ATP 250 WTA 500 Brisbane 12/29 - 1/5 2025

[ashkor87]

Vika has an utterly flawless record against Ostapenko..testament to the punishing second serve return of Azarenka, probably.

[ponchi101]

Testament to the fact that Alona plays recklessly and Vika is a good athlete at getting balls back?

[ashkor87]

Vika punishes second serves better than most

[mick1303]

Big shutout to Jordan Thompson. He is second best to Berrettini in almost every facet of the game, except maybe volleying. But he hang in there and basically out-competed Matteo, who is himself no slouch in the mental department. So now JT wins matches on pure grit and belief that he belongs.

Kyrgios could barely move - he looks out of shape, to me - and he still nearly beat Perricard. I only saw a dozen games but Perricard was dreadful off the ground. I've seen him hit better than that, but not yesterday. I think the scoreline was a testament to Perricard's deficiencies. Movement, too. He should serve and volley.

[ponchi101]

Why would somebody with deficient movement serve and volley? You need to be feline-quick to serve and volley properly.

Isner wasn't quick but he S&V'd because it was his best chance.

Seems more realistic for GMP to develop forward exposition and a first volley than the side-to-side movement and ground strokes he's going to need to stay back, considering how far off he looks from competitive in those areas. And it would complement his serve and keep points short, for fewer injuries.

Andreeva playing very well..can she win this tournament? Possible..

[ponchi101]

She remains on track. And she turns 18 this year, so age limitations are no longer imposed on her. Let's see if she can make top 10.

[ashkor87]

very impressive win for Andreeva over Noskova.. the court appears on the slow side (compared with Auckland at least) and Andreeva was able to run down everything, opened up the court with lovely little angles and drop shots. Good omen for her. Jabeur next, whom she has beaten before..
