Re: Last Match on Laver opening Monday…

Throw Australia’s own John Millman vs Feliciano Lopez on there and have another men’s matchup replace their match in John Cain Arena.

I don’t see anyone beating Barty. Mens side Medvedev I guess.


Barty's just so crafty. Even when someone else is overpowering her, she finds a way to mix things up. She is, and should be, the favorite for this tournament.

Badosa, Keys, Halep, Osaka, Gauff, and Krejcikova all have the game to knock off Barty. Only Gauff in that group might be a little shy of having what it takes to win 7 straight.

I don't think that anyone else, including Garbiñe & Kerber, has what it takes to win 7 straight in Melbourne. And that also includes all Slam winners in the field plus the Gold medal B(encic).

No prediction, but Camilla Osorio Serrano is tugging at my heartstrings.  Sarona Cirstea and Angie Kerber have some competition for my affectionate fandom.

Barty on the women, and in a shocker, Zverev the wife beater in the men’s.

1) “Allegedly” a beater of his lady or ladies.

2) He’s never been married, so is he accused of beating someone else’s wife?

3) With his len’th, he can dole out a forehand or a backhand from just about anywhere in the room.

4) Agree that the two tall Russians, Zverev (via Germany) and Medvedev (via Monte Carlo), are the favorites over the half-Russian (via Greece, by way of Monte Carlo) Tsitsipas, the calf-Russian (via Israel) Karatsev, the fly-weight Russian Rublev,  or the maple-Russian (via Canada) Shapovalov.

Though I would love it if the chocolate croissant (aka pan au chocolate) banging the White Russian (via Ukraine) Svitolina won the whole sh-bang! Gael Monfils won 9 days ago Down Under and he’s playing with a smile.

Coco making a bid to go home on day 1. Already down a set to Wang

Living at home/being home schooled or being out on the WTA circuit , I don’t think that Coco has a lot of experience dealing with Wangs yet. 

American Cressy just choked away a primo opportunity to win the first set. Nadal takes it 7-6(6).

Well that’s awkward. 

Where in the hell is the LIVE TENNIS?

 I was looking on my phone and found a match in Melbourne and thought, okay, time to finish my midnight snack and watch some tennis.

Kenin did much better than I had anticipated. I was thinking more along the lines of 6-2, 6-1.

It was straight sets, but the first set went to a tie-breaker, 7-6, 7-5.

With Madison serving like this, anyone can lose. This is from her last service game to win the match.

While focusing on the Australian Open, I think that it's also a perfect time to take in a little Australian culture.

I've never been to Australia, but I may check out one or more of these films.

Happy to see both Mr. & Mrs. Monfils-Svitolina in the 3rd round. 

There are occasionally couples on tour (not talking about lesbians), but I can’t recall a married couple both ranked in the Top 32 for a Grand Slam.

Elina’s opponent was retired by the chair at 1-5 in the third yesterday because she literally couldn’t walk. Never seen that before. 

They had to do Elina’s on-court interview while the other girl was still getting treatment on her bench.
