WTA 500 ATP 250 Brisbane 12/31 - 1/7 2024

How surprised would we be if she wins the Aussie?

Mildly, I would say...she is a two-time champion, and trains in Florida, so she can handle the heat...

I wonder if she is still training in Florida or staying home in California to train.

Surprised Woz is not playing...she must be well-rested by now? Would be very interesting to see how Osaka does...some people need match practice, some don't...Osaka is so talented, she probably doesn't....?

Good observation on Wozniacki. But she'll play the Australian, surely. Just doesn't want to go Down Under so early. Probably has family holiday stuff and it's too soon.

Well, Wozniacki entered Auckland.

hope Muchova plays and is fit and well.. it would be very sad if she is off for a while with injury.. some of my favorites are anyway away - Bencic, probably will not play for a while...

I don't know what is missing from Muchova's game, but indeed her proneness to injury is something that keeps her from advancing. Bad for me, because I love her game. That slice BH is only second to players that have already retired (Barty, and the previous generations).

And she's out of the tournament - too bad.

Nadal and Lopez won Olympic medals as a pair, if I remember right....great to see Rune partnering Murray, he can learn a lot ...

Snake on the court in Brisbane delayed play! The floor is open for jokes…
