Play called off now

Anisimova asked for the roof to be closed. The tournament official and I believe Jill Craybas, said there didn't seem to be any heavier rain coming so they would wait it out and then dry off the court. And here we are. It's pouring.

[ashkor87]

Yes, Anisimova found it funny .she has a cute smile. .

I have the volume muted as I watching the Leafs-Canucks game on another screen.

Novak Djokovic vs. Adrian Mannarino underway.

That's the first time the 10-time champ plays during the day session at the #AusOpen since facing Frances Tiafoe in the 2nd round of the 2021 edition. Since them played 15 consecutive night matches here.

And it's played... indoors.

Sabalenka very impressive today against Anisimova, who is not playing badly ..

[ti-amie]

I switched to Kostyuk vs Timofeeva. Kostyuk is up 3-1, 40-0 first set.

[skatingfan]

Novak's already bagelled Manarino in the first set.

[ti-amie]

Sabalenka 6-3, 5-2 and serving for the match vs Anisimova.

That Djokovic-Mannarino match was for you, ponch, even though you would not have wanted to watch it. It was in some ways a validation of your opinion about Mannarino's game.

[ashkor87]

I really wonder about these bagel sets ..too many of them not to mean something...but what? I can see why they would happen at IW or Miami but here? Is Mannarino so outmatched ? Or sabalenka's many victims?

[JTContinental]

Mannarino played 3 5-set matches already, so probably didn't have much left in the tank

[JTContinental]

There's something poignant to be said about the crowd boogeying down to Miami Sound Machine's mid-80's classic "Conga" while a player is being treated on court for an injury, but I don't know what it is.

Wild errors now from Tsitsi's backand..happens when he gets tired and/or under pressure..
