Unless my eyes deceive me, the court is a bit faster than medium.. Anisimova and Yastremska will not do as well as we expect. I would expect Avanesyan will beat Ansimova here, Anisimova does not like faster courts.. no idea how good Kessler is, so wont comment.

[ashkor87]

very impressed with Kessler - great defense, impossible to hit a winner against her, and nice variety, with the ability to change the rhythm of the rally.. i look forward to seeing more of her.. not just a pounder of the ball like so many other young uns

[ponchi101]

Haven't seen anything of her, but at 25, a good part of her career is behind. She will have to move up the rankings a bit faster.
Let's see if the "previous week winner" factor comes into play at the Aussie.
