Wtf is going on tonight, games were supposed to start at 9pm, and already Ginepri and Petschner have withdrawn from their games.

Any explanations?

 

[dUkezz]

ginepri saved my bacon by retiring

Anybody been following the end of season WTA champs, haven't been watching it but again injuries wrecking havoc espicallly in the white group. Jankovic basically making a semi-final based on other people's injuries. She'll get killed by Serena tonight anyway. Wozinacki and Venus might be a bit closer, Venus getting through the round robin stage with 1 win.

I'm looking forward to the men's end of season champs in a few weeks more so.

Yeah been a bit of a crazy event.

Woniacki is such a drama queen.

Azarenka is insanely talented but a complete headcase. She has the potential to be winning these types of events but her mental breakdowns are too frequent and until she gets herself under control she won't achieve the success she should.

I'll tip Serena to take this one out. Can't wait for Paris and London.

Serena beat Venus in straight sets, no surprises there.

Dokic also won another 100k ITF event, and Luczak managed to qualify for the 500 event in Basel. He plays Hernych in the first round.

 

[matt_897]

Good news about Dokic winning, decent end to the year, she'll have some confidence heading into the Australian summer.

Impressive win on indoors for Pete against Serra, he would be happy he didn't draw Federer or Karlovic like he did.

 

[matt_897]

Pete lost 6-3, 6-4 to Hernych, disappointing, there was a chance to get a nice ATP 500 win.

Sam stats in Bali tonight against Szavay, pretty odd format with 4 groups of 3 and the winner of each going to the semis, match should be about 11-11.30 tonight, might be a livestream.

 

[andrepetz]

Hewitt has withdrawn from the Paris Masters which is a bit surprising, but with no points to defend and a top 20 ranking, he might as well rest up for next season.

 

[matt_897]

No it's not surprising, he has never played Paris

 

[matt_897]

No it's not surprising, he has never played Paris, well not for a long time anyway

 

[pepsi]

Stosur lost today in Bali and does not make it through the round robin stage. Disappointing.

For those who are intrested Casey Dellacqua won her comeback match playing doubles with Alicia Molik the score was 6-3 7-6. She was meant to play singles but pulled out with a sore foot. Braydan Klien started his singles campign today not sure how he got on though.

Looking forward to this, mainly because the season is back again, but it's a solid field. Although Brisbane is what im really waiting for.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

love the hopman cup - one of the fun tournaments of the year

Im going to get my tix for the WTC in Adelaide which was great fun but its not the same as having a genuine tournament

 

[roostersgal4eva]
