Australian Open 2008

Looking at some LIVE pictures from Melb on TV, how come the courts are Blue now?

Very Happy to see that Andy Murray has been knocked out of the open in the 1st round by a Frenchman ranked #38

As an Englishman, I would still support any Scot in any sport bar that man.
After his negative comments about lending his support to England in the World Cup after Scotland again failed to qualify.
I doubt if he is too upset about my comments though 5555

Federer v Djokovic tonight should see the winner of the tournament. Can't see the young Tsonga handling the pressure of a Final. I could be wrong though!
