Thought this could be worth a try for the new season. The plan is for this to be a weekly thread with just tennis talk: match talk, current events in tennis etc. Spamming (including muggy politics talk) and other sports talk can be done elsewhere such as the usual megathreads. I'm not sure we have enough posters here to make this work, but let's see how it goes. I know we have contributors to this tennis phorum that don't post much these days because of all the spamming in the megathreads but on the other hand match threads don't really work these days so I figured a thread like this could be a good comprimise which will hopefully encourage those posters to post. If these tennis threads work, we can continue with them, if not we don't.

draw says Woz/Puig
Cos Woz is now seeded probably.
Why the f is protennislive scoreboard so muggy now. When I click any buttons on it they don't work, I just get empty black screens.
4 qualifiers dumped down the bottom of the draw. Rads has a bye and then a qualifier and then possibly a qualifier.

Have you tried refreshing?
Yes.
Thankfully, only aaron is around and he already knew I was foolish.
Bouchard is the next big thing ww. Bet accordingly.

the most accomplished 22 year old to have ever lived.
n88 has become such a pottymouth lately. needs to get rid of that habit if he ever wants to have a successful career in the WTA organization.
I feel like he is falling back to old habits rather than this being new behaviour
we have Australians frequenting this phorum, for them it's not.
sounds like Zhang's coach is telling her to bash the ball.
My Chinese isn't the best though so I could be wrong.

Ha, I didn't notice JJ has started this season out of top 50.
Is Cabrera the next big thing? According to TA, she started 2016 season ranked 1127, and this season she opened as #216. She must be in top 200 after this match (following the discussion from last week, she is another player who just won her 1st Tour match, even beating a #40 ranked player).
Yes mouse. I reckon she'll be a house hold name soon enough, so I've already started using the diminutive 'Liz' in anticipation.
that's not why you use "Liz" 
Anyway, future looks bright for Australian women's tennis with these two.

What a crock of absolute feckin' bull****. 3 lucky losers and no spot for Broady who was highest ranked to boot.
The aussies obviously have lost all respect for their past colonial overlords. How petty.
Maybe Naomi Broady didn't sign up for a LL spot because she was 100% convinced she'd become qualies champion. Or because she is disgusted by freebies and only wants to play in main draws if she truly earned it herself.
oh, Superettan team Örgryte is in fact another Göteborg team
please stop spamming the tennis talk thread with football talk. It's always the same with you
true, and I sincerely apologize for my poor behaviour
You shall be forgiven this time, but there won't be many more such gentle warnings.
too excited about the upcoming Croatia trip to concentrate on the task at hand.
Mahut had lost 4 points on serve in his first 8 service games. Come the 9th game, serving for the match, he faces his first break point at 30-40 and promptly double faults the break away.
Thanks. Thought she had lost against Watson too and obviously deleted the Petkovic match from memory
I guess Mahut can't believe what happened at the end of the 2nd set
Was lucky in the end. He almost lost his serve a 2nd straight time at 5-5.

and the luck was with him in the TB. He looked down and out after the two poor service games and when 0-2 in TH, but Bellucci demonstrated one cannot just trust his instincts at all.
something with her feet. hopefully just retaping or some blijsters.
yeah, Bellucci made some horrible errors in the tiebreak like the drop shot that handed Mahut the mini break back, but frenchman also earned his luck with splendid returns at 3-2 and 4-2.

Drat. Was asleep at the wheel. What price was Bencic at the MTO?
I hate missing out on free money at 7 in the morning 
Poots was low 1.4/high 1.3 after winning the set. Belinda called the trainer and odds plummeted to 1.27. Based on treatment didn't look that bad so odds went back to mid 1.3's. Became apparent one play started again something was wrong though. Still didn't stop odds from going high 1.6's when Belinda went a break up in 2nd. Missed odds at time of retirement but 1.3 maybe?

Poor shoe
ruined a perfectly fine shoe and couldn't complete the match anyway.
Its the beginning of the season... how does JJ have that much taping on her feet?
She took a tumble late in the match against Halep last week
It was on her feet. It looked like blister bandages. If there is one thing I'm going to do as a pro-tenniser, is pitch up down under without any blisters.
Yes shoes came off. It was gross for this time of the year.
Gosh, you're so presumptuous knowing better than a 15+ year tour veteran
She's obviously been playing in the underground tour during the off-season.
It's more Babos just missing that Kasatkina raising her level. The Hungarian keeps missing regular shots very early in the rally right now.
3 finals in a row no one else here...THE DEATH OF THE TENNIS FORUM.
