It certainly wouldn't be the Australian Open without some odd scheduling and commentary decisions from Eurosport. At least one can watch two unseeded players on Court 17 if you wish, unlike other tennis broadcasters.
Surprised to hear Mile Maclagan on some of the overnight commentary, he is usually the main male co-commentator on the night sessions. Guess he has been surpassed by the likes of Henman, WIlander, McEnroe and the new one. On a similar note, a slight shame that Frew McMillan never got an on-air goodbye from the Eurosport commentary.
Rachel Stringer just making her Cube debut now - in matching clothes with Barbara Schett onsite! The amount of giggling in the studio is down by 100% compared to Alizé Lim's tenure.
The new graphics look very nice. I really liked the old ones but they did feel like they were coming to the end of their natural lifespan. The new ones are certainly in the spirit of the old ones - not a bad thing!
