Agreed, Grav', with Naomi likely playing in the Gippsland final. Then, starts play next week....smh.

Now, looking at this draw it's lopsided with the bottom half having all the heavy hitters (Naomi, Serena, Petra K, Muguruza, Simona, Sabalenka, Swiatek, Andreescu, Venus, Kudermetova, Kerber, young Kostyuk....... While the top half has Barty and Vika for the most part. Appears this draw was gift-wrapped for an Ashleigh final. Note as well that wildcards were given for Destanee and Stosur and they are playing each other in the lst with another Aussie WC in the same section of the draw all in the top-half of the draw. Please......

Totally agree, Rex. All the big hitters neutralize each others in the bottom half.

Serena wasn't/isn't injured, neither was Naomi or Azarenka who also withdrew from their matches. Serena and Naomi (the bottom half of the draw) begin the AO Sunday evening (stateside time) giving them at least 2 days off ere the start of the Slam. All they did was get some match prep ere the start of the Slam and weren't going to finish the events with the Slam looming the next week.

So they play some matches against low-ranked players, and when the first decent opposition shows up, the run away...

And then they think that they are prepared...

Made sense for them to withdraw, Grav', for all 3 would be in the semis for their respective events with the possibility of them reaching the finals, as well, the final being played today. Yet, the AO begins tomorrow on Sunday stateside for Serena and Naomi and they wouldn't have had a day off between the 2 events. They could have started the AO on Wednesday, then the players likely would've finished the respective events, but due to the tight scheduling the players acted accordingly.
