If 7 doesn't show it you should be able to stream it on the AO's website. You can watch the boys' final there now.

There will be an Aussie qualifier in the Taipei WTA. Cabrera is into the final round and will play the winner of Bains vs Hon.

 

[Me Myself and I]

Another first round loss yesterday for Stosur, this time in Taipei. 7-6, 6-2 to Japanese player Hibino ranked 93.

I sense a great rivalry between Fourlis and Aiava. Their 3 hr 2 min marathon today in Burnie (won by Aiava) was reminiscent of their u/18 National Championship Final (won by Fourlis) back in December. I hope they can push each other to great heights.

 

[ozgamer]

Well Aiava has shit the bed for the 2nd time in 3 mths against Rogowska

Rogowska now plays 1st seed Golubic in her SF, while the other remaining Aussie, Zoe Hives, (who won Playford last month), plays Kostyuk in the other.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Rogowska has toppled a few Aussies lately, took out Fourlis at the AO.

 

[Redline]

Kubler fights out a tough win in Burnie and is through to semi final.

 

[Redline]

Not sure where this belongs so I will put it in here. This might be of interest to people who follow the lower levels of pro tennis. Very big change.

Mousley beat top seed Granollers-Pujol in the first Launceston challenger semi. There will be an Aussie winner because Polmans and Harris play the other one.

Mousley vs Polmans in the final.

Polmans wins in 2.

 

[Redline]

Good win for Polmans, he didn't have a grrat summer so good to get some points.

I think the pro tour has a two week break before the Renmark and Mildura futures lawn events.

Mousley backed up after the singles loss to win doubles final with Bolt. 2nd seeders.

Into the final against the second seed.

I missed that Popyrin was playing a challenger in France. He came through qualifying and now into the quarter Final

Into the final against the second seed.

Wins in 3.

Bunch of Aussies playing in the Kyoto Challenger this week.

Millman, Thompson (1 and 2 seeds), Whittington, Purcell and Banes with the possibility of Ellis and Saville joining them from qualifying.

 

[Redline]

Millman and Ellis through to the quarter finals in Kyoto. Purcell and Whittington lost in the second round. Thompson playing on Thursday.

A huge win for Ellis, with the big changes coming to the ranking system in 2019 main draw Challenger points are crucial for someone with his ranking.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Great win for Ellis, came back from a set down too!

Great work by the Kokk. Came back from a set down, won a decent tiebreaker and stormed home to beat the top seed at a Mexico challenger. In semis.

Beats Soeda too. Now do your job Millman!
