I think my new tact is working with Sam Stosur,I will continue to not watch her matches at the AO

I am not happy with this draw. Petra, Woz, Venus, Serena, Vika all colliding. Why could half of them not be on the other side?

Glad Stosur won.

One thing is for sure, the top of the draw is holding up much better than the bottom did.
Petko is going down....

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

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.

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

Aussies come first!

It is the first round, you know!

One thing is clear. All the come-back kids from last year are not fairing well at the start of this year: Ana, Petko, Flavia and Lucic-Baroni all out in the 1st round and not even a hint of sizzle. :nono

 

[kskate2]

Venus is absolutely clubbing the ball. Up 3-0 :

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Nice to see Vee with this kind of form which won her the title at Auckland at the AO

 

[tented]

Aga takes the first set 6-3. :clap

 

[tented]

Giorgi is up 4-6, 6-2, 4-1 against Pennetta -- looks like another seed is about to go down.

 

[kskate2]

5-1 now. Camila serving for it

 

[tented]

Aga up a double break in the second, serving at 3-0.

 

[kskate2]

Flavia gets one break back 5-2

 

[tented]

Aga now cruising to victory, up 6-3, 5-0


[Side note: It's annoying that ESPN's online streams are so far behind real time.]

 

[tented]

Giorgi d. Pennetta (16) -- 4-6, 6-2, 6-3

Radwanska (6) d. Nara -- 6-3, 6-0

Great start for Aga. Cruising thru her OR. GO AGA ! This sport needs to see her name on that trophy.
