Shame about that injury. She really is a great talent...I hope she is ok for the AO.

Les balles en mousse, c'est pour ne pas forcer son poignet, je pense -- et puis c'est normal. En phase de récupération ce serait bête d'aller frapper de vrais de balles et de faire une rechute avec ce poignet. Je ne suis pas trop inquiet aussi...

Kiki's AO draw:

Sloane Stephens (USA) [29] vs. Simona Halep (ROU)
Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) vs. Timea Babos (HUN)
Melanie Oudin (USA) vs. Laura Robson (GBR)
Francesca Schiavone (ITA) vs. Petra Kvitova (CZE) [8]

As we really don't know what to expect from her given the state of her health, I can only wish her the best luck. Gooo Kiki!

[Ollie_R]

Well Babos hasn't won a match since August, so Kiki has some chance of beating her if she is playing well. Good luck to her anyway.

Hard to say how Kiki will play

[sharapovafrench]

Kristina should be the favorite for this first round ! But who knows... She is also so unpredictable !

[améliemomo]

hopefully she will be ok

Kiki hit the ball with Jovanovski yesterday (on Australian Sunday)



















Thanks to Melange for the awesome pics.

One match is winnable for sure But Stephens will be too much for her American player is in great form.
Let's go Kiki!

Yeah I agree. It looks quite obvious she lost the practice match.
I don't know what to expect either... Can a rusty Kristina overcome a slumping Babos?

Thanks for the pics

Come on guys, ne nous abandonnons pas à la paranoïa. C'est peut-être tout simplement le photographe qui a pris la photo au mauvais moment qui donne cette impression. Crois-moi c'est facile à faire...

Personally I'm very confident -- Kiki really has a draw for 3 wins at least and maybe more. I really expect her at least to get rid of her first opponent whether it be in 2 or 3 doesn't really matter. She's really so beautiful too, fit and ready to go.

Kiki takes 1st set 6-3 keep going Kiki!

[Mary Chain]

Lost set 2 4-6 Allez!
