He has a lot of points to defend doesnt he. HEs currently #17, so I guess thats where he'll be seeded? Not sure if he plays again before AO or others have points to defend.
There is "some" difference between #16 and #17, ofc the #17 might prove to be better in the end... The close 3 set loss to Zverev isnt that bad though after such a long lay off? |

Been a bit ill, so haven't really watched much the last week or so, seems interesting, but it's a similar pattern to last year in the WTA, lots of upsets, but then left with slightly inspiring latter stages of Tournaments. Cornet always fun to watch though.

Another hard thought victory for Jo Konta.

Auckland is dead to me now. The god botherer v Ostabrat in the SF, ewww. Hopefully Konjuh or Gools wins it. Shenzhen isn't much better either, how on earth has Giorgi slipped through that draw? Prays for Konta or Siniakova. Brisbane is all about Garbine v Cornet just a shame it's not the final.

Loved Rafa match, keep it up Rafa! Stupid commentators saying that if Andy was in the Final at this years French Open against Rafa Andy would win I'm not too sure on that.

Can anybody remember Andy ever being strapped up using that coloured taping players use today? I was just thinking I've never seen him have any visible bandaging and was wondering if it's perhaps a conscious decision or just that he's never needed any?

i think it's called a bipartite patella. |

I think Svitolina will win a Slam, just think she's better than the pusher people sometimes think she is, and she seems to have a proper work-ethic. Worked solidly on weights throughout the off-season, and she looks a bit more muscular. Can win against big names too.
Might put a small flutter on her for the OZ. |
