Yeh no need for alarm bells yet. Judging by the way Simona was smiling and acknowledging the crowd, despite losing the match, she knows she played a good match- just a bit rusty, which is to be expected. On to melbourne we go.

Pornsak is david carr, in case you all don't know. Block that P O S! It's a much better landscape with out his blighted rubbish. He's a sadsak of shit, truly.

Both are hard working athletes with low key personas. Hoping Si mo na prevails though.

Pornsak is officially a troll... I'm going to shower you with Romanian rainbows and unicorns...the good shall prevail.

Aw Si mo na. Keep at it. Yippee for Barty. The home crowd must be proud. Good win, taking out the #1 player. Emu feather for her cap! She's the ????? knees!

I hope barty win to shut up annoy romanian

Don’t be a troll, Pornsak.

What 1st match for Halep!

My comment is clear

Great with Ashleigh. Thank you for winning in straight sets. Waiting for fantastic Stefanos

Pornsak, you’re making me call into question my New Years resolution on trying to have civil conversations with everyone.

Go Ash ! it will be hard against Simo again but it'd be nice to to take your revenge.

Good warmup match for both so far.

Hmm.

Wowsers! A real battle here.

What are you going on about Pornsak?

Wow! Well done Ash!

Hahaha

Good effort from Simona, of course her first match back there’s going to be some rust but Ashleigh also had more matches to hone her entertaining craft. Time to get to work in Melbourne.
