Talk About Tennis 2.0

Rybakina seems fine now, blew Mertens away. But I think her languid movement makes her look unwell even when she is perfectly fine.

Keys is out of the AO with a shoulder injury...too bad, she has done well here in the past and she can handle the heat ..

So we're going to be hearing about Djokovic's injury through the whole Australian Open culminating in his 11th title.

well, now he is sure.. that he is NOT fit yet..too bad.

OTOH. This guy truly loves this sport. There is no other explanation.

Raducanu pulls out of exo with soreness. Osaka too?

Of course she is going to be sore. She had not played a truly competitive match since forever.
Osaka too.

Now Pegula may miss the AO - GI illness it seems

I doubt that she’ ll miss the AO for that
