I must say this is a well balanced draw in the two groups.

Osaka said in her press conference her father was only a fill in coach,though I must say since he came on board,she won Osaka and Beijing tournaments,playing the brand of tennis she is capable of.Maybe this is just a coincidence that Sascha is now available to coach in 2020.I guess we will see at the end of the year,or early in 2020.

Interesting

Margaret Court's still paying for intolerant attitude about gay marriage after 2 years! She's looking for recognition/50th Ann. of her Cal. Yr. GS like Rod Laver did earlier this year at the AO tourney! She's beggin' for an invitation that may never come! She'll be lucky if they don't take her name off the existing stadium!

'Hypocrite': Margaret Court's controversial recognition call divides tennis world

Court wants the same recognition that was afforded to Rod Laver's 1969 Grand Slam anniversary at the Australian Open earlier this year, and says she won't return to Melbourne Park unless she is formally welcomed back.

Court, who holds the all-time record of 24 grand slam singles titles, has not attended the Australian Open since 2017, when she was heavily criticized after voicing her opposition to same-sex marriage. ……… :cuckoo:

Even though I do not agree with Margaret's views she has a right to her opinion full stop.I think she should have the same recognition as Rod Laver.Court has 64 GS titles and should be rewarded for her tennis accomplishments.I read today she will be attending the Fed Cup final in Perth over the weekend,her home town and will meet with Craig Tiley to discuss this further.I attended a lunch a few years back with Ken Rosewall at Tennis NSW ,where she was the guest speaker,she was a delight to listen to,also answered many questions,I personally spoke to Margaret after the luncheon was finished.

More power to her and her "right to her opinion!" There are plenty of these people out there who want to indulge in this practice, but then wonder why there are repercussions? Trump has an opinion as well on people, places, & things! I don't think we have to agree with it and have every right to criticize him for them! Free speech can come with a very high price depending on the opinion and circumstances! This was a bad time for Court to be so upfront and honest about how she feels about GAY people! This reminded me of a manager of an apt. complex where I lived! I guess she felt compelled to "save me," lecturing me, proselytizing to no end! She knew she stepped over the line by asking that I don't make a big deal out of it and report her to her bosses! It's not like these people don't realize you can't always get away with "free speech!" I didn't make her pay, but should have! :whistle:

She had better find something very aerobic and cardio to add to her post tour days especially if she drops a calf.. I have a good feeling that she will be back
