I'm here for Maria and Aga dominating 2017.
Yes to all of this. Although RIP Pova if she has to face Serena to win one.

In this dream, can Garbine retain the FO?

Lol yes that's fine. Aga hates clay too much for that to ever be a possibility and Claypova 2017 might be a bit too soon in the comeback. Maria's more likely to take advantage post-summer when everyone's starting to feel all the aches and pains of a full season and she'll be fresher.

I'm dreaming of a Konta slam. But she needs to cut out the errors first and stop making things hard for herself against lower ranked players.

AO - Konta
FO - Mugz
Wimbledon - Aga
USO - Sharapova

That works for me.

I would cry of happiness if that happened! But would be elated if Vika did a "Kim" and win Wimbledon/USO as a mother!

Oh yeah, I forgot about Milos I don't dislike him at all, I just forget.

If we are talking who we want to win, Rafa and Andy can split them 2 each, lovely.
Delpo has to win one, Andy 2 and Rafa 1....that'd do me nicely

It would be so funny if Maria won a slam.

As long as the Andy 2x is Aus Open and Roland Garros. #GoldenSlam

I think Andy will dominate grass for at least another couple of years.

I'm on the fence about FO as I'd equally like Rafa to get his 10. Andy should definitely, finally get the Aus Open though!!

Andy really needs to get that AO monkey... err koala? off his back. Hopefully this will be the year.

She's already back in her pre-pregnancy clothes. Just a matter of when she wants to kickstart the comeback. Probably AO 2018.

With the size of that koala, I'm not surprised he's finding it hard to get it off his back.

Are the graphics and commentators really going to refer to him as Sir Andy Murray?
It sounds bloody ridiculous.

Go back to the Broadcasting section and stick to your trolling threads about BBC News, there's a good boy.

How about just calling him Sam?

Odd that the Williams sisters aren't playing doubles in Auckland - although Laura Robson has got into the doubles with her Kiwi partner via a wild card.

Venus is on now - a well packed stadium too. I wish I was there as Auckland is a lovely city and they also are lucky as they have an ATP event next week!

And quite an appropriate response given they were played off the court by BenFed.

Roger and Belinda certainly looked hungry!

If it was Murray playing along side Broady, would they shorten it to Brandy?
