3 hours ago Jodie Burrage’s luck finally turns to put nightmare run behind her at Australian Open

Briton beats French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean 6-2, 6-4Burrage has come back strongly after string of injuriesAfter a rancid year filled with freak injuries, lengthy layoffs and doubts that dug deep into her soul, Jodie Burrage’s first grand slam match in 12 months could not have met a more satisfying ending. One point away from one the most significant victories of her career, the 25-year-old’s forehand clipped the top of the net and dribbled down onto the opposite side of the court as a clean winner. Finally, her bad luck has turned.The emotions flowed as soon as Burrage’s 6-2, 6-4 first-round victory over Leolia Jeanjean, a qualifier, was complete. First she covered her face with both hands in disbelief, then she retreated to her chair and wept into her towel. “It was always going to come out at some point,” she said later. Continue reading...

His form has nosedived since, plummeting from third in the world to 12th, with only two tournament victories in that time.He has the full throated support of Melbourne’s massive Greek community out on John Cain Arena this morning, but he has his work cut out against 20-year-old rising star Alex Michelsen who has vaulted from 601 in the world to 41st in just two years.Since her much-discussed break with coach Brad Gilbert after her disappointing US Open performance (losing to fellow American Emma Navarro, who is the eighth seed in Australia), Gauff’s record is an extraordinary 18-2 since the US Open. With new coach Matt Daly, Gauff has ironed out much of the issues with her forehand and serve and is playing a brand of highly confident tennis. Further, the fact that Gauff is o...

18 hours ago Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz give US a double threat at Australian Open

This year marks the first time in nearly 20 years that both an American man and woman are seeded in the top four of a majorAnalyzing a grand slam draw before the tournament begins is a fraught exercise. Very rarely does a draw play to form as upsets and injuries can disrupt the seemingly logical progression of the 128-player field. And how a player is performing heading into the event is often a better indicator of their chances than their ranking or seeding would indicate. Further, no major is as difficult to forecast as the Australian Open, which is already under way in Melbourne; being that it’s the first big tournament after the sport’s “off-season” (if one can call six weeks a legitimate off-season), it’s very tough to gauge the level of the top players.Having said that, things do look promising for the top American man and woman at the Australian Open, as Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff are playing stellar tennis. The duo teamed up to lead the United States to victory in the Unite...
