I think @britbox got it right when pointing out they gave her a WC right after she made a donation to help the firefighters.

I think that was for the Brisbane International she got a wild card there,I could be wrong.Being a former AO champion I knew she would get a WC in the AO

Oh, I thought he was referring to the AO, but apparently I’m not remembering it correctly. My bad.

No worries,she went out in 1st rd at Brisbane and AO also her ranking is now 366?

Hey Tossip

 

[kskate2]

Anisomova about to wreck my draw

 

[tossip]

Hey Tossip

hey Margaret how are you...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Anisomova about to wreck my draw

I thought Amanda would win that match with ease.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

hey Margaret how are you...

Happy New Year to you,I am good hope you are as well.

 

[kskate2]

Yo @tossip ! How goes it?

 

[don_fabio]

Really surprised that Anisimova lost so early. I thought Vekic will choke against Dopeova, but she didn't. Well done. Both Vekic and Martic said their goal is top 10 this season, will see how that goes. I like Martic more.

I picked Anisimova and Vondrousa as the quarterfinalists from the last quarter and both are gone.

I was more devastated by how the NG's were wiped out in the 1st Rd. for the men! My new faves dropped like flies; Shapo, FAA, & Coric!

I feel that Dayana Yastremska (23) seed can defeat Caroline Wozniacki,she has a great change of direction,foot work is just a joy to watch,has plenty of time to play her shots,her 2nd serve can be her downfall,she just has to control her shots off both wings.

I am also interested to see how Coco Gauff plays Sorana Cirstea,I feel Gauff is more controlled in her game than Sorana.

The other higher seeds Serena,Barty,Osaka,should not have any trouble with their matches today ( I hope).

I picked Yastremska over Wozniacki in my draw. Was it here that Yastremska made a few rounds a year ago when she was only 15y old?

Though a player like Wozniacki on her farewell tournament might be a bit tough to break. Sometimes players find their mojo for the last push. Will be an interesting match.

I looked up her bio....her best results in GS were last year to date, in 2019,

AO 3rd Rd
French 1 Rd
Wimbledon 4 Rd
USO 3 Rd.

I looked her up too and found she is 19y old. Then something clicked in my head. It was Marta Kostyuk I was thinking about, she made R3 2 years ago in AO and she is now 17y old. It's hard to keep track of all these young women.

Indeed.

BTW Yastremska did defeat Woznicacki in Cincinnati in 2019.
