Thoughts on Rennae Stubbs?
I find she talks way too much, acts like a know it all and interrupts Sam Smith (IMO).

I reckon Stubbs is great. Actually gives insight into the matches rather than pointless cliches.

I didnt realise the Channel Nine Cricket commentators were moonlighting on Seven during the breaks in the One Day series!

I prefer Sam Smith and Alicia Molik.
I did like Kerryn Pratt for many, many years. But sheâs since vanished from Seven.

She provides a lot of insight but sheâs extremely dominate and tends to be highly critical of Australian players.

This sums it up⌠
We got through this annual fascination with tennis when most people who watch just watch for no reason. They arenât fans and do not follow the game at all. Others just watch because itâs on some reason. Not sure why that would be a reason but clearly to some it is.

Given the patchy record of Aussie players under pressure in recent years, itâs usually well deserved.

Maybe the people watching on TV but I am working at the Australian Open and there are many people from all over the world who have come here that are true tennis fans. The reason the Australian Open is watched more than other tournaments because it receives more promotion and is shown on the main channel. Wimbledon is the only slam which is shown on free to air and is in a good time zone for us and that rates pretty well too when the Aussies are doing well.

7mate should have still been used today and tomorrow^ - thereâs singles matches still scheduled for MCA & Hisense Arena that could/should be aired
^ Probably would use 7Two since 7mate will have NFL AFC & NFC Championship game commitments

The scoreboard now has the seeding number next to the playerâs name:
And the graphics after every odd game:

7Tennis app is fantastic, but has some bizarre feeds.
Like this: âSpidercamâ 
Noticed this a few days ago? Are you positive it hasnât been the whole week?
It has actually been really spasmodic. Some matches have had the seeding but many havenât.

Seven Sportâs long-running Megawall is a joke.
Who gives a shit about seeing âhawkeyeâ or âtournament controlâ or âpress roomâ or âcommentary bunkerâ etc (99% of the time all are blank or empty) 
AO is the only time it makes sense and is useful.

They use it so that more people will download the 7Tennis app as they advertise the app most times when the Megawall appears.
Those bunker and Hawkeye screens are presumably there as fillers when there isnât much action on other courts.

Tonightâs telecast concluded at 1:59am AEDT, only the second match during this yearâs Aus Open to do so, due to Djokovic going late and this womenâs match also long.
@TV.Cynic Isnât there some stipulation with OzTam, that requires codings (for a day) to be done by 2am? Otherwise the program wonât count? Might explain the rushed endings.
