December 30, 20186 yr We’re back, kids. Brisbane draw pdf Haven’t found the pdf for Auckland yet, Shenzhen is already underway. Let’s ride.
December 30, 20186 yr Author Of course here is Auckland right after I post that. http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/draws/2019/1049/MDS.pdf
December 30, 20186 yr Ferrer and Zverev playing a very high quality match right now in the Hopman cup. In my opinion the Australian swing is the best part of the year, even more than the US swing in the summer.
December 31, 20186 yr Serena beat Sakkari in straights today in the Hopman Cup. She usually doesn’t try in exhibition matches so I was surprised she won it Edited December 31, 20186 yr by perfectchaos007
January 1, 20196 yr Author Venus over Vika in 3 in Auckland. Just absolutely amazes me how rarely anyone mentions Venus’ shrieks, she is clearly louder than Maria or Vika.
January 1, 20196 yr In Hopman Cup news, Federer beat Tiafoe in straights while Serena defeated Bencic in three. Doubles decider happening now.
January 2, 20196 yr Author Welp, we made it all the way to January 2 before we get Rafa’s first withdrawal of the season. We shoud set an O/U, I’m thinking 6.5.
January 4, 20196 yr Yeah I've been watching. Too bad Anisimova couldn't pull out the win, she had all the momentum late then blew it like the Auckland wind
January 4, 20196 yr Author Back-to-back wins for 18-year old Bianca Andreescu over Caro & Venus in Auckland.
January 4, 20196 yr First major upset of the year, Roberto Batista-Agut knocked out Djokovic in Qatar.
January 6, 20196 yr Author Sabalenka beat Vekic to win Shenzhen last night. Andreescu v. Julia at 12:30 tonight in the Auckland final. KP v. Tsurenko at 1 for the Brisbane title. They also draw each other in R1 of Sydney. http://wtafiles.wtatennis.com/pdf/draws/2019/702/MDS.pdf Edited January 6, 20196 yr by spystud13
January 6, 20196 yr i'm trying to make it to 12:30 for the auckland final but i've gotten 15 total hours of sleep in 2019.
January 6, 20196 yr Author Genie & Kenin just won the Auckland doubles crown after getting served an opening set breadstick.
January 6, 20196 yr Author The kid keeled over with a break lead in the second, got boatraced from there. Hot Julia with the breadstick for the title.

Konta & Puig aren’t names you normally see with LL next to them. Petra v. Sabalenka in R1 is dirty.
January 6, 20196 yr Barty has been playing well lately apparently Edited January 6, 20196 yr by perfectchaos007
January 7, 20196 yr AO qualifying draw is up. Surely this is the last time Andreescu has to qualify for a slam.
January 8, 20196 yr Author On 1/6/2019 at 1:37 PM, spystud13 said: Petra v. Sabalenka in R1 is dirty. Petra wins. Probably best for Aryna to get some rest after Shenzhen.
January 8, 20196 yr Sloane gets bageled in the fist set and wins the next 2 in tiebreaks to win her first match in Sydney.
January 8, 20196 yr Author That was a goddamn AWFUL match. Alexandrova fell up a break & 30-0 in the second, then the whole thing just unraveled. The last half of the 3rd was not a good look for the sport.

January 8, 20196 yr Author 56 UEs for the Rooskie, 46 for Sloane. Davenport could barely keep it together, she really wanted to rip both players.
January 8, 20196 yr Sloane usually doesn't put her best foot forward in smaller tournaments so in my head I'm imagining Sloane trying hard to tank but still somehow accidentally winning due to her opponent somehow playing even worse
January 9, 20196 yr Author Ha, Sloane basically did the exact opposite of her last match this time. 6-3, 6-7, 0-6. Didn’t see it, can’t imagine she really busted her ass in the third.
January 10, 20196 yr Author The AO draw is out, but I can't find the fucking pdf versions to start the thread. Genie is lined up for Serena in R2, winner should get Simona in the 4th.

January 11, 20196 yr Author Andy says there’s a good chance this is his last tourney. Would rather retire at Wimbly, but isn’t sure he can even make it there. Damn, that’s a bad hip injury.

Murray's technically Scottish, yeah? Englishmen and Scots are natural enemies.
January 11, 20196 yr Wow had no idea Murray’s injury was that severe. That’s terrible. Loved his style of play.
