PYW Australian Open

Welcome to Melbourne, Australia! This is what the past two weeks have all been revolving around: the Australian Open is here! Players will need their good preparation to get them far into the draw of the first Grand Slam of the year.

This year, Dementieva, again, is one of the favourites, going into the tournament as a #1. Will she make a hat-trick down under? Vote now as the quarterfinal's stage begins!
