Nationalism related violence?

Should there be mention of some of the violence associated with certain fans in this year's Open? It's all over the Aussie news. People throwing stink bombs, being ejected, arrested for setting off flares... I'm not sure whether previous years have had their fair share of troublemakers or not, but I feel this is notable. Thoughts? - tbone (talk) 07:51, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Resolved

– After the idea of Alvarez

Should there be really two sections which cover exactly the same thing? These are the sections "Singles Seeds" and "Seeded players status". I think one of them should be removed. Armbrust (talk) 22:15, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If there's no objection, then i will remove the "Singles Seeds" section on 27 January. Armbrust (talk) 11:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remove. Aaroncrick (talk) 11:11, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "Single Seeds" section follows form with several other grand slam pages. The "Seeded Players Status" seems to just be helpful while the tournament is going on. RiddleMe98 (talk) 12:05, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remove, of course. Singles Seeds = Seeded player status. Remove infos from section "Singles Seeds" and change name "Seeded player status" to "Singles Seeds". Good solution. Alvarez. 27 Jan 10'.

Singles' seeds w/ points table

I like this a lot. It shows you the performances of each of the seeds in terms of how they are reflected in their rankings. This is quite useful since for the two-week duration of a Grand Slam tournament, no update is done on the official rankings. So at least there's a way to track down how the rankings of the players rise and dip as the tournament progresses. One might also include a column for the prize money gained. Maybe this section can be included in succeeding Grand Slam tournaments. I'm not a fan of the color though, might be too strong for the eyes. Joey80 (talk) 01:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the colouring is way too strong, can anyone suggest/implement lighter colours? Feudonym (talk) 08:29, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I get the whole out thing but who is in? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.57.113.226 (talk) 01:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Points?

The points section in this article clearly shows Novak Djokovic ending up with more points than Nadal. But Djokovic's article contradicts this: "Had Djokovic won the match and reached the semi-finals, he would have replaced Nadal as world #2. However, the #2 ranking is still possible for Djokovic if Murray does not win the Australian Open." Which is it? 68.200.98.166 (talk) 03:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or does it mean that Djokovic and Murray will end up 2 and 3 (not necessarily in that order) and Nadal relegated to 4 either way? 68.200.98.166 (talk) 03:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

error

I believe this is incorrect: "In the singles competition, Roger Federer and Serena Williams were the defending champions."

Rafael Nadal was the defending champion, as he won the tournament in 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.24.231.144 (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Murray and Del Potro seeding

Throughout the article Juan Martin Del Potro is listed as the [4] seed. In some places Andy Murray is listed as the [4] seed and in others he is listed as the [5] seed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.217.96 (talk) 04:30, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
