ATP/WTA 2017 and Alizé Lim + Katie Swan fan club thread - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

What to make of Serena losing early in Auckland after moaning about the wind and Kerber being beaten by Kasatkina in the first round of Sydney? Probably not much ultimately but certainly those two aren't anyway near even decent form yet, not to say that they won't play themselves into form in the AO.

Pretty much. Probably the same result again as well.

Serena gets probably 3 of the strongest 6/7 non seeded players in her section of the draw lol. Bencic is a tough draw.

Watching Jack Sock battle his 'clone' Steve Johnson in the Auckland semi. Crowd have yellow signs which you can write messages on and alot of them are 'Come to NZ Roger and Rafa.' Cracking me up.

So good being in Australia for the AO.

I'm not going to be going East for it though but will be absolutely perfect for TV

Accidental but also inexcusable. Right call was made.

USA Fed Cup team shows up looking like this:

Then they play the old German national anthem, the one that's no longer played ever, and generally frowned upon, because of that Hitler guy.

Quote:

USTA ‏@usta 5h5 hours ago
The USTA extends a sincere apology to the German Fed Cup team & fans 4 the outdated National Anthem. This mistake will not occur again.

The trolling may have worked tho, Riske beat Petko and Coco is up 63 31 on Goerges.

Nadal supposedly splitting with Uncle Toni after this year. I wouldn't be shocked if he just retired, but we will see.

lol Raonic. Beats delpo in the semis, then withdraws due to injury so the final vs Jack Sock isn't played.

So Serena was talking a walk in SF at night and came across two guys hitting balls...she asked if she could hit with them for a bit....pretty funny...she posted it on Snapchat...
