Ready for this doubles final. Taylor and Stefani have been playing well.

Back to back titles (and 500 titles at that) for Townsend to start the year.
Looks like she's decided to partner with Muhammad who she won the Adelaide title with last week. Didn't partner McNally despite the pair making the USO Final in doubles last year and didn't pick Stefani who she won with today. And as luck would have it, McNally is partnering with Stefani for the Aus Open.
Townsend/Muhammad will be the 12th seeds and McNally/Stefani will be the 15th seed.
I didn't realize Taylor won a junior ladies doubles slam with Bouchard at Wimbledon in 2012 (she also won 2 other junior doubles slams and made another final with a girl called Gabrielle Andrews?).

These pre-GS tournaments need to be wrapped up by the Friday before the major. There were withdrawals by Lestienne and Glasspool/Heliovaara in Auckland/Adelaide respectively also.

forgot about this:
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic reached the final of the 2014 Miami ATP Masters without lifting their racquets on Friday after their semi-final foes Tomas Berdych and Kei Nishikori withdrew.
The two semi-final walkovers were a first in ATP history, with Nishikori pulling out with a groin injury and Berdych felled by gastroenteritis.

She is a great doubles player. Will be interesting to see how far they can go.

It seems they must have let loose a contagious 'walkover virus'.

Funny, I bet they are fully recovered for Melbourne.It seems they must have let loose a contagious 'walkover virus'.

A lot of people are pissed off when there are walkovers such as this.
But I don't think anyone is as pissed off as the player they just beat in the previous round.

I agree with you but the fans drive the sport and need to be respected. It appears that some tennis stars are a bit too arrogant and need to be brought down several notches. Big fish little pond syndromeBut I don't think anyone is as pissed off as the player they just beat in the previous round.

The ball between the legs before serve is an equal opportunity habit.

Badosa just withdrew from the Australian Open, so I guess it was a legit injury.

I like the way Davis is putting Cocc in her place.
Cocc has been too cocky recently.

From 7-0 in the 1st set tie-break to 5-0 in the 2nd set!
Davis is now putting on a clinic!
I think she has good odds of winning the tournie now.

She saw my post
She had to act to protect her future Frankly I am full of it, and just "pulling chains." But like in the playoffs of the NFL where they layoff their stars when they already made the playoff I see how tennis players follow that play.Yes I know that but she’s lived in the US since like 3 and it’s odd to me she speaks with such an affect? It’s as if she doesn't speak English in her life hardly at all. Maybe it’s a function of unconventional schooling, idk. I just think it’s so strange. She’s lived in Florida almost her entire life. Compared to Sharapova who has a distinctively American English accent. Anyway looking forward to the return of Kenin!

You gotta admit she had a really tough draw. Could have played a factor.She saw my post

Bencic is crushing it! Firing these returns, hitting winners. Raced to 5-0 and serving for the bagel over Kasatkina.

Kasatkina has won just 6 points this set, just 4 points on her own serve and 2 points on return.

It's just all Bencic today. Great winners and Kasatkina has not come to play, just hit a terrible drop shot, 0-15. And a return winner from Bencic, 0-30.
Belinda 2 points from the 6-0 6-1 win.

Belinda Bencic stomping that she is also a threat this Australian Open.

I really like Sasno's game. She has a good sense of court and shot selection.
I'm surprised that after almost a year they still haven't been able to locate the Russian flags for the scoreboards.

The name thing was obvious, I meant Krecjikova/Siniakova not playing dubs separately with Hunter in Adelaide even though both were there and are now back together for the Australian Open. I guess WTA dubs is a weird incestuous partner swapping thing sometimes.

Sasno's gone off the boil.
She was down at least 1-3 in the 1st to B. Fruity. Came storming back to 5-3 and then took her foot off the gas to get to 5-5.
It's now 6-5 Sasno. Living dangerously.
Was down 0-40 in her last game.
Sas manages to close out the 1st 7-5 with a break.
