Already have Eurosport with Sky otherwise that's a cracking deal, especially now Discovery seems to be shelling out the $$$ for more content - shame they couldn't have used that to reclaim the WTA from BT instead of swiping the Olympics from the beeb.

That is very cheap for ES Player. Are they showing many tournaments this year to make it worth it?
Looking at the field Pliskova and Cibulkova are the ones that jump out at me, although with Pliskova it remains to be seen whether the US Open was a flash in the pan and she'll return to her usual early exits. Seeing how Cibulkova stepped up and won Singapore, albeit with a 3-2 record, you've got to think that Serena is the only one she'll have to actively fear in Melbourne. Looking at the rest of the field, I can't see the likes of Keys or Konta winning a slam, at least not this year, and it's difficult to see who else may do it. Obviously though, if someone were to get a Bartoli-esque draw nothing can be ruled out.
I think because it was a good summary of the glass ceiling contenders that there wasn't really much to add? I saw Pliskova made a quip about her New Years resolution being to bend her knees more, if she does more of that she may yet be more of a regular threat.
