SPRING TRAINING

The last two months have been the season of our lack of content.

Tennis lay dormant.

Now, the game begins in full 40 C heat in the middle of the Australian summer.

There will be injuries.

There will be heat exhaustion.

There will be the Australian Open starting 14 January.

The three ‘warm-up’ tournies beforehand:

Doha,

Chennai, India,

Adelaide, Oz.

Most of the top ranked men will skip these and play in the Kooyong exhibition.

Roger will skip Doha for the second year in a row and start in Kooyong.

Last year, Roddick beat Roger here starting the tongues wagging.

In the ‘real’ tournament, THE OZ,

Roger thrashed Roddick [4, 0, 2 ].

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!
