There weren’t as many upsets in the women’s draw on Tuesday, but there were still some notable exits with Jelena Jankovic, Flavia Pennetta and Andrea Petkovic going out; all three players remain winless in 2015. I watched the end of Petkovic’s match with Madison Brengle, who reached the final in Hobart last week. Petko struggled…
As first round action continues to wrap up on Tuesday, there have been no major upsets in the men’s draw. The highest seeded casualty so far has been Ernests Gulbis, but that didn’t come as a great surprise up against the talented teen, Thanasi Kokkinakis. I must say that the schedule for day 3 is…

With my earlier predictions being decimated with walkovers and various teams not playing well, we’ve now arrived at a doubles final between the teams of Kop Jones/Spears and Mattek-Sands/Mirza. Both teams are quite experienced doubles players and have had long partnerships with one another, even though Mirza’s main partner is Hsieh Su-Wei this year. And…
The Australian Open draws are released TONIGHT! Normally I stay up for them, but I really can’t be bothered this year. I remember last year that the pre-draw activities went on for about an hour so the draw didn’t take place until Midnight… I will look forward to scanning both draws on Friday morning and…
