Venus and Grigor are on the main court today! I'd go watch them play.

Nope...LOL They had rain in Melbourne but instead of putting the matches in the three covered courts they waited hours before they finally realized.....Hey...we have covered courts....LOLOLOLOL I think they finally caught up late last night but have one more round to go today.

First round....day 1 matches... https://ausopen.com/schedules

Just 2 days left! Can't wait!

The two Zverev brothers could meet in the 3rd round.

The draw is out! Novak, Sasha, Thiem, Delpo and Stan on Roger's half of the draw. Grigor on Nadal's side of the draw. Looming is a 2nd round match between Novak vs Gael

Speaking of...can Gayle get a life outside of Oprah? Lawd she is with her everywhere! I guess she wants to milk their friendship for all its worth!

I'm enjoying Anna Navarro as guest co-host.

Having another bad day? Sorry to hear that! Totally agree with this. The male actors were either brooding during it or tuning out. Then when the audience gave the grand dam O a standing ovation ...some men took a while to stand up for it. I love what Ann Curry had to say about this..... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ann-curry-media-wont-change-glass-ceiling-is-broken-1072021

The highlights for me was seeing BJK in the audience. The award presentation from Carol Burnett and Roseanne/John Goodman. The rest of the show was a snoozefest including Opraph's big speech.

I'm watching and saw the standing o she got. The cast of Roseanne is at the Golden Globes.

He's got to be motivated too. So far it looks like only Murray and Kei will be out of this year's Aussie Open. The tennis community is still wondering how Novak can come back and play without any warm up tournaments played. I have a feeling Novak will either lose early or withdraw from the tournament some time next week.

I actually saw it live. It was a scary moment. Grigor sure is a true gentleman.

Well, he has been spotted and most are saying he looks fat...that he put on weight.....

I forgot it was back on. I missed it. Oh well hopefully they will rerun the episode on Saturday.

Stan Wawrinka: the 2014 Open champion also hasn’t been sighted in six months as he battles a knee injury that will restrict his build-up to next week’s one- night Tie Break Tens. I had to laugh at this one. It's like Unsolved Mysteries...where is he? He is still probably pouting about Magnus Norman leaving him as his coach. I am still looking forward to it. I am sure the courts will be fast again to favor Federer but I am hoping he doesn't win either. I am sick of him and wish he'd retire.

Not a surprise about Andy and I have a feeling Novak will be next to pull out. Loving the warm up tournaments and the new Greek player who played Thiem today.

It was so nice to see Coric's match today. You can always count on moaning during his matches. I am so glad he won.

Well at least has some humor. Never cared for his game but yeah to watch him lose....LOL. I don't miss him in the tour. All that said....I think he is finished playing tennis. A hip injury was what got Gustavo and Norman off the tour. His withdrawal puts him at #18 in the world now but that won't matter considering how far it seems he is from returning to the tour.
