Australian Open 2022 [Women] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

If she can hold it together, Sabalenka is up a break in the 3rd.

Wang caught the DF bug from Sabalenka,she had to win her previous match in 3 sets.Quite frankly her days are numbered,she is still around because her draw has been weak,wait till she comes up against a stronger opponent.Sabalenka 19 DFS

No one thought she'd turn that train wreck back around, but Sabalenka did. Wang played great. I wish I could say that was an entertaining match, but it was mostly just painful.

Good to see WC Aussie Madison Inglis who backed up her win against Leylah Fernandez by defeating Baptiste in 3 sets.

I was rooting for the fellow DC girl Baptiste, but nice win for the Aussie.

Hi Tossip! she injured her hand just before the AO and had to withdraw

Aww...compliments of the season Margaret

 

[Ellentonboy]

She is going DOWN

Well you are entitled to your opinion, but you certainly got the Muguruza and Kontaveit predictions wrong......just saying.

 

[Ellentonboy]

You're allowed to be pro-Giorgi. Just whisper your cheers during this match when @MargaretMcAleer is around.

Yeah I let her (or him) know that the predictions regarding both Muguruza and Kontaveit were wrong, so Camilla still has a chance.

I am Human okay where are your predictions by the way? except for Camila defeating Ash?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I was only kidding, please don't be offended. I don't often make predictions because I end of jinxing my favorites. I especially am fond of Giorgi for non-tennis reasons. I follow her matches and results closely. I am also a fan of Hsieh, but since she is not at the AO this year I have few female players to cheer for.

 

[Ellentonboy]

Well - it was Kontaveit who couldn't find her gameplay - or rather she was not allowed to it. A brilliant match from Tauson. Tauson now #32 in the live rankings. Now it's interesting to see how it goes in doubles later today with Allison Von Uytvanck.

I don't see her getting past Danyella Collins, tbh. Collins is just too tough on hard courts, but I guess anything is possible.

No, no I won't quote you, I'm a nice guy. It should be a good match, each having a great opportunity to reach R4.
