I see you can watch live on their website! Hmm, IT is going to be knocking on my door soon :twisted::D

SA's Kevin Anderson is already through.
 
**** yes. This is like the first time I've been able to stream from an official source in South Africa. Hope it continues. Wonder what SS thinks?

Yes, strange. The stream quality is amazing. Watching it full screen on a HD screen, not looking bad. DU meter shows it takes about 1 mbit/sec. I think I will only "tune in" at critical times before IT puts a block on this.
 
You can watch it on Supersport but you need a DSTV account or know someone who has, as it links to a Smartcard number. Alternatively, you can watch it here. It's quite nice, as you can select which matches you want to watch.

I usually switch between the two, depending on what matches are being broadcasted. Federer and Nadal are also expectedly through to the next round.

Caught some footage of Baghdatis going crazy, what was that about?

yeah, I caught a bit of it on blitz, I only saw him smashing his racquet. what was that all about? he seemed pretty upset :D
 
He actually smashed 4 rackets - the one he was playing with and 3 new ones that were still in packaging.
