Knowing the luck of many Aussic WC's she'll play on Laver on night 1 or 2 and get blasted by someone like Serena Williams.
Only Luczak of the Aussie men made it through the first qualifying round.
Hopefully the problems that have seen Raonic (replaced by Nishikori on Thursday) and Tsonga withdraw from matches at Kooyong aren't too serious (Tsonga's apparently just buggered), not that it's gonna affect the final on Saturday.
If the 22nd seed is who I think it is, how much time flies by to see a couple of finalists at this tournament in the past have to qualify for the tournament.
I too am not expecting any Australian male (or female) to make the field through qualifying.
So it's the Czechs vs the French in the final, a Bartoli win in the women's singles could be the best hope for the French as I think Berdych will beat Gasquet.
And Mardy Fish was pretty aggrieved by something the Bulgarian opponent may or may not have done it appeared.
Bernard won't go far if he continues the heavy reliance on the backhand slice/drop shot. Still thanks to Benneteau's dodgy calf he's close to getting out of this one.
Fun fact for tomorrow to consider....it's been 12 years since Xavier Malisse has beaten Roger Federer. It's also been the only time out of 8 tries that the Belgian has beaten the world #2.
