Delpo hasn’t recovered enough to play Melbourne:

That means everyone will move up a seed in Australia with Giles Simon getting the last seed at #32. I had a feeling he wasn't going to play Australia when he passed on the warmups which he played last year.

 

And tennis has arrived 24/7.....start time 6pm and stopping time 9am the next morning.....LOVE IT!

 

And Grigor is already out of the top 20?....wow......

 

Some male players will have to do well in Australia or they will drop big in the rankings.....I see Serena fan favorite Tennys....could drop out of the top 120 with loss early in Australia since he made the QFs last year...

Tsitsipas looks a bit like Yanni meets Guy Fawkes. Maria cleans up nicely.

[Soapsuds]

Here he is with shorter hair and totally shaved....

 

 

[Faulkner]

I don’t love that look either. He could use *some* facial hair. He’s not a bad-looking guy. Just needs a better barber.

Sloane is really going to let this Konta bitch clown her.

[Soapsuds]

I was going to post....Sloane just lost the first set to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Konta=zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

Sloane shouldn't have gotten rid of her coach.

Well, tbh, Sloane didn't win one match during the Aussie summer last year either and she had a coach then.

 

Also, the same coach that she had during the WTA Finals in Singapore is with her this week.

Sloane just lost 4-6, 3-6. Her ‘tude SUCKS. It’s hard being a fan of someone who only gives it her all 25 percent of the year at most.

Andy Murray is up next!

[ChitHappens]

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

I'm still trying to figure out her success. USO 2017 was obvious as Keys was her opponent. Sloane can move around that court like not many others but she leaves me scratching my head. 

 

So happy to have WTA back on TC but Jo Konta bugs me in every way.  Cant stand watching her. From that weirdo serve prep to that 2 step every 5 seconds. Ugh! 

[Soapsuds]

I agree but I am sure he has fans on here...LOL

 

 

Kudla beats Fritz....so much for the Fritz hype from the ending of this year from TC......

[Faulkner]

Watching Sloane completely dismantle someone like Angie Kerber is a thing of wonder, but I just can’t with her. I used to think the Kyrgios comparison was silly, but now I’m not so sure tbh.

[Soapsuds]

At least Sloane has won a major and made another final....Kyrgios hasn't done squat.
