January 5, 20169 yr Great start for Kyle Edmund, I'm very interested in the British hopes this year. Jo Konta, Kyle Edmund and Aljaz Bedene especially. :wub:
January 6, 20169 yr Author Naomi Broady through to the third round in Auckland although how her opponent Jelena Ostapenko wasn't disqualified for appearing to throw a racquet towards a ball boy is something I can't work out. That should be a disqualification without a doubt.
January 6, 20169 yr Watched the whole match. She obviously threw racquet on purpose but think she didn't hit ball boy on purpose. Think she should've gotten defaulted tho. Don't really understand why Naomi focused on arguing after the match tho.
January 6, 20169 yr This is awesome: Q24vr-nwpbI It's not like it was for an insignificant point in the match either, which makes it all the more impressive! Jack Sock's mah nu fave. B-)

January 14, 20169 yr novak should win but you never know as for the womens think azankra will win she is playing well
January 18, 20169 yr It's certainly an eyebrow-raiser but we need more details to come out really to get a better idea of it all. Match fixing occurs in every sport so I can't say I'm all that surprised.
January 19, 20169 yr Author Johanna Konta has knocked out Venus Williams in the first round in straight sets with a 6-4 6-2 win.
January 19, 20169 yr Author More shocks today with Nadal out losing in five sets to Verdasco and also in the women's draw second seed Simona Halep crashing out as well. I don't think Nadal will win another Grand Slam title. I got a funny feeling he could retire this year.
January 21, 20169 yr Author We say goodbye to Lleyton Hewitt's tennis career as he exited the Australian Open to David Ferrer in his final singles match. A two-time Grand Slam champion.
January 21, 20169 yr Great player. His rally against Roger Federer (you all know the one) is the best I've ever seen in the sport.
January 21, 20169 yr Good news for Brits, both Konta & Murray are into round 3. Konta will playing Denisa Allertova who knocked out a player who many people (including myself) quite like Sabine Lisicki.
January 21, 20169 yr Author Shame that Sabine Lisicki is out although pleased to see Murray and Konta go through. Also Azarenka and Muguruza both comfortably through the second and third seed in the women's draw.
January 24, 20169 yr Author Novak Djokovic taken to five sets by Gilles Simon. Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will play each other in the quarter-finals after winning their respective matches.
January 25, 20169 yr Konta streaming ahead into the quarters. Fantastic for her :D First time we've gotten both genders into the quarters of a Grand Slam for 39 years as well, excellent news for Britain.
January 25, 20169 yr I had the displeasure of going onto the Guardian and Daily Mail websites and nearly every single comment regarding this match was about whether she should be classed as British or not. Half an hour of my live I will never get back! :cry:
