The Australian Open started last week and we are know into the second week of the tournament. Anybody who follows tennis knows that the second week of a Grand Slam is crunch time. This is a time where the level of tennis starts to pick up, only the elite players are left standing. I predicted that this year would be a little different on the ATP tour, due to the quality of play from the other players on tour. From watching the Australian Open this week my prediction has held true. There have been players who have risen to the occasion who weren’t expected to win on both the ATP and WTA tour.
In case you have been missing out on the action you can catch coverage on ESPN 2 usually from 3 pm-7pm and 9 pm until 6am est time. If those times don’ t fit within in your schedule you can take an alternative route, and watch it via your computer with a program that I use when I can not seem to find coverage for tennis matches. I explain it more here. This is just an alternative route if you don’t have the Tennis Channel or if ESPN just isn’t cutting it for you at times.
If you are wondering where to find the draw for the Australian Open you can go to ESPN.com/Tennis or you can just go straight to the Australian Open’s official site AustralianOpen.com. However you are going about watching the year’s first major is fine, just as long as you’re watching it. Mark my words you don’t want to miss out on the action. There is just too much drama! Why would you want to miss it?
