Guessing no, meaning Raducanu is only two spots out of the main draw, I think. She hasn't gotten a WC yet, so she would have to play qualifying if two more players don't withdraw.

by ashkor87 time to put an end to this corrupt pracice of slams exchanging wild cards.. not fair to countries who are not wealthy enough to have one - even though they have great players, like Spain, Czech.. etc
by JTContinental Rodionova is almost 100 years old, is really Russian, hasn't played at the AO since 2012, and according to Wikipedia and the WTA website, retired in August 2023. Tennis Australia always gives their home country wildcards to younger talent, so that just looks like Ben looking to create controversy again when there isn't any.

But why would Daria Saville be more deserving? Rodionova is in the top 100 and Saville is #176 - and 29. Not young.
by ti-amie Good point re Saville...
by JTContinental She's not young but she's way younger than Rodionova.
My guess would be a) she's been in the top 20 and is coming back from yet another injury and b) She is married to and coached by popular Aussie players (Luke Saville, Nicole Pratt).
One quick correction to my earlier post: the Rodionova who hasn't played at the AO since 2012 and retired is Anastasia, not Arina
by ashkor87 I have no problem with AO giving wild cards to Australians but this 'exchange program' with other majors is highly unfair..just because they are part of the 'old school'.. is Australia or even France more significant among tennis playing nations than, say, Czechia or Russia..? Why do Americans and Brits deserve wild cards at every grand slam?! Security council,,,,?!
by ponchi101 It does reek of "Ol' boys club" tactics.
But since nobody can tell the slam what they can or cannot do, they can get away with that.
by ti-amieBrady Endures Another Setback And Withdraws From 2024 Australian Open
by Jordan Reynolds
Today, 00:45
Jennifer Brady's physical struggles have continued, with the American having to pull out of the 2024 Australian Open.
Brady had been one of many comeback players set to play in Melbourne. This includes two-time champion Naomi Osaka, whose first tournament was in Brisbane, where she lost in the second round to Karolina Pliskova.
The Australian Open was the scene of Brady's best career achievement to date. It was the American who played Osaka in the 2021 final at the first Grand Slam of the year. She lost, but her run was still a memorable one.
Unfortunately, things became more difficult for Brady after that. She sustained a knee injury against Jelena Ostapenko at the Cincinnati Masters. It was a serious problem, and it kept her away from the sport for two years.
The 28-year-old did not return until the 2023 Washington Open. Her level was surprisingly strong after such a long time out. The former Grand Slam finalist easily defeated Anhelina Kalinina, before losing to Madison Keys, who also withdrew recently from the Australian Open.
Brady carried that good form into the 2023 US Open. She progressed to the third round, only being stopped by former runner-up at Flushing Meadows, Caroline Wozniacki. All seemed to be looking up for Brady.
Sadly, she had to retire from her contest at the China Open against Magda Linette in October. Brady did not play for the rest of the 2023 season.
Now, Brady has had to withdraw from the Australian Open. Missing any Grand Slam is difficult. However, missing the Grand Slam she had so much success at, and after such a long previous injury layoff, is a difficult setback for her.
Hopefully, we see Brady back as soon as possible, and further injury issues do not completely derail what was such a promising career.

Same. I never rooted for him because of Fed. Never disliked him, but hated watching Fed fall to him over and over. But now I can fully appreciate Rafa for who his is and love watching him compete. Sad he won't be in Melbourne. I don't want to see him stumble to the end, obviously in pain.

You might be right, but Rybakina is inconsistent. She should win - she has the most raw power on the serve and groundies. But I can't pull the trigger and say she will win it. She certainly has the edge on Iga on outdoor hard court. I hope they get to play in Melbourne.
Gauff showed a lot of poise to beat Svitolina in three, and I think her serve has improved. I have said elsewhere, she worked with Roddick a little bit in the offseason, so I was curious to see her serve. I still think Gauff should be more aggressive. She was a bit passive vs Svitolina. Just content to rally with her when she could have attacked.
by ponchi101 Not ready to say Elena is now the favorite. That would mean a sort of long streak (if she does not play this week, it would mean 11 straight matches) and, as has been said, her inconsistency is never far away.
If she serves well, she will do well. But favorite for the title is a bit too much for me.
by JTContinental If Gauff can “passively” hit 32 winners against all of her opponents like she did against Svitolina, she’ll be in pretty good shape to contend for the title at AO

It was a long match with a lot of long rallies, and lots of missed opportunities for Gauff to attack. I'm talking about the 8-10 balls she would rally back down the middle before she managed to hit those 32 winners (which is about 1 per game of this match, decent but not crazy good). An opponent with more offense will attack those balls. Maybe it was a strategy to not attack and make Svitolina play offense. I think Gauff will contend for the AO title but I still think she should be more aggressive.
Sabalenka hit 51 winners vs Rybakina in her AO win last year. Rybanka hit 19 winners in her final in half the time of the Gauff-Svitolina final.
BTW, this is crazy - Gauff hit only 13 winners to beat Sabalenka in the US Open. Sabalenka only hit 25 winners herself. That's over three sets! Both players made nearly twice as many errors as winners.

