Bad Austrailian Open for Russians

All crashed out first round other than Myskina, Jidkova, and Bovina :mad:

I knew this draw was bad!!!

What about Anna?

If one of them makes the quarters, I'll consider it an acceptable AO..

Oops, forgot about Nadya, perhaps, our best hope to reach quarters.

Panova is still playing and doing it pretty well :)

still bad... they lost matches they werre supposed to win: Dinara (yes, she was), Lena D. :confused:, Lena L. :(:(:(...

I expected more from Maria as well...

My prediction for the rest of the tournament (if no injuries)

Bovina - quarters
Jidkova -3rd round
Myskina - 2d round
Kournikova - 2rd
Petrova - quarters
Panova - 3d round

still a very disappointing tourn indeed.

we need 2 players in week 2 to make it satisfactory.

c'mon girls, 13 in maindraw and left with just 6.

and the way Vera crashed out doesn't look too good even though she played Lena B.
