Now that the top 3 are real top 3 material and winning everything (well mainly Serena) we finally have order in the WTA and this Australian Open is still wide open as to who could win. Victoria has won like 10 matches in a row here and is the number 1, Maria is playing her best tennis since 2008 and Serena is playing the best tennis of her life. Not to mention all 3 women have a chance to end the tournament number 1. It's exciting to watch  .

Yeah, the fact that the top 3 is playing well, apart from Vika's slight faltering, is one of the positive things this year. However, I'd love to see the others offer a little challenge at least. The rest of the women just don't cut it, and have awful matches against each other most of the time. At this rate when Serena retires, I'll stop following the WTA tour. Thankfully, I've got more into men's matches.

But yeah how are you feeling? And how the hell did you break your foot  |
NP.
Well, I had a little incident and smashed it into something. I have a 7 week rest ahead of me. I'm managing, but the pains and the fact that I can't do a lot are the pits.

To be fair, Simon doesn't come across that fit. Considering the conditions and the length of the match, I'm not surprised his fitness was so heavily tested.
Or maybe you could just keep the rallies shorter than 70 strokes.
. I won't be too keen on watching an Azarenka-Sharapova rivalry either, Azarenka seems to own her on courts that aren't made of clay. And Radwanska may be top 3...a damn shame 
It was the dumb style of play more than anything. You gotta go for your shots more. 5 hours of these kind of rallies would not be easy for Novak and Rafa too.
