Grand Slam Australian Open (Day 1)

[GreyCrow]

Comfortable win in the end for Ash


Edit: Just read the comments from during the match. It's as if some of you have never seen Ash play, she often starts slow and coming off a big week last week so it wasn't surprising. Probably write off your footy team after a bad first quarter as well

Going to say similar

It was like reading an Adelaide match thread at times

Winning a Grand Slam is freaking amazing!!! Why are people so down on Ash? She's doing really well, maintained her no.1 status and won some more tournaments, what on earth do people expect?

Like flogs who bag Stosur. Yes, she's run her race, and perhaps didn't "completely" fulfil her talent, but people don't consider that rankings go down to about 1000. That makes a very small percentage of players who are lucky enough to reach the top. Many are called, few are chosen. People who are bagging Barty can get farked x 100000

Next on "you heard it here first".

There is a distinct chance that the evening session will be cancelled. Yes, all of it.

Glad to say I was wrong.

It WAS discussed at high levels though.

 

[telsor]

So they'll cancel the ones played indoors?

They were looking at it.

Courts were OK, but some of the important support areas were flooded and it needed some fancy footwork behind the scenes to get the place running.

 

[boncer34]

Yeah, nah.

 

[telsor]

Yeah, nah.

Think safety and potential legal issues...

It has happened before. A long long time ago. I am not in Melbourne so can't comment on how bad it was.

Don't think there was any risk of that happening.

More concerns about staff being able to work safely (and not running afoul of OH&S & worksafe).
