"Never argue with an idiot - they take you down to their level and then beat you on experience" "Don't wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty, but the pig actually likes it" 2nd quarter Sharapova: LOL... R2 Sevastova, R3 Kerber (R4 Muguruza?)... 3rd quarter: Kasatkina got a decent draw... but!!! R1 Venus vs Bencic. What a cracker to start with... gutted with that one. and in the 4th quarter, the roas is open for Wozniacki. Conclusion: Top half looks totally open, but in the bottom half it is all set up for a Svitolina vs Wozniacki SF... So got to pick those two in my Skan.. cannot rely on Halep, Bencic or Kerber, given their tough draw.

LOL Maria v Sharapova? In any event, Kerber is in a groove at the moment and will more than likely defeat Sharapova and Garbine, assuming Garbine even plays. Last edited by Grossefavourite on Jan Thu 11, 2018 8:47 am, edited 1 time in total.
Re:Aussie Open Draw - LadiesMy thoughts on the draw: Interesting 1st Rounds Barty-Sabalenka Safarova-Tomljanovic Makarova-Begu Williams-Bencic Cibulkova-Kanepi Puig-Stosur Krunic-Kontaveit Section 1 - It'll be interesting if Halep and Kvitova meet in R3, especially given how fast the court plays. I'm not sure who wins (I dont know their H2H) Section 2 - It's nice that Gasparyan is back - I think Pliskova is the favorite here Section 3 - It's good for everyone that Maria isn't playing a seed R1 - Sharapova-Sevastova would be a good R2 - This section is tough with Kerber, Radwanska, and Muguruza (although Kerber is the only inform player). Let's see who comes through. Section 4 - I like Keys and Sasnovich here. We'll see how Caro is feeling but that section is pretty open. Section 5 - This is a tough section with Goerges, Mertens, Gavrilova, Bencic, Williams, Makarova, and Begu - It'll be interesting who comes through but doesn't look good for Venus. It'll be a great result for whoever else makes it out Section 6 - All Svitolina (her and Woz have the best sections for top4 seeds). Section 7 - I like Coco coming through here but there are many good/tricky players so it is very open. - Cibulkova, Krunic, Kontaveit, Puig, Stosur, Suarez, and Kanepi are dangerous Section 8 - All Wozniacki Last edited by 93tennisroyalty on Jan Thu 11, 2018 1:00 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Bencic will not gift her any points. And Venus needs those to compensate her own slew of errors.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#Venus is in trouble. Last edited by Ace2Ace on Jan Thu 11, 2018 7:19 pm, edited 2 times in total.
