The 2024 Australian Open

[the coming of gary]

"... I haven't posted for a year, so - -- RIP Ted. RIP Yogib. RIP Simon. RIP Jonesy. The years first Grand Slam is here. Starting a day early on Sunday, to ease some of the ridiculous 3-am finishes. Some Seed numbers ; 1 - Djokovic - going for an incredible eleventh title... Carrying a wrist injury, though. 8 - Rune - the Dane is only 20 but ready to challenge now 10 - De Minaur - beat Novak in the united cup and has made the top 10. Aussie home favourite 19 - Norrie - The only British seeded player U - Dan Evans - unlucky to be unseeded, and could meet Alcaraz in round two ... and the Women ; 2 - Sabalenka - big and strong, Defending champion 3 - Rybakina - won Wimbledon 2022, could win this too 7 - Vondrousova - current Wimbledon champion, not a good record in Melbourne though 16 - Garcia - top French player, interesting draw against the returning Osaka .."

"This’ll be the year when somebody new wins a slam. Sinner; Ruud; Korda; Rune! Can’t see Novak having the same success he did last year, only losing Wimbledon stopped him getting the Grand Slam!"
