I just heard that Charter and Disney are close to an agreement and my settle even before Monday Night Football tonight. Sure, throw tennis under the bus so you can settle in time for most of Football. I'm still cutting the cable.

Remember the feeling I had was MNF wouldn't get sacrificed to prolonged the dispute. Heck I don't think I should have to pay my bill in September.

Craig Tiley is the Gift That Keeps on Giving he dosent want a tournament before the AO in Saudi, well money talks Craig I am afraid

Craig will have more pressing issues at the AO with the 'Pro Palestine Protesters' apparently they will protest at the AO, Craig said he has upped the security at Melbourne Park.We have had marches in Sydney since 14th October., not peaceful may I add, even in Melbourne they have not been peaceful

Question for the forum that affects men's and women's tennis. It came up in the women's final at Madrid, and I think in the men's: If a call is overturned on a player's second serve, why should they get a first serve all over again? If it was second serve, it should still be second serve, should it not? It's a weird rule, and should be changed, IMO.

It's too much pressure to ONLY give a 2nd serve. It's almost like penalizing the player because of a stoppage in play which may last more than a few minutes.( Well a least a minute). Give the player two serves and move on.

Fair point, but if folks are trying to speed up the game, they should give this one over. It's like arguing if we should have lets on serve. If it lands in the service box, play it. I'm not committed to playing lets, but I'm not against it.
