WTA ATP Aus Open 1/17 - 1/30 2022

[meganfernandez]

Ah, the hair splitting part Your knife is much sharper than mine
I would not go that far. I say she has the same chance as Aryna, Anett (who has now become part of the conversation), Barty (she has to break through at home sooner or later), Pliskova and a few others. I want to see Raducanu coming back to a slam, this time with a bullseye on her back (Leylah too).
I still say: the field. And will not be surprised one but when another unseeded player takes her first slam.

I'd like to see Raducanu back it up, but I'm not expecting it for quite a while. It's going to be exciting with so many contenders and good storylines, if everyone shows up and shows up healthy. I really don't think Muguruza will win it. Too streaky. I forgot about Anett's hot streak. I keep thinking Badosa will break through - so much fire. Funny that this time last year, Osaka and Brady were the hot players. How quickly things can change.

People should remember that the first entry lists for a Slam always include everyone who is eligible unless, like Serena, Wawrinka, Federer and Andreescu they withdraw before the entry list is released.

[JazzNU]

Also, if there is a place to retire for her, Centre Court should be it.

Why? Strongly disagree.

[ponchi101]

Arthur Ashe too, of course. I forgot.

[Owendonovan]

Time for some farfetched predictions! Muguruza to win the AusOpen.. following the footsteps of Wozniacki..
much harder to predict the men this time - depends too much on a certain (maybe) unvaccinated player..

Vika.

It's been a while, great to see you too!

Aussie Open has announced that there will be an independent panel to review the entry of players that are unvaccinated into the country.
Ah, just tweak those rules just a little, please. Just a little so that the #1 player can come and win again and the Aussie can be the place where the record for most slams will be set. Please, please, please, Government of wherever Melbourne is, please, just tweak those rules a little bit, integrity and decency be damned. Please!!!!

[ti-amie]

[Deuce]

I am in favour of allowing non-vaccinated players to play the Aussie Open... Under the following condition...
When the player is not playing a match, he/she will be kept in a well-sealed box, the size of which will be approximately 10x10x10 feet. One window would be permitted per box so that the player may look out and see other unvaccinated players in their respective boxes (if any).
An adequate amount of oxygen is to be pumped in via an adequately sized hose - as long as the opening for said tube is properly sealed.

The player is to be transported in this box to the court upon which he/she will be playing, and permitted to exit the box for only the duration of the match. The unvaccinated player will wear a properly sealing mask for the duration of his/her time spent outside of the box, including while playing the match.
No bathroom or other types of break will be permitted for these unvaccinated players.
Immediately after the termination of the match, win or lose, the player shall be inserted back into the box and transported to the designated holding area, where he/she will remain - inside the box - until 20 minutes prior to their next match.
The player is permitted to remove the mask while inside the box.
No practice is permitted for these unvaccinated players, and they may play only in the Singles discipline.

As soon as the unvaccinated player loses a match, or if he/she wins the tournament, he/she will be immediately inserted back into the box, and immediately transported to the nearest international airport, where he/she will be placed on the first cargo flight available whose destination is a country other than Australia.

[ti-amie]

That'll learn em!

[ashkor87]

Now that the 2021 is over...
Predictions for AO 22-

Women:
Muguruza 30%
Sabalenka 20%
Osaka 20%
Barty 10%
The field 20%
Men, will wait for Djokovic !
If he plays,
Djokovic 40%
Zverev 30%
Medvedev 20%
Nadal 5%
The field 5%

[patrick]

I would put Medvedev over Zverev, the 3- set king.
