Who knows maybe Ash Barty can make it to the final itself, can’t remember the last time a Australian women has won the Australian Open, must be ages ago.
The match at Margaret Court arena has gone well past Midnight and not a lot of people were at the venue. Spectators have gone home and had enough for the night. As game finishes, Rebecca Maddern would feel very tired once she drives back home.
What’s with everyone going on about how tired certain presenters are this year? I understand to an extent with regards to Tony Jones but it’s not unusual for these matches to go well after midnight.
Have to admit I was a bit skeptical about what Nines Coverage would be like but I think they are doing a pretty good job in the first few days.
The telecast finished at 1AM in NSW and Victoria. I noticed that Rebecca Maddern is getting very tired and had to drive home to get some sleep. Tomorrow, will be the same as today with James Bracey, then Tony Jones and Rebecca Maddern as night.
Maybe Maddern et al should present the AO from Perth if they are all so tired. After all, 1am here is only 10pm there, would make them look much fresher.
One of my first jobs was working at the AO for the caterers. We’d start at 8am and if you were on centre court finish well after midnight most nights. All day on our feet in hot kitchens and food concessions. Walk back to the MCG in the dark, try and remember where you parked that day, drive home, and be up at sparrows to do it all again, usually got one day off in the second week.
Yep. We all have long days/weeks in our work at times. Some of us do extra hours too and don’t get paid for them…but that’s another conversation for another forum lol
