So, Fed's got the first evening match, which is a civilised early morning time to watch it.
Won't set the alarm for Dr Misha's upset of The Seriously Declining Tier One goat...only if I wake up naturally.
Davai Youzhny!!!

I nearly had a heart attack, Eurisport wasn't loading for about 5 minutes.... 
And now...bliss, aaaaah....luminent, sundrenched Australian blue sky, I'm there!!!!
The ball looks ultra-bouncy, Nadal is going to love it, Raonic, too...
Dustin Brown must be the most laid-back guy on tour, I can easily imagine him smoke a joint as a warm-up.

How far back is Coric standing?
I think I'd support Nadal over Coric.

I can't believe it...no Chardy-Coric on Eurosport...now I have to look at those horrid add ridden streams and sit at the desk 
Coric is weaponless, but a potentially great percentage player, surely he can't beat Chardy, I love his FH!!!

Not only is women's tennis boring and over-paid, but they have to hog all the best courts as well

That is horrible.
Won't bother turning the desktop on then....
Despite the easy match vs Brown, Dimi is really going to struggle with his BH against sharper players. Unless he improves his FH dramatically, he'll burn out fast.

With some difficulty, but Chardy does manage to serve out the second set.

Chardy ultimately took care of Coric in 4. Murray is two sets up on Bhambri and Goffin a set up on Russell. Also Klizan easily through, and Seppi beat Istomin in 5.
Rafa up next on Laver.

Easy first set for Rafa. Youzhny not playing either well or the right tactics. Not sure how much longer I will be watching this.

Fed playing good. Just conversion of BPs some concern... not bad overall.

Lu is a quality grinder who would have given Nadal much more trouble than Youzhny.

Fed playing great, taking the ball early and absolutely awesome. Lu... I don't know . Playing against Nadal is different game, he is quiet unique.

He is playing okay considering the first match of the year. And Lu is no mug, so it wasn't going to be a walk in the park.

Fed is beating Lu with his not praised enough craft, but you can see how this kind of match is draining even for a straightforward three setter.
Tennis never used to be like that in the first round of slam.
Fed can't wait for it to be over.

I only watched the end of 2nd & the third set, and he was a bit heavy on his feet, late on the FH quite a few times.
He needs to play his matches in daylight.

Yes...
In these conditions players need to hit at least 30% more shots than if it was a bit faster.
Depressing.

very true.
It was quite breezy today so must have been difficult to time the ball too.

Gulbis kokkinakis into the 5th set.. Kokki's outfit is really strange, looks like he borrowed his sister's.

I knew Vesely would lose v Troicki. Troicki is indeed even fitter than Vesely and certainly more experienced in slams.
Disappointing though,.

The noise on Gulbis court is absurd. Sounds like there is some copter circling above as well. Really bad!
