If Ebden wins, will the doubles still be played or is it a dead rubber?

A small group of Aussie fans are flying the flag and getting into the Fanatic chants…they occasionally launch into the Rocky theme as well

It is very warm, probably high 20s or even low 30s …skies clear…but very hot on court, all teams are under umbrellas

Can you let us know what the weather is like. Is very humid, will that take a toll?

Lleyton is moving very well, and trying to keep this guy rallying as long as possible because in the end Yang's game breaks down, especially his back hand.

Is the tie being played on fast hard courts similar to the Australian Open, or slow hard courts similar to the US Open?

Lleyton looks to be finally over some of those foot problems, his movement is excellent and serving well which is always important for him

Lleyton serving at 4-3, Yang appears to have an ice pack under his right arm pit pressed against his rib cage

Thank you for the updates Kim. Much appreciated! How have you seen Lleyton's game today?

Lleyton really attacking any second serve he gets a look at. He is intense and very much up and about. His aggression is good

Yang tried swinging big in the last game but Hewitt served it out with a big ace and a roar toward his bench - a valiant effort from Yang who got warm applause from the crowd.
