Australian Open 2023 [Women] - Grand Slam

Vekic won the toss and elected to receive, but Sabalenka holds.

She gets tight easily. I could see why she wouldn't want to be under the gun right away

 

[Moxie]

Yay!! I get Goodall and Mary Jo for the Saba match.

ESPN seems to think they make up for only showing half of the tournament.

 

[Moxie]

Sabalenka going wild. Fasten your seatbelts.

Vecic rocking the teenager-who-works-at-a-sodafountain look. Sabalenka wins the "who wore it best" with her big, broad shoulders. #moreintimidating

Indeed, a 7-8 minute game, and she still hasn’t held …

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Vekic with those DFs and still holds oh my

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This Match already

 

[Moxie]

This Match already

Exactly...my nerves!

 

[tented]

21 minutes, and they haven’t completed 3 games.

Donna looks like Barbie in her pink w/ a blonde pony.

 

[kskate2]

Donna broken to love. Not a good start for Barbie, down 3-1

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pam Shriver not a happy camper at present

 

[tented]

31 minutes, and we’re back on serve at 2-3.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Barbie stop going to the wheel house of Saba her bhand thanks

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

31 minutes, and we’re back on serve at 2-3.

We are all getting older by the minute in this match

 

[kskate2]

I don't know if Pammie is the right coach or advisor for a player w/ serve or mental issues. She suffered from the yips for awhile in her career.

 

[tossip]

I think we’re heading towards a Pliskova/Sabalenka SF.

Well Karolina is gone

 

[kskate2]

Well Karolina is gone

And went out meekly at that. It's funny how all these top ranked players where better results were expected, lost in straights (Iga, Garcia, Jess, Coco, Plisko)

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I will pay that return of serve Barbie just made with power
Nice weighted volley as well

 

[kskate2]

Saba w/ 6 aces already, How many DF's?
