[Albion] The Aussie open

[Bozza]

2:40am and Konta is still playing.

Ridiculous.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Agreed. Utterly ludicrous.

how is it sensible or beneficial for the players, the crowd, or the domestic TV audience? Madness.

 

[DerekZoolander]

Complete nonsense time to be playing any sport.

Time aside, players arguably might like it, as surely likely to be cooler at that time, rather than playing at 3/4pm Aussie time.

 

[zeetha]

3.15am Aussie time, and Konta has just lost

Shame that such a good match was played when very few people were watching

 

[Hamilton]

What is Konta doing playing golf?

2:40am and Konta is still playing.

Ridiculous.

I was in Oz a couple of years back during the Aussie Open when they had the latest ever finishing match. One of the Williams sisters refused to have her match switched from the centre court. So the men's singles match scheduled for that court had to wait til her match had finished. Forget who was playing now, but the game started about 1am and finished something like half four in the morning. Madness.

Eh?

That was the match between Baghadtis and Leyton Hewitt, something like 15,000 fans stayed to the end to cheer on Hewitt. Mental.

 

[Hamilton]

Eh?

Oh, it's a different Open.
