Hopman cup is allowing fans to come in the arenas to watch the players practice. Here's a couple of pics of the practice sessions

Who's playing for Germany? Kerber/A. Zverev could be a great duo.

Oh yeah Rodgers gave her fits at Rogers cup right? They play eachother in a couple hours
edit: I can't wait to see this Destanee Aiava girl from Australia play. She's only 16 and just steamrolled her competition in Brisbane qualifying

Eugenie lost.
Starts 2017 0-1
Starts 2017 0-1
Yep,at least she won a set lol...and I just found out that TennisTV does not carry the WTA anymore..the WTA announced that they will have their own streaming service this year but the platform is not ready yet,so I couldnt watch the tournament...one local cable channel up here(TVASports) got the rights to the season for tournaments outside of the Slams but are not broadcasting Brisbane.
Do you have DAZN? They have Brisbane and Sydney but since the Happy Slam is around the corner I won't subscribe right now. Bummer the Slams are exclusive to the Eurosport Player.
I'm in Canada so probably not but I will try later.

Serena is about to start her match against Parmentier in Auckland. Too bad tennis channel only has the rights to Perth and Brisbane so I can't watch 
edit: Serena won 6-3, 6-4. I bet she looked sluggish

16 y/o Aussie Destanee Aiava won her 4th consecutive match in Brisbane today. She was inspired to play tennis by watching Serena Williams play when she was 5

Why do you want innocent Bencic to become a homewrecker?

Serena just lost her 2nd round match to Brengle lol. We'll see how focused she is in the AO, because right now she's thinking of her new fiance.

Your boy Zverev beat Federer again today. The teenager now has a winning record against Fed. Changing of the guard is nigh
The way that kid plays truly is astonishing. It's as if he just skipped years on the tour. Let's just hope he can stay focused and healthy.

he does not as Hopman Cup counts for nothing.

Kyrgios was playing with a sore knee, so Sock was able to win 6-2, 6-2 while goofing off. Check out this shot from the match

Mladenovic is fangirling about Roger lol
She said she's too nervous to speak because she's about to play him in the interview.
"Roger please not too fast or too hard please"

Verdasco is the biggest choker. Dude had 5 match points in the second set, and a few of them were on his serve. He let Djokovic win that one
lol. I turned off the match after I saw Djoker win the second set. I knew Verdasco is gonna choke in the 3rd set

Lauren Davis won the Auckland tournament. Rafa=Fedkilla (RIP) would be proud
Damn, is he banned?

Oh yeah he's definitely perma-banned based off his last post. You can get a 2 week ban just for telling a poster to "fuck off". He took it 1000 steps further.

We get our first Djokovic v. Murray final of 2017 tomorrow.
I'm a huge Djoker fan, but I think Murray takes it 6-4, 6-3

Any place to stream the Raonic match? Don't think either of the Canadian sports networks are showing it (they usually do)

Yeah,Tennis channel is a no go in Canada and Tennis TV is a pay thing,last year it was 10 bucks for a day,50 for 3 months I think...Sportsnet usually show the semis and finals(well SN1)...
I subscribed to TVASport for the WTA stuff,its like 3 bucks a month more on my satellite plan,they dont have ATP though.I thought the Brisbane final was at 8 this morning,since they schedule it there,I figured 8 in the morning,it must be Live lol and went to take a look at Live Tennis score when I woke up...freakin game was at 4 in the morning,so TVA is not always live,will have to remember that.
Pliskova easily beat Cornet.
Jesus. Extreme indeed.

I wonder how many ATP players watched the second set of Murray/Djokovic just there and knew they'd never, ever be that good. Utterly insane level of play, the physical and technical demands of the rallies almost unbelievable, at least until Djokovic lost his cool after failing to serve out.
He'd almost became the first player to go through a match with Murray without losing his serve in 111 matches (Murray had to save 3MPs before doing so). He was averaging 80% first serves in until he served for the match.
Hope the final set lives up to the first two.

Djokovic wins the season opening event. That was a fun final - looking forward to some nice back-and-forth from the two in 2017!
