The Australian Open situation is coming to a boil quickly. The players, the tournament, and the government are all mad at each other.

Absolute SMOKE SHOW!!!!!!!!

Absolute genetic lottery winner right here.
 

EDIT: After looking her up, I've discovered that she is not nearly as smoking hot as she appears to be in the tweet photo above.

This is her Wikipedia (camel) photo. (Someone is having a laugh about this photo.)

This tatted trash should be escorted to the nearest plank over shark-infested waters.

Wow 2nd year in a row the Houston event was cancelled due to Covid. Meanwhile Anisimova was forced to withdraw from the Australian Open

This is a good idea. 

 

[gsoda3 3362]

This is a good idea. 
 

Who's going to host it?

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Melbourne Park, there’s two simultaneous tourneys there from 1/31-2/6 already. They got plenty of courts. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

It’s actually a pretty cool setup. 

Quote

The concurrent WTA 500 events will feature a 64 player draw, with the top-32 ranked players split across the two events to determine the Top 16 seeds, and the remaining players will be randomly drawn into each event.

The Covid Open is a reality!

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

This is how the top 16 players are split up for the two tourneys starting Sunday. 
 

 

That top one is dirty. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Novak was supposed to headline an exhibition in Adelaide against Jannik Sinner, but of course not. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

And now look at Novak with the jokes.

Ha, great minds & shit.

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

The lack of masks in the almost-full stands is quite striking.

Gippsland draw pdf, Yarra ain’t up yet. 

http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/draws/2021/2029/MDS.pdf

If Aryna wins this one too... 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Sorana, can't believe some of them didn't even have a window. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

This is where we need the bonus channels. TC has coverage at 5:30 this afternoon. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

WTA finally got the Yarra pdf fixed. 

http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/draws/2021/2026/MDS.pdf

[perfectchaos007 6780]

At least TC has decided to show feisty Dani's match

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

They started with Osuigwe, that was a fucking rout. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

We’ll take 3 & 3 for the top-heavy one 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Caty McNally has entered the Gippsland singles draw as LL, while already being in the Yarra doubles draw with Coco. Crazy shit these days. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Caty playing 2 tournaments simultaneously is some 2020-2021 shit. She's up a set and a break in singles atm

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Didn't realize until after I posted, but Coco is too. 

This Rogers match is fucking awful, hopefully she ends it now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Gauff on TC now. 

Covid Cup draw is out, starts Wednesday. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

2 & 1 for Miss Danielle today. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

4 breaks so far in this 3rd set between Gauff and Teichmann. Both ladies very nervy

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

This match is SLOW. Same as her girl Caty last night, who's playing again now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Welp, breaker for the match. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Definition of survival.

That did not go well, ate a double breadstick. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Caty needed more time to recover from yesterday's marathon. Gauff plays the sexy Brit at the top of this page tomorrow.

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Tsvetana’s a little heavier up top as a mom too. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Sofia/Camila at 6 our time sure sounds fun. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Please, please leave this ATP Cup match in a few minutes. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Not ideal, but here's a stream. 

http://live.jokerswidget.com/streamvideo13/giorgi-c-ita-vs-kenin-s-usa-live-stream-5348631.html

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

From 3-0 Sofia to 4-3 Camila. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

fuck you TC. Show us the conclusion of the Kenin/Giorgi set!

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Back & forth set, but Sofia closes it out. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Giorgi retires against Kenin. Hopefully she heals up in time for the AO

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

That’s one of the healthier retirements you’ll see. 

 

Bianca pulled out of the Covid Cup too.

[perfectchaos007 6780]

Wow Boulter is a 5:1 dog in this match. She's up a break

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

She looks so little, especially in this pullover. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Damn, Aryna ate a first set breadstick from Kanepi. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Boulter forces 3, because of course. 

Aryna about to do the same. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Coco serving to stay at 2-5 back on TC. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16253]

Helluva job, Katie.
