Today is quite warm and tomorrow is going to be hot AF during the day. 38 degrees forecast for Melb (100+ Fahrenheit) which is often a lot hotter on-court.
No heat protocol for the men is baffling.

LOL at Venus and Serena pulling out of doubles too late for the tournament to replace them with another pair.

What a couple of dicks.

I want a return to the FedExpress, but we all know he's going to break down either during the game against Berdych or the game after that.
Birdman is a pigeon and has no chance against Fed.

Murray could take him out though.

McEnroe just called Djokovic a mini Tiger Woods situation. Who would ever cheat on Jelena?!

Huh, didn't know they re-string rackets mid-match. Thought they'd have a heap of spares.
Federer notably carries a million rackets that are pre-strung, and Rafa notably uses the on-site stringers.

Fed/Dimi will be a straight set snoozefest so I have to root for Rafa here.

Yea not sure I can watch another Fed rear end kicking from Nadal on Sunday.
This is the best chance Fed will ever have. Playing well, fast court, extra day to recover, Nadal with a 5 hour semifinal.

I think you meant Rafa in 5, but the gist is right.

Sidebar: why does Rafa keep pulling his pants out of his crack when he's a multimillionaire who can afford to just buy better underpants?

McEnroe is one of the biggest retards in sports.
He's more tolerable than Chris Evert, but yeah, they're both on ESPN for their accomplishments as AMERICAN players and nothing else. Certainly not for valuable commentary.
