The women's field is nuts!

And my brain is just a little foggy, but when was the last time Serena played Sydney? (My head wants to say 2002).

Go Vika!

Go Vika!

1998-1999, 2001-2002, 2009. Never better than SF.

1998-1999, 2001-2002, 2009. Never better than SF.

I have no memory of her playing last year! Wow, I'm getting old.

**Peretool** · 06-01-2010, 11:40 PM

I have no memory of her playing last year! Wow, I'm getting old.

Remember she saved all those match points in the early rounds and then Elena (I think) took her to the shredder.

**Karinochka** · 06-02-2010, 01:28 AM

Remember she saved all those match points in the early rounds and then Elena (I think) took her to the shredder.

Not at all. I remember Elena won the tournament, but I can't recall who else played the event.

**attackDoold** · 06-02-2010, 02:17 AM

Remember she saved all those match points in the early rounds and then Elena (I think) took her to the shredder.

Yeah I think two people had several match points against her. I'm pretty sure Stosur was one. Who was the other? Wozniacki?

Checking...

**attackDoold** · 06-02-2010, 02:19 AM

2009 Sydney

d Stosur 6-3 6-7(4) 7-5
d Errani 6-1 6-2
d Wozniacki 6-7(5) 6-3 7-6(3)
l Dementieva 6-3 6-1

2009 Sydney

d Stosur 6-3 6-7(4) 7-5
d Errani 6-1 6-2
d Wozniacki 6-7(5) 6-3 7-6(3)
l Dementieva 6-3 6-1

This is pretty sad that I don't recall ANY of this at all.

I'll pay attention this year though, I promise!

**koebforfrn** · 08-02-2010, 02:46 AM

The draw is coming out! Serena and Justine will meet 2nd round here! (If they make it past first round....) Whooo hooo here we go!

Serena has a bye so I like her chances. Henin plays Martinez Sanchez.

Well that didn't take long. First tourney, Kim; and now Serena. Talk about being tested.

**infelconi** · 08-02-2010, 04:21 AM

..I don't know about that.

Bye IS a tough cookie.

**cigattIcTot** · 08-02-2010, 04:25 AM

Martinez Sanchez may not be a walk in the park either, depending on how grueling the Clijsters match is.

**loikrso** · 08-02-2010, 04:51 AM

I predicted they'd meet in the second round of Melbourne. They still probably will but the draw spirits moved it up an event.

Am I having another hallucination or did I read that Bepa had withdrawn with another ankle injury?

::

That's actually a rip-roaring draw.

**casinochniks** · 08-02-2010, 05:28 AM

Am I having another hallucination or did I read that Bepa had withdrawn with another ankle injury?

She pulled out of Hong Kong today (was to face Vika)...have they announced she is officially out here as well?
