as i was saying...
this is a major with best of 5 sets matches and it's the aussie open which the douche owns...a win in the serbian open doesn't count...

That first set was a story of twists and turns, unfortunately for Vicky unforced errors letting her down in the end.

Was good from Linette to force a tie break, but Sabalenka's power game in the breaker was overwhelming.

Saba v Rybakina won't be the most complex of finals but nonetheless neither are randoms and not much between them in the betting so should be very competitive hopefully.
Not the most surprising of news this. The men's matches are taking forever!
We get some really cool viral points from these type of matches but overall this is very bad . The courts need to be quicker and the points need to be shorter because unless a hardcore fan you can't blame anyone for turning off.

Australian Open matches are taking longer than ever. Next year might be worse
Points take longer. Rallies take longer. The balls are different. Players are getting stronger. And new data show tennis is only going in one direction.

Didn't help that he threw himself out of two of the three Slams that earned points last year.
He'll get to #1 if/when he wins anyway.

Didn't see the final but have seen both women play in fitful passages. How would people compare the power of the finalists with Serena's? Are they close to her level? I'm not sure how mobile the finalists are and I think this was an under rated facet of Serena's game. She wasn't a graceful mover but she was fast and able to chase down angles. So there was never a really consistently effective way of beating her. I wonder if Sabalenka and Rybakina have the power and court speed to compete with Serena?

Power wise both are frankly more powerful than Serena, but movement and especially mentality wise, Serena obviously on another level.
