Australian Open, Melbourne, WTA GRAND SLAM

[MargaretMcAleer]

I am going for Venus to win,I think her experience will show in this match up,both ladies big strikers of the ball,aggressive,I want Venus to move to the net when possible,excellent volley player,with her wing span hard to get balls past her.

Coco and Garbine both have great serves and like to play offensive tennis.Coco took out No 1 player Kerber with ease in her last match,both ladies have to watch their margins,also UFE could be their downfall.I feel this match will go 3 sets,I am going with Garbine in a tough match,though it would not surprise me if Coco wins,just hope she does not have a let down after taking out Kerber.

Venus won the 1st like a boss. Oldest woman in the draw. Go V! I'm also pulling for Garbiñe, but would be happy for Coco.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Yay Venus,she is such a great Ambassador for Womens tennis she will play the winner of Coco and Garbine in the s/final

Well done Vee!

 

[Moxie]

Coco is on fire, and has the break in the 2nd.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco saves a break point while serving for the 1st set,winning 6-4
Garbine's serve at times,especially early on in the 1st set,let her down in critical times,she d/faulted to give Coco the break 4-3,still a close match no much in it,Coco's serve has given her the edge so far in the match.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco up a double break now in the 2nd set,leading 3-0,Garbines movement to me isnt good,her thigh is still strapped,also has tape on her arm.I cannot see Garbine coming back from this point.Coco is playing great tennis,like she did against Kerber in her last match.Garbine to me should have attacked Coco's bhand more her weaker side.

 

[Moxie]

Mugu has lost her way. I hope it's injury, tbh, because she is lost out there. And Coco is seeing the ball like a watermelon.

Coco administering a hiding. I've not been able to watch this match but was impressed with Coco against Genie and Kerber.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Coco wins 64 60,again with such ease,especially in the 2nd set,Garbine just had no answer at all.No let down at all,well done Coco! Coco will play Venus in the semi final.

 

[Moxie]

Coco was imperious. I'm going to be really torn between Coco and Venus.

I will be on Vee's side,still after watching Coco dismantle Angie and Garbine,I am a bit scared for Vee!

I'm with ya, but I do want good things for Coco, so it's hard to root against Venus. Here's a thought for you: it could yet be a Williams sisters final, and a Federer/Nadal final. "2008 called and they wondered what you've been doing all this time." LOL!

I will just take one match at a time I dont want to get ahead of myself I would prefer Rafa v Wawrinka....( just for the revenge factor I was there at the AO live for that match,nightmare.....

Venus and Serena final,I would love for Vee to win her first AO title.

I was just mostly going for the joke. It's WAAAY before time for all that. But I'm with you on both sentiments.
