Damn! I wanted to see Alicia v Patty, but Murray is also on then. It will probably be ANOTHER night of men's matches 
|

men's matches are all that's been shown here as well. We have got only a couple live womens matches. The men get the live spots, women are almost always shown on tape delay this week for some reason. |

Dav are you watching eurosport coverage? I have actually been seeing more women's matches! What time are you staying up till dav?! I have generally been watching the first match from 12:00AM (Serena v Petrova last night, great match) and then a few morning matches from the night session.
Pretty much every single first match televised on eurosport has been women's. Granted, the night matches are often men's. |

I've been watching most of my coverage on BBC Interactive. They show the night sessions from 8:30 am. They mainly show men's matches which is really annoying me and John Lloyd made it 10 times worse by saying 'They need to focus on men's matches in the night sessions because they are the feature matches'. What a load of bull! Most others I have seen are from youtube. |

 You mean you can find good picture quality matches on YouTube??
|
||||||

I heard Youtube wiped out most matches and highlights except for a few odd points here and there. |
||||||
| dav6789 |
I did but they removed them yesteday saying they were property of Tennis Australia. I still think people are uploading them though. | ||||||

Many people's youtube accounts got suspended. |

YouTube is being very strict right now, with the influx of spammers, companies being concerned with copyright, etc.... |

Sharapova recovered from a rather slow start to beat Garbin 6-3 6-1.
Hingis is cruising over Nakamura, 6-2. Nalbandian needs to figure something out quick, as he trail Grosjean two sets to love. 7-5 6-4. |

Maria :hearts: Great play by her in the second, and end of the first. She really stepped it up.
However she needs to get her serve going the way it was in the indoor season, I was loving it then. Her next match will be really tough! |
||||||
| Tennis fan |
Nalbandian did it again... down 2-0 in sets and saved match points in the 3rd to to a tie-break; win the 3rd set then the 4th set and finally easily take the 5th for the match! | ||||||

This is exactly why he can't win a late round match! He's wasting all the energy on the early ones....

Nadal wins over Wawrinka 6-2 6-2 6-2. You should have seen the forehand Nadal hit on match point, it was nice.

woot! Ana-Crybaby Z has been moved to Rod Laver. Hopefully she can get the match over. Hopefully ESPN will show it too. 
|
||||||
| PSALT |
you have got to be kidding me. instead of showing a live match, ESPN will show Sharapova-Garbin. why!?!?!?!?!? why not show a live match and keep this match for tommorow at 3 to be shown with all the other tape delayed matches!? this truly has to be some of the worst coverage ESPN has ever done.
|
||||||

This is nothing new, ESPN does that all the time. Just the incredible intelligence of the people there.
|
||||||

Well, ESPN always favours a Sharapova blowout to another player's live match... it's so sad, economics is all behind this... again. |
||||||

Oh dear, Ivanovic is losing badly at the moment.... | ||||||
| leftys_rock |
No, not just her, they do this with many players. To be quite frank, I wouldn't mind watching Ivanovic Zvonareva now, I can always download this Sharapova match from johnoo's blog. I know the score anyway and they showed highlights earlier. |

Very disappointing showing on Ivanovic's half. Losing like that must be a downer... Molik's run is over as well. Too bad the last set had to be a bagel...
Blake continues to tear through the draw.... |

Murray vs Nadal will be an intresting match up. But Nadal will be to much | ||||||
