Australian Open 2024 [Women] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

Tough first set with Woz winning a breadstick - which doesn't tell anything about the tough play
View attachment 9123

The youngster is making it tough for Caroline, she loves to play the ball one more time, thank goodness Caroline is a good athlete and is quick around the court

Mirra Andreeva 5-0 in 15 minutes against Ons Jabeur and this isnt a joke!
Mirra hands a bagel to her idol Ons! in 20 mins,!
Ons coach giving her plenty of advice in the break, Ons didnt see that steam train coming in Mirra, lets see how she responds?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Caroline is as tough as "Nails"
I wish I could say the same about One Jabeur

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

16 yo Mirra Andreeva is just routing Ons Jabeur off the court 5-1 2nd set and 6-0 in the 1st

 

[kskate2]

Gurl, Ons is getting spanked by someone who shouldn't know how to give one, only to receive one.

 

[Hoergren]

And it goes 3 and stats show how Timofeeva has upped her game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

16 yo Mirra Andreeva gets her first Top 10 win and destroys Ons Jabeur in 54 mins 60 62 ( her idol btw) Mirra continues to impress well done young lady!
Ons needs to take a break from tennis, she hasnt been the same player mentally or physically since Wimbledon in 2023

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Play hopefully on outside courts at 2pm around 1 hr from now

 

[kskate2]

Woz down a break in the decider. She needs to be more aggressive and come to net. She's far too passive and it has opened the door for the youngster.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh Caroline!

 

[kskate2]

Wow. Woz blown off the court in the decider. She ran quickly off the court after the handshake.

 

[Hoergren]

Well congrats to the youngster - we'll see much more from her - but Woz is playing ok just need some matches - yeah actually thinks she played well

Come back "kid"

It wouldn't surprise me if we look back at the Andreeva-Jabeur match in the same light as Sampras-Wilander at the 1989 US Open.

Andreeva has arrived, and will probably win a slam within the next year.

Hold your horses the 16 yo is good for her age, she still has a way to go to win a slam, at 16 she is limited to how many tournaments she can play,. Ons was worse today on court than her loss at Wimbledon 2023, Ons needs a break from tennis, she didnt have a pre warm up before the AO and is showed big time, she is mentally and physically worn

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

There were 8 Mums started in the AO draw
As of now, three still left
Azarenka
Svitolina '
Maria

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Sun is out and all outside courts are now in play

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good to see Amanda Anisimova winning 62 63 over Podorska in just over 1 hour, she advances to the 3rd of the AO for the 3rd time plays the winner of Badosa- Pavs

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good win from Alycia Parks who takes out the 32 seed Leylah Fernandez, when Parks serve is 'on' hard to return, I had a good feeling she would beat Fernandez it was close, Parks winning 75 64
Parks will play Gauff next

 

[Vince Evert]

Wow. Woz blown off the court in the decider. She ran quickly off the court after the handshake.

Is Caroline out of the AO ? Oh Good Grief, kskate2. That's three former winners ousted in the opening rounds in as many days. Awwww, tough for the tournament to loose all three let alone in the first round. It would have been huge romantic boost for the tournament, worldwide audience, if either Naomi, Angelique or Caro could have at the very least made it to the second week and maybe a shot at the title. Awwww....

This Stat!

The 16 year old Mirra Andreeva is the youngest player in history to bagel a Top Ten Seed at a major #AO
