Brisbane has come to an end, rather fast. Serena needed just 50 minutes to demolish Pavlyuchenkova: 6-2, 6-1. The Russian fought quite nicely back in the first four games but then Serena just took over. This is a clear message to everybody in the field: Serena is ready to capture the Australian Open title! The question now is who will stop her?
In other news: both Na Li and Radwanska did good in their other tournament. The Chinese won in Shenzhen by defeating Zakopalova: 6-3, 1-6, 7-5. Radwanska grabbed the ASB classic trophee by beating Wickmayer: 6-4, 6-4 in a solid performance of the Belgian.
Mentally a title is definitely a good start but the real competition was in Brisbane, so a real test has yet to follow. And they will find it in Sydney! A lot of top players are already in Sydney for training and Stosur is one of them (yes, smiling!)
Some more news: Wozniacki is also in Sydney with McIlroy ... everywhere.
Sad news: Petkovic is out again after playing in the Hopman Cup. A knee injury putting her out of business for two months. At least she hasn't lost her sense of humor, tweeting things like this:
'Eating cake and watching Interpol concert on TV. Hospital isn't too bad after all. And lips and botox face turned out fine btw.'
'On the to-do-list: 1.Cut my hair. Short. Very short. 2.Dye it pink or blonde 3. Hold Rafa's hand until we're both healthy again.'
'Just kidding. I would never do that......the Rafa thing, I mean ;)'
If I have a photo of Petkovic with pink short hair, you will see it appear here!
Keep posted for Sydney! (and yes, it can be bad weather there too, who knew?!)
