Paula Badosa has won the Sydney Tennis Classic,she has defeated Barbora Krejcikova 63 46 76 (4).It is the Spaniard's third career title.

I watched the 3rd set of this match on the replay and the tennis was excellent. Both players look in fine form going into the AO.

Where is Kskate she is probably 'still getting over the shock of her win'

THIS!




Plus, I was making a lasagna. In case @the AntiPusher didn't know that takes the better part of a day to build the flavors and make it properly. All jokes aside, I'm happy for Madison. She looks focused this year which isn't always the case. Let's see if this translates to the big dance.

Whatever Keli, you pimped slapped me like Sidney Poitier aka Mr Virgil Tibbs did to the rich cotton field owner in the Heat of the Night. You owe me an atta boy. Jajaja..

Hit me up and I can give you a lasagna recipe I learned when I was a bachelor that takes less than 40 minutes..I taught it to both of my non cooking daughters when they were in college.

I'll look at your recipe, but I'm pretty sure, your quickie lasagna will not taste like my mine. With everything being done from scratch and no shortcuts like using store bought sauce and dried herbs and what not. The depth of flavor I build in the sauce alone takes 2 hours.

Oh, here's your attaboy...

Agreed. maybe if Madison wins the championship here @kskate2 will show more love. Again, ONLY if Sabalenka or Pliskova is on the other side of the net in the finals.

Sabalenka is still waiting for a visa on her serve?

Further to my post yesterday regarding the AO security officers telling the couple of fans to take off their Where I Peng Shaui tee shirts
Would you believe the reason why is there is a Chinese sponsor of the AO and they did not want to upset the Chinese sponsor?
Though there is a strong rumor that there could be a strong contingent of fans wearing Peng Shaui tee shirts at the Women's AO final this coming Saturday

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This news has just come from Craig Tiley,who has reversed the decision of banning Where Is Peng Shaui Teeshirts
They will allowed to be worn as long as the fans wearing them do not cause any disturbance and behave in a orderly manner

Nice to see them hanging out

Just the other day I was wondering whether or not they still keep in touch. That’s great. Thanks for sharing it.

 

[Hoergren]

How about the next gen - well cute she is - not?

 

[10isfan]

Olympia is adorable. I assume she’s getting paid by Nike to wear that outfit?

Congratulations to the No 1 seeds in the doubles final B.Krejcikova/K.Siniakova defeated A.Danilina/B.Haddah Maia 67 (3) 64 64 to win their first AO Doubles title!

Like the No 1 seed in the singles Ash Barty,the No 1 seeds in the doubles need to win the USO to complete a career slam in the doubles

 

[Hoergren]

Worth mentioning that the Tauson - vs Collins match has been chosen as one of the 7 best matches in this years AO - good for them.
