Australian Open 2025 [Women] - Grand Slam

[MargaretMcAleer]

I need a break from Saba's match, she does my head in when she over plays
Going 3 sets in the Tauson v Noskova match, Clara winning the 2nd set 63, and Linda winning the 1st set 75

It's a sloppy match. If Scone hit one more volley right back to Saba, I will be reaching thru this flat screen real soon.

I could not take it either and went to watch Tauson v Noskova,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Clara gets the break and will serve for the match 5-4 in the 3rd set, these quick conditions suit her game,
Well played Clara in a tight 3 set match defeating the 29th seed Linda Noskova 57 63 64!

 

[Hoergren]

Well she did it again with style

Order of Play for Australian Open, Day 2 Round 1, January 12, 2025

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bencic v Ostapenko, Osta has been a bit of a 'train wreck' in her lead up tournaments at the AO
Osaka v Garcia? again lol! for the 4th time in 12 months !, I wonder if Osaka's abdominal/lower back injury has fully healed, I cant back Garcia, she was awful, before she decided to end her 2024 season early
I hope Coco is aware of the Kenin factor, though she has played well after changing coaches late last year, and has looked sharp at the United Cup for USA,

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Gauff played her best set of tennis, serving out the 1st set 63, finished with an Ace, over Kenin
Both players struggled with their serves, at times with the sun, Kenin is hard to read, you dont know at times where she will place the ball.
I think Coco will be glad she dismissed Kenin in straight sets 63 63, a difficult player at the best of times.Coco needs to work on her 2nd serve, which let her down at times in this match, going forward in the tournament

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bronzetti defeats the 21st seed Azarenka in straight sets 62 76(2)
Reached the 2nd week in 2024, will drop in the rankings

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Into the AO R2 for the 7th straight time Belinda Bencic on her 6th MP defeats the No 16th seed Jelena Ostapenko 73 76(6)

You were right Caroline has been on the desk at ESPN at the AO, she was interviewing Jannik Sinner after his match

 

[don_fabio]

Osaka - Garcia, these two again.

 

[Hoergren]

What a match
