During Nine's intro to the Djokovic v Alcaraz match, lots of references to "place your bets", "the chips are down" and imagery of animated poker chips tumbling down the screen. Does the Australian gambling industry have an undisclosed ad deal? 😠 #AustralianOpen #AusOpen

Djokovic playing with Alcaraz who was a little too nice earlier in the match. Be cordial before and after but not during the match.
Carlos needs to develop the Serena death stare.

Absolutely thrilling and tremendous match, won by Madison Keys 10-8 in the third set tiebreak after saving an Iga Swiatek match point.
If she can play like that again on Saturday against Sabalenka, she absolutely can win this #AusOpen.

Unprompted, he took a moment to tear into the quality of local broadcasting and specifically on-court interviewing at #AusOpen.
