Only one match tonight, and each of the next two nights as well. And then there will be zero grand slam matches per night for about four months, so make the most of these while you can.
Not Before 19:30
Roger Federer (SUI)[1] v. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA)[10]
I'll go out on not much of a limb and take Federer in 3.
Not a whole lot of buzz around this matchup, really, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't wake yourself up, pack into the comments and fill them with wonderfully insightful comments.

This one is really living up to my expectations…

6-2, 6-3 for Federer in one hour. Sigh.

This isn't really thrilling stuff
But it’s always nice to watch the mastery of Federer.

I would just like it if Tsonga could extend this mastery somewhat. There are practically sets that take as long as this three-setter will.

Yeah there are quite a few
Where Tsonga really doesn’t look like he’s giving it near 100%, maybe he just wants to get out of there.
Consider this a reply as for some reason my reply function won’t work!

I didn’t have anything else to do at 5 AM, so I figure it was time well spent.

At least these two finals look to be real possible classics.

Wow, that was a real cocky interview from Federer. Talking some uncharacteristic smack.

I beleive that there
is some real animosity between Federer and Murray. The final’s going to be great! Is it tomorrow or on Sunday?

Sunday, 7:30 PM Melbourne time, so 3:30 AM on the US east coast.

2:30 AM for me. Enough time to get home from a night out and come back and unwind with 3 hours of tennis before sleeping through Sunday.
Gotta love the Aussie.
Hockey blogging can't get any flatter.
8:30 for me
Far more civilised. Now you know how all us British boxing fans feel!

Federer played well
but Murray has Federer’s number on the tour, but can he produce it when it matters?
