Day 1 AO

Post by rex » Jan Sat 13, 2018 12:30 pm

<i>Bottom half of the draw for the Ladies begins tomorrow evening here in the States (6 p.m. Midwest), top half of the men's draw. The AO has changed it's format for the schedules, each match is formed in a box (don't like it). However, if the boxed format contains the sets with a stats link to the matches, then that's fine. If not, the new format reeks. Attached is the schedule for Day 1:

<a href="https://ausopen.com/schedules">https:// ... hedules</a>

Matches of Interest for me:

lst up is Taylor v Ribby, tho' it conflicts with Petra M's match with VanU' and Ostapenko's match with Schi'. Really wanted to watch in toto Taylor's, Petra M's and Jello's matches.

Followed by Venus v Belinda B.
Cibby's match with Kanepi has upset written all over it and it is the 2nd match on Show Ct. 2, conflicting with Venus' match with BB. (sigh)...

The Dog (Dolgopolov) v Haider-Mauer....just enjoy watching the Dog regardless of who he plays. Yet, he's lst up on Ct. 19 conflicting with Taylor's, Petra M's and Ostapenko's matches.

Prepared to watch tennis 'til 1 a.m. this year. No more matches beyond this time, unless Petra K. and/or Naomi are playing semis and/or finals. Yet, clearly disappointed that for 7 hrs of allotted time, matches conflict by scheduling like it does for tomorrow. Hopefully, when the top half of the women's draw plays there won't be conflicting matches by schedule, for the top quarter of the draw for the ladies has practically all of my faves in such. </i>

Thanks for the info.
Wozz in trouble. But I think she'll find a way to prevail

Why is Wozz in trouble? She seems to have a good draw.

#ed_op#font color="brown"#ed_cl#@ #ed_op#b#ed_cl#Miss_Vee#ed_op#/b#ed_cl#:#ed_op#/font#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#&nbsp;Buzarnescu has the tools to stun Wozz. Will she do it? maybe not. But she is very capable of taking Wozz out.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#If Wozz is losing, watch for MTO and bathroom breaks. She'll do anything to mentally destabilize this woman. :) :)#ed_op#br#ed_cl#And Buzarnescu is known for going off the rail on bad calls. All the ref has to say is "Replay the point". If Buzarnescu is convinced she won that point, that's the end of her match. She'll take herself out of the game mentally... and lose the match.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Off topic:

Just watched the finish of the Viking/Saints game. What was the safety for the Saints "thinking about" to make a play that gave up game points for the Vikings? I'd clearly like to know....

Back to tennis....

Bad day at the office for stateside players.....Venus, Coco, Sloane, Taylor and CC Bellis. All are on their way to the airport for their next event, unless they're playing doubles....

Nice wins for my girls Petra M., Mona and Jello.

Kanepi with the upset over Cibby.
