1. cool!

Now,

GO ROGER ! ! ! ! !







While I do like Cilic, I can't help rooting for RF.

2. I'm backing him because I never support athletes

who have been caught using PEDs.
Love the Fed's tennis, but my tennis players are Rafa and Andy Murray.

[trusty elf]

3. Oh....

I'm sorry about their injuries!

I guess Rafa will have to cede his number one ranking to Fed if Fed wins tomorrow.

[malaise]

4. Yep

Hope he wins

5. Actually, he'll still be a little behind Rafa in ranking points.

See live-tennis.eu. Next to players' names on the right their next round points and maximum points are listed. Federer, if he wins, will be 155 points behind Rafa.

6. Ah, ok, thanks!

7. Who says I'm open?

Oh, that OZ.

[malaise]

9. LOL

8. Go Federer!

I cannot stand one single thing about sweet Caroline. So she finally won? Finally. No wildlife involved.

10. Halep hospitalised with dehydration as Australian Open officials defend roof decision

Simona Halep was hospitalised with dehydration following her Australian Open final defeat by Caroline Wozniacki, forcing tournament officials to explain why the roof was left open at the Rod Laver Arena.

According to Tennis Australia, who released a statement on Sunday, the roof was left open because the wet bulb globe temperature – a mixture of temperature and humidity – did not pass the required threshold of 32.5C to close it.

Halep, who needed the intervention of the doctor during her 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 defeat by Wozniacki, is understood to have spent four hours in hospital on Saturday evening.

The story is not very well written at the moment - the lower half, which talks about when the roof was closed, is for the men's final which has just been played, but the story doesn't say that. See eg https://af.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idAFKBN1FH0DK-OZASP . I suspect they'll rewrite this article soon.

11. Something has to be done about conditions at the OZ Open

They are going to wait until someone collapses and dies in that heat.

Thanks for this.
