Absolutely.

The Woodies came out to present the doubles trophy to Kokkinakis/Kyrgios.

(Was this your answer, Donny?)

Collins sure had her moments, leading the second set with a double break.

Gracious speech too.

When Woodbridge was up there speaking after the women's final, I did wonder what Woodforde was up to these days.

Wowee... I did a search just now...

Up comes an article from Aug. 2020, saying they're not on speaking terms. :shock:

"But Woodforde, who lives in California near Indian Wells, told the Break Point podcast earlier this month their friendship is non-existent today."


Did they look relaxed in the presentation, Jezza? Did they look at each other at all?

Tiley had his butt saved by the finals results. They wiped out all memory of the controversies... including the banning (and use of police force) of Peng Shuai t-shirts.

Media claim Jannik Sinner is splitting with his coach, Riccardo Piatti...

Reuters reported in January about the possibility of McEnroe coaching him part-time:

'"I am definitely available on a part-time basis, helping Jannik Sinner getting over the hump -- which I'll believe he'll get over whether I coach him or not," McEnroe told Eurosport.'

JANNIK SINNER OPTS AGAINST JOHN MCENROE AS COACH BUT WILL BORIS BECKER OR MAGNUS NORMAN REPLACE RICCARDO PIATTI?

https://www.eurosport.com/tennis/jannik ... tory.shtml

"It is not clear exactly what has gone wrong in the current relationship.
The results on court seem to have more than good enough for such a young player, even one with so much talent and potential.
...

According to Italian tennis journalist Ubaldo Scanagatta, everything seemed harmonious off the court between Sinner and his team in Melbourne. Scanagatta hints that perhaps there have been disagreements over scheduling or Sinner wanting Piatti to be present during more of his matches. And there’s a suggestion that Sinner wants to take the next step right now and things aren’t moving quick enough.
...

Not only will Sinner have to replace Piatti, but also the rest of his team, as his trainer and physiotherapist look set to loyal to Piatti."

I would like to see the Australian Open got back to be played on grass like it was before.

Be a huge operation at Melbourne park i know but in 10 years time i can see it.

Never think of the AO on the plexi plastic stuff either.

AO is grass
