      Just spotted the unmistakable Gary Zimmerman on TV at the Aus Open. Must have a gig there.

                          Nope. Comes across as a bit of a flog.

                                      If I was in need of quick recovery I'd prefer Doc Reid was coming out with his 'assistant'. Just then need to avoid those pesky WADA people looking to make sports people scapegoats.

                                          I turned it on for a short watch last night, only to hear Bruuuce say about Michelle Payne "She doesn't need any beauty sleep, does she? Gorgeous girl"...and then a little later, someone astutely noting that hip flexors are 'high up in the thigh'. Dreadful.

                                              I did enjoy the performance of Gavrilova.

                                              She seems to be everything that Stosur isn't and really fights for every point. Almost a female version of Hewitt for her tenacity.

                                                          Hewitt goes out against Ferrer last night in his last Aus Open ever.
