And of course, Ferrell had to sign off in classic Ron Burgundy fashion: "Stay classy, Melbourne!"

"Probably a vampire", Ferrell said.

Ferrell is no stranger to sports broadcasts, as most of you would be well aware. "It is delicious. The national food of Australia". "I don't know about you guys, but I enjoyed it". They are an wonderful crowd, but does it get annoying when they just scream: 'c'mon Roger.

Roger Federer has disclosed his probable schedule for 2018, listing all the major hard and grass court tournaments and hinting that he is likely to give the clay courts a miss again this year.
