2017 Aussie Watch

[matt_897]

Way too many months before the next tie, can't judge how Tomic is going to be by then

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Tomic has to make himself available to even be considered for selection, at the moment he is not. Can't see what will change his attitude re availability tbh.

Former Internazionali BNL d'Italia semifinalist Daria Gavrilova will have to fight her way into the main draw this year after accidentally forgetting to enter the Premier 5 event in Italy. Hear what the Aussie has to say right here on wtatennis.com!

hahaha. I am willing to help you next time, Dasha

 

[JackNah_8]

how do you even forget to do that? lol

Alex de Minaur has a wildcard into the French Open.

Just to let everyone know Aussies are playing this week. Stosur, Gavrilova, Barty, Thompson, Kokkinakis, Kyrgios.

Kokkinakis is back in his first match against Istomin, Kyrgios through to the 2nd round with an opening bye, Thompson won his opening round in a battle against Paire, Stosur won easily and so did Barty. Women in Strasbourg and men in Lyon.

Only lost 16 points! Crazy.

Destinee Aiava lost her SF @ ITF 60K Saint Gaudens a few days ago. She missed out on the FO WC playoff which was eventually won by Jaimee Fourlis. Aiava beat 3 opponents, 2 of whom were ranked above her and her ranking went from 196 to 176. She will be playing FO qualifiers this week and if she gets thru to the 1st round, I think it will have been well worth the experience.

 

[danstar]

im impressed with barty i reckon she will end up being a consistent top 30 player

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Stosur through comfortably to the quarter finals just now in Strasbourg, her opponent will be CSN.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Barty also through comfortably to the quarters in Strasbourg

Gavrilova one set up in her match at present.

Could have 3 females in the quarters if Daria wins. Nice result.

And she does it eventually against a lowly-ranked opponent.

Daria will play Barty next so at least an Aussie in the semi.

NK just being his usual self I see...
He'll never change.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Stosur beats CSN

Watching Ash and Dash now, Gavrilova leads a set and a break.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Wow, ended up being a great match - Dasha just edges out Barty in a tiebreaker in the third!

 

[vaughany]

Good effort by Barty to push Dasha to three on clay on what would have been an awkward matchup.

Two aussies in the semi finals tonight!

Dasha v Garcia
Stosur v Peng

[danstar]

In Sydney maybe it was molik vs Stosur? I'll check.

Yep it was in 2005 in Sydney. Molik won in a tight 3 set match.

 

[danstar]

hopefully its a good omen for the french open, think ill be staying up to all hours for the first few days at least. Until the aussies crash out lol
