slow.

[GirlySports]

At some point in this set Dimitrov's play will dip and Milos will improve. But can Milos take advantage of that.

[GirlySports]

there we go, he's awake!

[Resolute 14]

Now that is more like it! Huge break of serve in the second!

[GirlySports]

just keep serving at his head

[troutman]

I'm waiting for the Aussie commentator to say the match is getting "spicy".
