AO last year definitely saw higher bouncing balls and slower conditions than the USO, hopefully it is similar this year.

I guess her right shoulder is not entirely OK, after all. Something she will have to manage in the next couple weeks.
If I remember correctly Alcaraz lost in a practice session he had with Djokovic 2-6 or something like that and then defeated him in the actual tournament.
And it also did when she practiced with Kontaveit (?) before USO. I would wait until she plays R1 & R2 to draw any conclusions.

Yes, of course. It's too early to ring the alarm bells. Although it might be a good idea to lower our expectations. 😂

Her first practices at USO were really bad if I remember correctly. Serve not serving, FH out or into the net and she was very frustrated. Also streets are saying that today in Melbourne was super hot and sunny. Like sun in your face. And if she really has sth with that shoulder, then Tomasz probably told her to take it easy.

Iga is scheduled for a 90 min practice (presumably on one of the show courts):

I don't think Iga is injured. That's just explanation for WTA, otherwise she could have paid fine for late withdrawal. Iga just needs time to adjust to these conditions: surface, balls, weather etc. Nothing new. Practice is one thing, match is another.
