Not sure but hats off to Jelena Dokic for dropping 20kgs v last year. That’s a personal victory for sure and she looks great.

Medication mate you put the pounds on. I put on 20kg from anti-psychotic medication.
She was a great player! Shame about her Dad.

Mentioned 17-18yr old Maya Joint a while back, she is a very good rising female aussie tennis talent. Played a heap on the US hardcourt circuit.
Within 12mths her ranking has gone from 1500+ to potentially top 100 after her Hobart/Aus Open results. Also plays alot of doubles.
She isn’t a grandslam winning potential yet but she is growing with confidence, pending injuries will be surprised if she isn’t top 50 by end of the year.

Can't say I'm that unhappy Nick is out in the first round, it's all the media talks about.
Calling him the king when he's been out of the game for 2 years is a joke.

Yep agreed, always too much emphasis on that knob, I’d much rather watch De Minaur or Kokkinakis.

Totally overhyped player imo. We’re continually searching for a hero and the media happy to oblige. Only one place to be a King and that is on court, I’d say he’s more like a court jester.
Same with Demon, he does ok but another one the media trying to turn into a superstar. If he is good enough we’ll see it in his results, otherwise talk is cheap !

Demon is a top 10 player
Yeah sure him too and a couple of up and comers in the women’s draw as well.

He’s ok, and building,but when he’s No 1 he will have made superstardom in my eyes. Not before.

Think I’ll bail out here coz I don’t really follow the sport closely and only making my own general observations.
Good luck to any/ all Aussie players remaining but see ya Nick !
