What a way to start? Both of my picks to win are at the centre court right on day 1
and both are going to win 18th title in two weeks.

Cute, but the odds of neither Rafa nor Novak making it to the final are negligible.

That is why I am not putting money on it. :snigger

what are the televised courts

The matches on the 3 main courts look boring today and I want to see if there are any decent matches on the other streamed courts

 

[TsarMatt]

Thanks for this, tented!

I'm so annoyed that I have an exam early tomorrow morning. Still, I'll be watching Raonic go up against Nick Kyrgios, the promising young Aussie. I remember his R1 RG win last year against Stepanek. I have a feeling he'll give the Canadian a good run for his money. Should be a good match.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

That (Raonic vs. Nick) will be a tight fought match and will go to at least 4 sets.

From prior years, I remember that there are six show courts (at least), but I don't
remember which ones they are.

I hope you're right mate. Nick really seems like the future of Australian tennis. He seems to really care about his career and has a positive coaching team. He is a bit one-dimensional a player at the moment, but hopefully that'll pass as the years progress.

On ESPN3, they list the following courts:

Philippe Chatrier

Suzanne Lenglen

Court 1

Court 2

Court 7

 

[GameSetAndMath]

They also say that you can watch upto 7 courts on espn3. But, I don't know which ones
are those apart from the big 3.

to be honest no match interests me today apart from Youzhny vs Carreno Busta

That could be a good one. It will be played on Court 2, so you may be able to see it.

Busta up 2 sets on the Doctor

 

[the AntiPusher]

This could be a tricky 1st round match for Fed

Hi, AP.

What makes you think this could be tricky? Seems straightforward so far.

 

[Moxie]

RBA up 2 sets on the Doctor

That's Pablo Carreno Busta, actually, but Youzhny looks poised to take the 3rd.

 

[the AntiPusher]

This could be a tricky 1st round match for Fed

Hi, AP.

What makes you think this could be tricky? Seems straightforward so far.

It was a quick first glance, now as the set has progressed, this guy isn't consistently keeping the ball in play. So you are correct, pretty straightforward. Btw, I thought the Voice, Nunei only does WTA matches these days

 

[DarthFed]

Lacko didn't figure to have any game on clay. Comfortable match for Roger.

He does some men's matches, but not many, and I think only at Slams (not the regular ATP tour). He is distinctive, that's for sure!
