Collins is really solid. I think Kenin is like Coco. Will disappear.

Kenin is definitely a hot head and needs to get better control of her emotions. That said, I like her fighting spirit.

The relief match for the Australian fires took place yesterday. I was hoping they would invite Agassi and Sampras back so they could make more awkward comments about each other but sadly they weren't there.

Novak has been pretty vocal about the playing conditions which is likely why Brayden didn't include his name regarding the top guys speaking out.

Lol what does he want Fedal to do? Tell the organizers that they will pull out unless they improve conditions? Push back the Australian Open? Conditions have been crap but them coming out and saying something isn't going to magically fix it.

They also participated today in a rally that helped raise over $4 Million to fight the fires in Australia and Fedal pledged $250K. How much money did Brayden donate?

The number one concern has to be the health of the players and if they're breathing in toxic air, they shouldn't be playing. If Fed, Rafa, and Djoker come out united and say we can't be playing in these conditions, it would carry tremendous weight and I think tourney organizers would seriously consider cancelling the tournament.

I agree, the health of the players should be number one but I don't think there is anything that can be done given the circumstances. There is no way they would cancel the tournament, there is so much money involved with sponsors, TV deals, and all tickets have been sold as well.

It's still pretty weak from Roger and Rafa to basically ignore the unfair conditions since, of course, they'll be given ideal conditions to play in. At least Novak speaks out even though he'll get the same preferential conditions (or maybe he will now be given #### courts as a reprisal from the Aussies for speaking).

Djokovic: “When we landed few days ago, the air quality was really bad. But yesterday and today it’s fine. I mean, most of the players they feel the same, that means it’s playable conditions so as to say.”

how are Roger and Rafa going to be given ideal conditions? are they going to build an airtight dome for only their matches? or just a half a dome over their side of the court, so that they get the clean air while thick plumes of smoke are pumped to their opponent's side?

Ummm the AO has two indoor courts so yes Roger and Rafa would be playing their matches inside with minimal smoke.

Denis just got bounced out of Auckland 7-5 6-4 by the young kid Ugo Humbert of France. Oh well, he can use a few days off before the Aussie Open.

A couple of Spaniards can commiserate with Shapo because ARV just got knocked off by Tommy Paul 6-3, 6-4.

And PCB also got upset by the #2 South African Lloyd Harris (or Lloyd George Muirhead Harris) by a score of 6-3, 6-3.
