Rumble Down Under: WTA 500/ATP 250 Adelaide International II; WTA 250 Hobart + ATP 250 Auckland, NZ

 

We're off to the races in 2023 and into our second week of regulation Tennis. This is our last prep week before the first Major of the year, the Australian Open. This week the WTA and ATP are competing in the Adelaide International II, the WTA is also in Hobart, Tasmania, and the ATP is in Auckland, New Zealand, before most head to the AO in Melbourne next week. There were more than a few last-minute withdrawals for various reasons.

In the meantime enjoy some of the most adorable animals Down Under - including some who spend a great deal of their time in the air or also on two legs!👇

At Last! 2023 Season begins.....

Merry Christmas - Countdown to 2023 Season

 

Eleven more days until the Official 2023 Tennis Season begins with the inaugural, combined ATP/WTA 500 United Cup in Australia on December 29, 2022. And it's only one month until the first Major of 2023 - the Australian Open!

It's been a wild ride in 2022 and we think we've documented the highs and lows of the 2022 season for 52 weeks this year. 

I would like to thank my partners in this - Trinigirl and Hartt in keeping MCM alive and kickin' for the past year.  Week in and week out we documented - without fear or favor or compensation (well perhaps a little favor) - the many high crimes and misdemeanors throughout the year with our collective blood, sweat and tears. We hope you appreciate and enjoy our efforts to keep our small MCM family blog alive🙏

God willing, we hope to keep us all going for another year! In the meantime, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone here and your families and thank you all for your participation.  In the meantime, enjoy some Holiday Greetings from around the World and a couple of my favorite Christmas music videos👇🎄🎅
