The first Grand Slam of the tennis season is going on in Melbourne, Australia, and The Times’ Diane Pucin is there covering it, now that the Tour Down Under (better known as Lance’s return) is over.
And her lead off the men’s match that happened while many of us on the West Coast were sleeping (and posted on latimes.com.sports at 4:19 this morning) tells you all you need to know:
‘There was nothing James Blake could do better than Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Monday night at the Australian Open.’
But the time difference isn’t always easy for viewers in the U.S. who might still want to watch the match. Here’s the answer: ESPN2 is airing a taped version of the Tsonga-Blake match -- it started at noon Pacific time.
Tuesday morning’s (Australia time) matches are on live at 4 p.m. PST on the Tennis Channel. And ESPN2 picks up live coverage at 6:30 tonight. Also, Look for Diane’s posts on The Fabulous Forum all week long from the Open.
