In the US, it comes under this link:
http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index
Also, when I type "espn3" into my browser, it directs me there automatically.
Thanks for that SB but it asks for my tv provider... and Guess what... its not listed

Sorry to hear that. I tried to poke around internet some more and unfortunately I could not find any indication of a multi-court streaming in your neck of the woods. Apparently TSN2 and TSN5 are both showing RG today, but no sign of anything more than that.Haddie-nuff wrote:Thanks for that SB but it asks for my tv provider... and Guess what... its not listed

Watched large parts of it. Odd decision but Hamilton could have refused to come in.

Agree, but now drivers are just highly paid robots to press buttons on the steering wheel, not the strong fighters and hot heads they once were.
Tsonga 3:0 up.

Cheers temporary.
Andy Murray is last on Philippe Chatrier tomorrow and Rafa and Novak wait until Tuesday to start their tournament.

That's bloody harsh. They should've been on today, or at least tomorrow if bottom half must play today.

I agree. All First Round matches should be played on the first two days. They manage it at Wimbledon and I think the Australian Open so they should be able to manage it at RG. They don't manage it at the US but their scheduling is freakish anyway.

Re: French Open Day 1 & 2
The French are idiots about this; if some nutcase comes on and does something crazy they'll have no excuse.
Never mind Federer, they should ask Monica Seles whether it's worth taking this subject seriously.

Re: French Open Day 1 & 2
Have you see this pictures from his practice the day before? One kid got on and got a selfie as he was leaving and the next thing he and ONE security guy were overrun by around 50 kids, adults.
I think the main issue beyond setting a precedent so that others start doing it is that,like today, they approach from behind. No player, especially after Seles, wants to have an unknown person allowed to come at them from behind. There are tons of crazies out there.

Visitors are screened by metal detectors now, at least to tournaments I've been it was quite a Airport style pat-down and control, so there is no scare of knifes any more, at least I hope.

Check out some of the exposes on the Internet, news shows of what people can get through airport metal detectors and security. Security at a sporting event is virtually useless against someone with real intent to do harm. Shocking to me it's even a question that stuff like this should have a 0 tolerance policy. I bet not one player would think its okay.

Agree, after Seles scandal, it always on sports players and organizers mind, though 2-3 times now at RG, seems a little careless.

Re: French Open Day 1 & 2
things aren't all bad for Nadal. He has to take confidence in this:
Bojana Jovanovski today:
"The courts are very slow, much slower than in Rome. I couldn't get used to it.
Hitting the ball fast is not dangerous at all, you have to play with a lot of spin and try and open up the court"
Stan: " There is too much difficulty hitting though the court, there is no easy power to be had"
Federer: "It's a slow as I can remember. Returning second serves is a joke with these balls"

Looks like the weather is going to get hotter in the second week. Looking very good indeed for Rafa.

Indeed. And the 2009 final, and of course Seles before that. Those are just the ones we know about on the showcourts, too.
Away from security, Karlovic and Garcia-Lopez were the seeds to fall today, no other upsets.

Re: French Open Day 1 & 2
A bit harsh to Nadal/Djokovic to start on Tue, I would have thought start the tournament with the players who have the toughest draw and most needed recovery time, they're making at already biased situation worse, only slightly worse though, I don't think it will make a huge difference in the big run of things. I would have thought that they would start with the champion on day one as well, or give them the choice.
If it was up to me I would start slams on a Friday night and have R1 done by Monday, or Tuesday at the latest for any players coming from a final the previous week.

Re: French Open Day 1 & 2
Im jumping to federers defence here, he cannot possibly accept a selfie from every kid who walks up to him after a match, hed be completely swamped all the time, and its not totally safe either. A man in that demand has to have clear boundaries between him and his fans, a selfies ok at a pr event or maybe just after a training knock up, but not there.ZZ wrote:Silver wrote:legendkillarV2 wrote:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/32866992

Has anyone noticed that the color combination which Federer wore yesterday, is now being sported by Krajinovic and Pouile. All of them show Nike signs. Has Nike run out of color combinations? ![Laugh](/users/3014/26/22/82/smiles/810156456.jpg)
