well obviously if they're playing it wasn't serious... it doesn't make sense really 
but regardless, good news he is playing tomorrow!

Re: Mark Playing - Aus. Open Legends Event - starting Sunday, 25th Jan 09
Really pleased Mark beat Wilander. We have him doing commentaries on E'Sport & he just talks so much rubbish at times 
Mark must be having so much fun as Leconte has so much personality and when he's playing anything like this you can see how much he's enjoying himself.
It was a great result for them to beat the Woodies, but if they're now playing Pat I'm torn 2 ways as I was a bit fan of Pats when he was playing. And think it's great that my favourite "Old" Aussies are now plaing in the Legends events.
As for someone asking whether it's a RR. As far as I know all the oldies t'ments are RRs and the winners of each group play each other in the final.

Re: Mark Playing - Aus. Open Legends Event - starting Sunday, 25th Jan 09
woo hoo!!!
the organisers have bumped the legends final onto rod laver after the mens semi finals!!!
fingers crossed Rafa does it in 3 so we get to FINALLY see Mark & Henri in action!
OMG i'm so excitied, i was hoping they'd do this - i was think last night it would've been more entertaining then that Cash/Wilander singles match.
...............ok so excitment short lived... ch7's coverage only goes till 9.30 so i think they cut to a movie straight after the single match...

Re: Mark Playing - Aus. Open Legends Event - starting Sunday, 25th Jan 09
It's still 44c out my way but the cool change has well and truely hit Melbourne. Major parts of Melbourne are out of power though and rail lines stopped. I hope that Melbourne Park / Channel 7 have large long-term generators!
It's likely there will be major blackouts throughout the suburbs as they try to share load the powr outages now so knowing my luck, Channel 7 will decide to show the legends match and I wont have any power to watch it. I tell you though if that happens and it's still hot, to hell with the water restrictions I say, I am going to sit under the shower for 30 mins and keep cool

unless of course you like verdasco and you want him to win in 3 instead :P lol
it would be awesome if we actually get to see it. surely aussie tennis takes preference over a movie????? mind you, in brisbane we dont even get the mens semi final live, we get it an hour delayed because home and away is on at 7 our time, which is 8 melbourne time. so considering home and away takes preference over tennis, i cant see them showing it

Re: Mark Playing - Aus. Open Legends Event - starting Sunday, 25th Jan 09
well this may be a classic 5 setter.. or a very long 3/4 setter, it's already 9.30 so maybe they might stay with the tennis instead.

Due the the length of Nadal/Verdasco match, Mark's match has been cancelled.

Re: Mark Playing - Aus. Open Legends Event - starting Sunday, 25th Jan 09
The legends doubles final has been cancelled.
It will probably be rescheduled for tomorrow or Sunday if not cancelled completely.
We should have known ... 2 spaniards... best of 5 sets... many hours of tennis viewing 
I'm hoping for a Federer vs Nadal final for Sunday. I want to see a super match.

I think this would mean something special more so to Mark than to Pat with all that Mark has been through the past few years so I think he deserves the extra cheers
