Solid by Kokk today. Needed three but he's a WC against a seed. Will take.
Duckworth's in the same tourney. If they win their next matches, there's a guaranteed Aussie in the final. Fingers crossed.

It's official. An Aussie will make the final. Kokk needed two tiebreakers again but got the job done.

Not expecting him to win. Good of him to defend his points. I think that's the best case scenario no maatter what happens.

Hewitt-Matosevic clash in R32 at Citi Open, so at least an Australian is guaranteed R16. Most of the Aussies are in the 2nd half of the draw, where Raonic and Isner are the only remotely scary opponents. Tomic is in an okay part of the draw, a chance to make the SFs.

Oh well. Better luck next time.
Kokkinakis takes out the second seed Jimmy Wang 7-5 6-3 in the first round of Vancouver.
Also in Canada John Patrick Smith lost to top seed Marcos Baghdatis 6-4 5-7 7-5. Good effort against Marcos. Jordan Thompsons match with Taro Daniel got suspended due to darkness with the score at 1 set all as did Matt Reids match with the score at 2-2 in the third.

Bryden Klein qualified for the Segovia challenger. Beat a WC in the first round. 7th-seeded Bozoljac in the second. 1st seed is in his immediate bracket so likely to face him next.

Another short jump in the rankings for him no matter what else happens. Looking good.
Not Australian.

Brad Mousley facing a 2 year ban for testing positive to ecstasy.
2 year bans for illicit drugs such as ecstasy and cocaine are so bloody ridiculous. Should be max 3 months for illicit drug use in tennis.
Yep absolutely farcical judging by what has come out so far. Tested positive from a test that was conducted in the first round of the qualies at a futures tournament in Melbourne. First time I have ever heard of this happening at a futures tournament. Also read that if he had been tested on a day that he wasn't playing then he would have received no punishment. It amazes me that a guy can get a two year suspension for something like this whilst a number of sports, in particular tennis, have a joke of an anti doping policy. It's that pathetic you actually believe the innocence of athletes caught doping because if they were actually making an effort to dope it is incredibly unlikely they would be caught given how flawed the testing procedures are.
Remember when hingis was banned for 2 years for cocaine use. Just ridiculous. She had such a minor trace of it in her system that it could have come from another source.
