Hi all. The number of matches may have gone down, but comment volumes certainly haven't. Here's your latest Crisis Center so that you can carry on the tennis talk 24/7, with the night session coming up in a little over an hour's time. Please hold your OT chat until after the matches are over.

In the past hour we've seen Novak Djokovic retire from his match against Andy Roddick, down two sets to one and a break, and also affected by the heat on Rod Laver Arena. While it's perfectly natural to want to discuss what happened, we ask that, as usual, you all keep the discussions on the subject civilised.
