When pushers and grinders are winning everything, my predictions are in water. :) :) :)
I have given up on this Aussie Open, pushers' paradise.
Miami is the next big stop. I don't have much to say about Doha, Dubai and others... The grinders will show up and bore me to death with their never ending points. How does a player stand 6 feet inside the court and still can't put the point away? It keeps going and going and going and going. WTF?

With only the Final to go n WTA, Perdida is leading and Padawan on #3 has a Halep as uWP....
It seems that our rookies have mastered the game pretty fast.

I am leading in ATP but I do not have Federer as uWP
So I am forced to pick Cilic as winner if I want to win this slam.

Woz wins the first set 7-6.. we now know that either newcomer Padawan or newcomer Perdida wil win their first PGame slam ... Perdida haz Woz, Padawan got Halep.

(*her* first WTA Pgame)

Thank you Graveller :D And hello to everyone in the forum!
I'd call it the beginner's luck 8) Thank you to Padawan, who talked me into playing here. It's been fun so far!

I'm happy to see Caro take this one! She had the upper hand so many times in this match, it would have been totally devastating for her to walk away as a loser.

I was in doubt whether Perdida was a he or a she.. now we know...

Glad to see some new participants...
FYI, you are the 95th player who won a WTA PGame since the start in 2002.

In the course of next week I’ll post an overview of the january resukts with links to the PGame Halls of Fame (available for every evrnt) where you are already listed as winner in the 2018AO.

St.Petersburg and Taipei games have been set up. No ATP due to Davic Cup.

R1 will be on monday I think. though final qualification round in St.Pete is monday too.

Is Wozniacki actually going to play St. Petersburg? Doesn't make a lot of sense too. She should have withdrawn when she made the final. Why mess up the draw and prevent lower ranked players from playing?
