Hopefully the weather is good.

good luck to shushu :cheer:

Beth could play up to 4 matches. :spit:

GL Jarka

So Saturday final right?

The forecast I have says rain until about 3PM, when it will become "showers" :help: so I imagine they will get some play in, but the completion of the doubles event is in peril at this point IMO :scared:.

This is ridiculous. Bethanie is gonna be screwed over. She needs to withdraw from doubles. 4 matches in one day is impossible especially before a final. :o

Where's the fourts? :o I only see 3. :tape:

If she wins her first 2 doubles match, last match on court 8 is her.

raining? :o

play will start 12:45 local time

crap, raining again?

Yes they look for a 12:45 start now

They are being very optimistic by saying 12:45 (in 20 minutes). Centre Court is no where near close, unless they are looking for Court 1 and 8 to be done by that time since they were supposed to have play earlier.

Yes they look for a 12:45 start now

thx :dance:

1:30 push back now.

1:30 push back now.

:o

It's raining again that's why.

freaking rain...

HobartTennis: The cleanup is underway here - hopefully some play soon. In the meantime check out the AO Draw here http://bit.ly/5BLkSb Play to start 1:30

HobartTennis: Bethanie Mattek-Sands is hitting up - looking good for a start at 1:30pm local time. Very exciting! She has a great outfit on!

Play :D!

GL Daniella and Jess

Peng 0
Mattek-Sands 0

'Play re-commencing at 3:30pm local time'

GRRRRRRRRRR!!!! :mad:

Stream is now saying...

'Play re-commencing at 4:30pm'



:help:

oh god :help:

still raining?

Still plenty of rain forecast around Hobart tonight, http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR373.loop.shtml#skip

Seems unlikely we'll get any kind of play again today. :(

Looks like they're drying the courts at least. Hopefully it holds off so at least one match gets finished.

:mad:

The cleanup getting underway with promising skies. Looks like the GROTH V ZAKOPALOVA match will start at 7pm with M-SANDS V PENG to follow.

I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled the doubles tournament... unless players what to stay until Sunday. Singles should be completed tomorrow I think however.

Why they make Groth/Zako play first? :fiery:

WHat about the prize money? Championship points? Sponsors?

Too many issues if they do that, I doubt the organizers will wanna take that risk...

Peng and Mattek - play resumed!

Peng 3-1*

Peng serving for the first set at *5-4

Peng 6-4, 0-0*

:)

1-2* Jarka ;)

Both players playing well :)

:o 2-2

Why they make Groth/Zako play first? :fiery:

They seem to have given preferrence to Groth all week over the other players :o Everytime there has been a long rain delay, she is always first to get her match played :help:

:o Come on Jarka

:lol: Just like she was the only player to play on Tuesday so then she had like 2 days rest. While the other players had to play multiple matches.

:lol: The girl commentator was like: "its great having Jarka marry an Aussie its great for the other Aussie girls in the top 50" :o theres only one aussie girl that is not Jarka in the top 50

OMG, I just realised its Casey Dellacqua

:bolt: Jarka's returns

:woohoo: 6-3 Jarka :)

6-3 6-2. Groth is playing so well lately :yeah:

Beth & Meghann has just won their first round doubles match... now time to rest and play their second one in a row... third for Mattek!

Hilarious, if Beth/Meg win R2 and Groth/Klara win their doubles match, they'll meet in the QF. :spit:

will Beth and Meghann play again today????? os what happenned?

It's past midnight in Hobart, i doubt they will play...... :confused:

Did Bethanie/Meg withdraw? On the Saturday OOP it says that Groth/Klara are in the SF Katya B and her partner.
