Anywhere with cable. One of the South African (Super Sport) channels has it on from start to finish every day.

You could go to melbourne..........my mothers got a spare room.
Or come to my pizza shop , we have a very large tv there.
Its on all day on Aussie tv........now that jelena dokic's loss..........well its a shame l have turn the tv over.,

Jelena Dokic's captivating Australian Open run finally came to an end on Tuesday night with a gallant quarter-final loss to Russian juggernaut Dinara Safina.

In six heady days, and against all odds, the 187th-ranked Dokic has resurrected her career and restored order in her turbulent life with a series of emotional and lion-hearted displays - on and off the court.

Apart from being assured of a return to the world's top 100 for the first time since 2004, the 25-year-old picked up a desperately-needed $182,500 cheque

Ah not exactly a favour to world tennis that 4 players have had to retire due to "sickness" though Goldcoaster. I always thought sport should be a contest of skill rather than endurance (unless it is the Marathon of course!!).
Agree that Dokic displayed all the enthusiasm & effort that is normally exhibited by Aussie sports persons. I was unaware of her previous "problems" before watching & certainly hope that all her personal demons are behind her now. Women's' tennis seems littered with "girls" (no insult intended) who have achieved their best by 25 (which must be an horrific position to look back on when you are only 30) before personal problems, physical and physiological, engulf them!!!

Goldcoaster, what a tempting offer 8) Australia is not so for from here i guess :mrgreen:
That pizza shop, where is it located?
Im going to the Charoen hotel today so im hoping i have acces to sports channel and Australian Open>

I just read that it will be bloody hot today in Melbourne with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celcius, will be a test now for the endurance i guess...
Indeed it s a shame about the retirements :?
But what a performance by dokic after so long away =D> , a shame she lost, just imagine her getting into the final...

They had to close the sliding roof because of the hot 40+ temps and Serena Williams prevailed in a three set match. She wasn't handling the withering temperatures very well and looked like Kuznetsova would win in an upset earlier. 8-[

Re; PED's (performance enhancing drugs). At the 2000 Olympics it was easily apparent to both Me and 'Blind Freddy' that Marion Jones was on something!! Shock Horror it all comes out years later!! Now have a look at a couple of the androgenic looking women in the finals!! If only 'Blind Freddy' was on the Anti-Doping Committee.
