[britbox]

It will be interesting to see what Sloane brings to the table against Vika.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Or Taylor against Caro.
I am also interested in Vera vs. Ons, the winner will most probably get Serena in the next round.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

It will be interesting to see what Sloane brings to the table against Vika.

It will be an interesting match, but one with no consequence. Does not matter who wins.
The winner will be eaten alive by Caroline Wozniacki in the very next round.

Is Caroline channeling Rafa?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am refusing to watch Stosur's match,quite frankly I dont need the grief.

 

[golds girl]

I am refusing to watch Stosur's match,quite frankly I dont need the grief.

She always works herself into some kind of state when she plays at home and ends up losing early.
Would be nice to see a change but I'm not holding my breathuzzled

It makes me sad. Stosur in Australia is like Safina in a GS final.

[split] Australian Open Day 2: Tuesday, January 20

Hell Serena can't even get Center Court with her 18 majors including her 5 AO more than all of those who got Center Court and who will be playing on CC on Tuesday. SMH. Unfrigging believable.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ I was also a Safina fan,I dont know why I tend to follow HeadCases

 

[tented]

It's ridiculous they didn't put her on Rod Laver.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The only reason maybe Serena is on Margaret Court Arena,this is a new constructed court with a new roof? though I must say I was surprised she wasnt on Rod Laver Arena.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I Agree. I don't know why they put Shelby Rogers on RLA. Many would not even have
heard her name. I know she is playing an aussie. But that aussie is also unknown aussie.

That Aussie is a transplant. She's originally from an Eastern Block country.

It makes me sad. Stosur in Australia is like Safina in a GS final.

And to make matters worse, they put her on Laver. They have to know by now she struggles playing down there. Why not help your countrywoman out by taking a little of the pressure off on a smaller court like MCA or Hisense?

So it's even worse than we originally thought. :cover

So true. When down under, Stosur needs her matches to be played at an undisclosed location, with no witnesses.

Vika is channeling that 80's neon yellow Madonna used to wear. :cover
