Can you record foxsports 2 and 3 at the same time with IQ?

Leconte and Scud wipe out Woodies

Frenchman Henri Leconte stole the show on Show Court 3 on Sunday morning, teaming up with Mark Philippoussis to beat Mark Woodforde and Todd Woodbridge in the opening match of the Australian Open Legends Tournament.

In a thoroughly entertaining exhibition that had the crowd in hysterics, the duo dethroned Australia’s most successful doubles combination with a 4-6 7-6 win, taking the match 10-6 in a Super Tiebreak. Although the match did get serious at times, the majority of it captured the fun spirit of the Legends Tournament, with many long rallies and wacky shots attempted by the players.

Leconte, a former French Open finalist, pulled off numerous cheeky antics to distract the Woodies on court as he made strange noises, traded places with a linesman during the third game, and become a human target as he sat on the net midway through the second set. Fortunately, the Frenchman’s tactics were backed up by Philippoussis’ powerful serve with the Scud hammering seven aces and constantly exceeding 200km/h. Leconte hit two aces of his own late in the second set, serving while the Woodies weren’t ready for a 6-5 lead.

Both teams put jokes aside towards the business end of the match as it was forced into the Super Tiebreak. The Woodies bounced back from 6-2 down before Philippoussis produced a number of superb shots, taking the match with a brilliant forehand down the line.

Leconte attributed the buzz around Show Court 3 to his behaviour. “With a lot of people around me, champagne and beautiful women – I go crazy!” he said
