Kerber did play toe to toe against Swiatek for the first set of their United Cup match before being blown out in the second set.

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
Sure, she played well in the first set and it was somewhat competitive, but not a single break on Iga's serve out of 5 chances - she also lost the last 9 games in a row.JTContinental wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 10:50 pm Kerber did play toe to toe against Swiatek for the first set of their United Cup match before being blown out in the second set.
It seems like time is going backwards towards 1984 . . .

On a comeback trail, I say that is not too bad.

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
True, and I really like Kerber. She just isn't quite there yet. Neither is Kenin, although I would love to see her back at full strength and confidence.

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
Vondrousova's early departure helps Ostapenko or Azarenka in that section.

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
I was quite pleased with Osaka's performance..she is 80% back .good result for both of them, I would say,! Didn't care for her space-age outfit though!!

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
I would give Kenin a 30% chance, she has the kind of game that would hurry Swiatek..and she is an AO champ, Swiatek isn't!!
Kerber has about 40% chance, a bit higher because Collins has had some health issues too..don't know if she is fit yet.
Kerber is very good at redirecting pace from power hitters, Collins isn't quite that...

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
Given the fact that the courts are a bit slower this year, I would reduce my estimate of Coco's chances, increase the others...maybe 25% each to the big 4.

The big 4?
Iga and....
Ok, I get it. But her chances will not change just by a small reduction of speed. It is not as if they went from a hard court to compacted beach sand.

Re: '24 Aus Open WTA Singles Draw & Discussion
The 2nd quarter is bound to produce a surprise SF's. We have:
Blinkova vs Paolini
Kalinskaya vs Stephens
Zheng vs Wang
Dodin vs Burel
Stephens is the biggest name here and the only player to have been to GS SF's before. I'm betting on Zheng instead.
