			I think there's a more than 50/50 chance Osaka's played her last match. She's famous enough to move on to other things.

Yeah, famous enough and she makes enough money via endorsements alone that she never has to pick up a racquet for a competitive match ever again.  Not having to endure a post-match presser is a good enough reason to stay away as well.

			Well, Tracy Austin's son Brandon Holt is making back-to-back grand slam main draws as he just qualified for the Aussie Open after qualifying for the 2022 US Open.

			AO draw is happening as I type, I'm hearing FAA versus Stan the Man is a potential 2nd round match.

			That's a terrible draw for both. Draper is on fire, he might take that one.

			Come on Yuriko Miyazaki, troutman will not be happy if Coco Vandeweghe makes the main draw down under.

			This is a horrible draw for Nadal who has Medvedev, Tsitsipas, FAA Tiafoe all in his half. Plus Draper is ranked 40th in the world and is playing great. They do realize Nadal is the #1 seed right?

			Not sure where this great run of form has come from Katherine, but just for making the main draw, she earns a little over 100K (her career earnings are a little over 191K prior to this tourney).

now that I've officially boarded the Rafa train for this tourney (other than our own maple leaf boys), I'd say this draw just makes it even more amazing when he successfully defends his title
