For those in the US, even though play has begun, of course ESPN is not showing it …

The TC desk pointed out how tough this draw is from DAY 1 w/ many top pros being tested early! I hope we're over this "weak era" nonsense!

LOL...TC is invested in this being interesting. You will have noticed that Novak has a smooth path to the SFs?

The Carota Boys are in attedence for Jannik Sinner's 1st match on RLA
Forza Jannik!
Now leading 2 sets to love

Looks as if they're going live free on ESPN just in time for match w/ Novak! He's the 3rd match on Rod Laver Stad. IIRC from the TC desk!

They want me to pay $10.99/mo. to see the matches behind the pay wall. They can go f*%k themselves. Have they not noticed that Rafa is not playing, and Federer has retired? And Serena? Good luck with folks kicking in extra money. ESPN is betting that tennis fans care, and they're risking that they don't, enough. I care A LOT, and I'm not going to give them the extra money. I'll watch repeats on YouTube.

EDIT: ESPN has proven for some time now that they don't deserve to air the Majors.

Jannik Sinner through in 3 sets against a 'tricky opponent' Boitic, 64 75 63, still some area's he needs to improve going forward
Carota Boys are very happy with the match!

yeah saw parts of this game, too. Good competitive couple of sets there. Go Jannik. Say is that famous italian commentator, writer Reno still commentating back in Italy? He must be thrilled.

Oh, and once again, I have Cerundolo v. Sweeny, but if I want to watch Rublev, ESPN will charge me. I am completely fed up. Are they going to put Novak behind a pay wall, too? It's 12:30am here. ESPN has nothing else to show, on all of its 5-8 channels, and yet, they'll hold out, just in hopes that we're so desperate that we'll send more money. I am absolutely not that desperate. My interest level was already low. Not I'm done.

do you have another alternative to viewing these games over there?

Is subscription to Australian open TV an option to american folks?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sad News!
Matteo Berrettini has withdrawn from the AO due to a foot injury.
Really tough for Matteo!
Matteo needs to get healthy and rebuild in 2024
He will be replaced in the draw by Zizou Bergs a LL who will play against Tsitsipas

I get 3 free channels in Oz seeing it is our home GS, but I also sign up to Stan free while the AO is on, so I can see all the courts, maybe that could also work for Americans

I see you are still struggling with slams coverage. If it is of any comfort to you I only get the radio where I'm now. Time traveling to 1924.

Rublev allowed Seyboth Wild to get in the match and now he is in trouble, looks like it will go to 5th.

I just saw that score, too. The Wild Brazilian can be interesting. Shame we can't watch it.

The Brazilian is fun and the guy plays with a smile on his face which is the complete opposite of Rublev. Angry Russian is on the edge of hurting himself again, screaming a lot..

4 MPs saved by the brazilian.
