Rybakina had a great week in Adelaide making the final,lets see how she fares in Sydney this week

What the hell is going on with Sabalenka and her serving? last week she hit 18DFs in 2 sets of tennis
I was at work during the day yesterday,just reading about her game,from yesterday,where she was a one time 'underarm' serving?
Maybe she needs a 'serving coach' ASAP

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Found this comment from Mark Petchy,tennis commentator,who has been in Sydney commentating on the various tournaments,

Did Sabalenka's serve not get a Visa into Australia?
Too Soon?....................................LOL! that was Gold Mark!

Elena Rybakina has withdrawn from Sydney Tennis Classic with a left thigh injury

I assumed Sabalenka had hurt her shoulder. If not, why the underarm serve?

No she told the umpire who asked if she was okay.....Sabalenka said it was a 'technical problem' she served 21 DFs in that match against Peterson

Another great day at the office - Jabeur takes her first win over Oh Petra - who actually was playing her best match this year - but Jabeur was in her mixed mode and was able to produce some fantastic cross court and a tweener - well done

 

[Hoergren]

Well - even Ons Jabeur bites the dust. After a first set she had to retire with an Injury losing to good friend Anett Kontaveit. Trainer out for Ons Jabeur during the set break. Jabeur said yesterday she still wasn’t 100% after her abbreviated/interrupted pre-season.
