Second seed Olivia Rogowska (St Kilda, Vic) heads the Magenta Group which includes Optus 18s semifinalist Azra Hadzic (Keysborough, Vic), Belinda Woolcock (Mt Waverley, Vic) and Daniella Jeflea (Blackhurst, NSW).

[jaccol55]

Soderling nie wystartuje w AO, jak donosi jego agentka.

Czyżby Szwed miał przegrać swój najważniejszy pojedynek (z chorobą)?

[DUN I LOVE]

Niestety, ostra mononukleoza powoduje takie skutki.

A w Melbourne powoli czuć klimatem AO. Poniżej mecz Duckwortha z Savillem. Słońce i panorama Melbourne - cudo.

[Widzu]

Dun Ty to jednak jesteś wariat! Jak Ty taki mecz dorwałeś?
Gdybyś miał video do spotkań John-Patrick Smith'a byłbym wdzięczny. Koleś zapowiada się na niezłego grajka i chciałbym go w akcji zobaczyć...
