AO at last!

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!

Busy Ozzie Week!

 AO Prep in Overdrive

At last, after two tough weeks of quarantine (with all the hoopla that entailed), every player can go wherever they want no masks no nothing. Yep. Australia has zero local C19 spread and all their cases are coming from abroad and are in isolation instantly. Normality never looked stranger!

Welcome to 2021!

 This is a reboot!

Phew! 2020 is in our rear view mirror. Tennis starts again, but it won't be normal business yet. So the tournaments this week start on Tuesday or even Wednesday. And also end somewhere in the middle of next week. Do not ask me why. We get two for the men and one for the women. But! The WTA is a 500 while the ATPs are both just 250. You do the math!
