AO took advantage of that and used it as a headline.. They ask some **** questions on the courts after the matches

anything is possible in tennis, who thought 16 year old Monica Seles would win a gs that soon and who thought 17 year old Hingis would nearly win 4/4 , you've got to breakout sometime.

Li Na does have bad spells as well, but when she is good she is amazing, depends which one shows up

Li Na has been defying all my expectations this year; I keep expecting her to come up short against her last three opponents but she seems to be getting better with each match. I think the game needs her to win another slam. Both Genie and Li would be good finalists. Just hoping there is a bottom half shock

Genie walked out onto the courts today looking so nervous and from the first serve she was so calm and strong, really surprised how good mentally she is

Where she'll probably get Serena. I'm interested to see who will stand out in the clay season; whether the Italians and Spanish will dominate and whether Errani will drop down the rankings

Vika will be 5/5 in making the last 5 grand slam hard court finals if she makes the final and she has never failed to not win a set in the 4 she has been in. another goat stat for you there

Yeah, Li is unpredictable, I ****ing worry about every match, I worried about Pennetta ffs and she destroyed her.

Li hates teenagers really, look at Laura at the US Open, but if the Li of the last two rounds turns up, soz Bouchard, you're ****ed, Li knows this is probably her last chance of a slam and especially the one she wants so badly </3.

Oh and come on Stan, I'm relying on you and Grigor to stop the inevitable Nadal/Djok final round 4885

Take a ****ing bow, Stan.

Grigor doesn't mind taking out Nadal, does he?

Stan replied to me yesterday with this too

@AustralianOpen: @DeeAFC @stanwawrinka: "It's tough, especially the top 4. If you don't play your best you wont have a chance. Novak perhaps, the 5 sets"

I am the genius behind his victory
