Australian Open 2021
Here we are, the first major of 2021. Tennis Australia did the unthinkable:
managed to get something like more than 1000 people into Australia and not
cause a major health crisis in one of the very very few places on the planet
that can say they keep the whole C19 shit really and truly under control.
Kudos to them! Sadly the situation also exposed a few of our persons of
interest (the athletes) as being, to put it mildly, a bit out of touch with
the current reality. But we're over that! Two weeks or more have passed, so
let's forget all the hoopla and focus on the task at hand: AO! Yeah baby!
We're done with the Victoria touristy stuff! So here are the three main
courts instead.
|
| Rod Laver Arena - 15000 seats |
|
| John Cain Arena - almost 10000 seats |
|
| Margaret Court Arena - 7500 seats and allegedly the fastest opening roof in the world |
First let's see the notable (top 50) absentees. For the ATP: Federer, Garin, Isner and Gasquet. For the WTA: Bertens, Keys, Yastremska, Anisimova and Linette. And now here are the draws (projected R32).
