2018 Australian Open, Melbourne - WTA GRAND SLAM

[GameSetAndMath]

There were only six players with a chance to reach #1 at the end of AO. I don't know why you are showing ten rows.

An AO is never complete without Samantha Stosur losing in a show court and embarrassing all the local fans. Fortunately, I did not see it this year as it was a late match.

Perhaps they should try putting her in court #921. Then, there is some chance she may actually win it.

Venus never lost to Svetana in AO. The Pironkova losses came at Wimby. She has lost some AO early rounders to Konta, Maka, CSN and now Belinda. I don't think Venus is really prepared. She normally comes down and plays Auckland which gives her over 2 weeks to get adjusted to the conditions. This year she skipped Auckland and plays Sydney going out in the first round. Not very much prep time to get ready for the first slam of the year.

By the way, the commentators all claim the surface is playing fast this year and they worry about it being a hindrance to defensive players like Woz and Simona.

Venus did lose to Pirru at that time Tsvetana was new on tour..it was a very hot day and Venus was wearing yellow..it was so frustrating match to watch ...that year she went on to win Wimbledon..it must be 2008.

Are you talking about that year she retired? She came out and played one game of a match and then told the crowd that she couldn't continue.

Great job, Madison!

Simona was out there getting bossed again by a teenager. She ends up winning the 1st set breaker w/o a clothes sponsor. Now she rolls her ankle and is getting an MTO

 

[Moxie]

It didn't look swollen when they were taping it, so hopefully OK.

We are not hearing from him! Hope he did not have a heart attack! (just kidding).

I thought it was over.

Caro!

What happened to Sania Mirza? She is neither in the doubles draw nor in the mixed doubles draw. Did she retire or producing baby or injured?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kerbie next plays Maria. That is the end of doping girl.

Kerbie next plays Maria. That is the end of doping girl.

It will be a close match, but Kerbie looks in fine form and she will run Maria all around the court and expose her movement.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OK. I found out. Sania is injured . I ran through the MD draw quickly. Not a single pair was interesting.

Madison Keys is wearing the one Nike kit I do like this outing, and I've seen in on a few others. Petal pink, with shorts. Very nice. And Go, Maddy!