by ti-amieSeed list confirmed for Australian Open 2024
10 January 2024
The seeds are set for the singles events at Australian Open 2024.
World No.1 and 10-time AO winner Novak Djokovic is the top seed in the men’s singles event, ahead of second seed Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning Wimbledon champion.
Historically, Djokovic has an unblemished 42-0 win-loss record as the No.1 seed at the Australian Open.
Thursday’s draw ceremony will determine in which half of the draw Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner, the respective No.3 and No.4 seeds, fall. This will in turn determine the projected semifinal opponents of the top two men.
World No.1 Iga Swiatek, on a 16-match winning streak, is the top seed in the women’s singles, with defending champion Aryna Sabalenka the second seed.
Their potential semifinal opponents will be either Elena Rybakina or Coco Gauff, the No.3 and No.4 seeds respectively.
by Fastbackss Christ - I think the women's draw was rigged.
Iga gets Kenin. If she wins gets Collins or Kerber

Pliskova's kit was one of the prettiest on display in Melbourne. Danielle Collins looked like she was wearing the bloomers women wore back in the 1800's. I guess no one paid attention to how it looked when worn and when the player is in motion.
by ashkor87 After that not-so-great performance from Rybakina, I don't see her winning the title..no worthwhile game plan, just hits the ball down the middle...can't beat the great players like that.
Coco 35%
Sabalenka and Swiatek 30 % each
Rybakina 5%
by ponchi101 She won in straight sets, beating a two time slam finalist and former world #1, and you dock her some 25% points just based on one performance?

Don’t blow by Anisimova in Sabalenka’s section. Amanda beat her here in 2019. I know Sabalenka is more refined but I wonder if that memory will come back to her.
There has to be a surprise or two from your projections. Anisimova, Timofeeva, Andreeva, Noskova, Tomljanovic… ?

by ponchi101 Plus, Amanda was a highly touted player who was derailed by a very simple but tragic reason: the death of her father.
If she has been able to put that behind her (in the proper way, the death of a parent at that young age simply never goes away), I see no reason to deny the fact that she has power and speed. Amanda Anisimova, Slam Semi finalist? She has done it already. Slam champ? Surprising, at this moment, but not shocking.

French star beat US young gun Ben Shelton in five sets
Revealed post game he drinks tequila to unwind
Adrian Mannarino next faces top seed Novak Djokovic
By ANDREW PRENTICE FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
PUBLISHED: 00:11, 20 January 2024 | UPDATED: 01:42, 20 January 2024
French tennis star Adrian Mannarino has revealed the left-field secret to his on-court success - tequila.
The 35-year-old beat American rising star Ben Shelton, 21, in a five-set epic on Friday night which lasted four hours and 46 minutes.
When quizzed by Channel Nine commentator Adam Peacock as to how he is in career best form - and mocking Father Time - Mannarino's answer was brilliant.
'I started [drinking] tequila,' he said, much to the amusement of fans courtside.
'That helps to not think too much and you know, you just keep going.
'Sometimes you need to clear your brain and stop thinking about the past and you just keep going.
'Don't look back and just go.'
Mannarino, the 20th seed, will next face defending champion and world number one Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.
He also became an instant cult hero after telling tennis fans he just wants to 'enjoy the moment' and along with his team 'doesn't really care about what's next.'
The Frenchman's gripping triumph did deny fans a spicy re-match of Djokovic and Shelton, who have engaged in a war of words since the US Open last year, where the Serbian ended the run of the brash American in the semi-finals.
And while Djokovic is likely to be conserving his energy on Saturday, Mannarino will be back on court.
He will partner countryman Quentin Halys in the second round of the men's doubles against 12th seeds Jackson Withrow and Nathaniel Lammons.
At the United Cup earlier this month in Sydney, Mannarino attracted headlines after he was handed a controversial medical timeout mid-match.
It followed a self-induced injury, with Australian tennis great Wally Masur stunned at the decision from the chair umpire.
by ti-amie Well tequila will render you unconscious so...
by skatingfan Mannarino & Quetin Halys withdrew from the doubles, so maybe he cares a little bit about what happens next.

by ashkor87 Combination of Y''s power and the court's speed a bit too much for Noskova thus far . Seems to be late on many shots...probably would do better at the USO.. of course, when Yastremska is not missing, she could overwhelm anyone, I suppose

Explain, please.
If you won it TWICE IN A ROW, that literally means that you won it this year AND THE LAST YEAR. Unless you mean that a player won one major AND the one before (i.e. The Aussie and the USO of the previous year, RG and AO on the same year, etc).
by ashkor87 i mean the following are different in probability terms:
Probability of winning two majors in a row
Probablity of wining a major given that you won it last year already
that is all. A question of what the 'given ' is or, as Bayesian probability theorists like to say, what the 'priors' are.
by Suliso The second is more likely obviously (additional surface effect), but it doesn't happen very often either. Unless you dominate the game already and win Slams left and right.

Yes but considerably higher than the first, and higher than people think..
by Suliso Jannik Sinner is the 28th different AO winner in the open era (56 years). Also since 2000 he's the fourth player to win this tournament before turning 23 (the other three are the obvious ones).
Also Jannik is only the third male Italian GS winner and the first two do it off clay.
by Suliso Another interesting factoid - Medvedev is the first player in the open era to lose multiple Slam finals from 2-0 up.
by ashkor87 Sabalenka was very impressive this year.. no DFs, UFEs were few, no wild mood swings.. she has really learned to control her aggression - tiger on a leash! This Sabalenka will be very hard to beat, for anyone, on any surface..Sinner too, has grown a lot.. though the surface did favor him, it was not that decisive a factor.. he will be a force everywhere except clay.. certainly grass and hard courts..
by Suliso I'm reading that so far the most watched tennis match ever in Italy was last years ATP tour final between Sinner and Djokovic. Perhaps ratings for the AO final will be even higher?
