Great to see Matthew Ebden get through against 16th seeded John Isner.

Sam Stosur currently locked in a 3rd set fight to get through

Sam Stosur out first round after being at one stage on match point.

Nick Kyrgios playing now.

Re: 2018 Australian Open Tennis

I am a sports fan and will watch anything except motor racing.

Really like the tennis.

Watched Kokkinakis against Medvedev and was disappointed in the match overall. Neither seemed capable of winning, while Kokki seemed to have lots of trouble with his body.

He is either like Tom Williams/Ayce Cordy and will always be let down by his body or like Jake Stringer and feels all the twinges as if they are serious injuries.

I was ten watching Ash Barty against Sabalenko and survived the first set. Unfortunately Sabalenko has that East European screaming in her repertoire and it is just impossible to sit through.

While the officials continue to allow the women to make sounds at Jet Engine level the game is unwatchable. The noise is unnecessary and clearly a tactic to put off their opponents. Barty was clearly disturbed by the noise emanating from Sabalenko.

Surely they should have a decibel level that can`t be exceeded in the interest of fair play.

Very pleased to get up this morning and see that Barty got through.

I watched a bit of the Ash Barty match with the sound off.

Great match last night with Nick Kyrgios beating his childhood idle Tsonga.

Re: 2018 Australian Open Tennis

I didn't think Kyrgios was any chance of taking that tie break, but he really pulled out some good tennis.

Watching tonight, Dimitrov on top, going to be hard from here.

When Kygrios head is in the game, he's a hell of a player.

If he can keep his mental side intact, he has a big opportunity

Re: 2018 Australian Open Tennis

Imagine he could find a full time coach he had the inclination and tolerance to work with......I'm not sure he's at that maturity level yet, but if he ever gets there watch out.

Re: 2018 Australian Open Tennis

Kyrgios v Dimitrov was a very high class match and would have been worthy if it had in fact been the final.

I think Dimitrov has the capacity to take the title.

I think Dimitrov has the capacity to take the title.

He is certainly starting to improve. I saw him last week against McDonald and he just scraped over 5 sets.

His game against Kyrgios showed significant improvement and it is better to improve through the tournament rather than start at your best.
