Absolutely horrendous sportsmanship from the Aussies, never seen anything like it.

 What happened? 

Randomally kicked off at the end of the last TB, they were screaming right down the court after Rajeev missed a sitter. Then every second serve afterwards the non returner was shuffling about massively in an attempt to put the returner off (Joe double faulted the first time).

Receiving partner jumping around and I think one of them made a derogatory comment after Ram missed a easy backhand volley.

Jamie and Bruno playing well after a shaky start. Jamie looks old now! Heck! And Bruno.

The faster courts suit them though , their games are much more attuned as it allows for more attacking returns and sharper net play. Lets see but looking ok at the moment

 Bruno is verging on 40 and sun exposure is very ageing. Does Jamie still have his beard? I definitely thought that made him look older.

 He does, its quite a tight beard though. And short hair - I think - under his cap. Jamie looks like captain of his team today, looks sharper and on his game more than Ive seen in a while.

Hadnt realised, Bruno got appendicitis on the flight to Tokyo, had to have surgery and been off until a week or two before US Open. Lost a lot of weight and really just recovering.

Hes flying this trip with his 6 year old son, Noha, just a boys trip.

Good man and makes their performance so far all the more creditable

For a player who I think historically has been quite lucky, Bruno has had a time of it this year, because he missed a bunch of time during the spring I think with his back?
