I’m super excited for these next two weeks. The start of a new season is so exciting because anything can happen. Favorites might be rusty, darkhorses might be fitter, etc. I can see about ten women hoisting the trophy. Here’s for a great fortnight!

It’s like being at Roland Garros and picking Nadal all the way through. I picked Justine, Justine and Justine, and then after that had no idea! I’ve probably respected seeding a little too much but I think that a lot of players will tire themselves out in the top half of the draw and JJ will sneak through, while in the bottom half, Svetlana’s currently proving why she’s WTA No. 2.

Pov,

Generally we do the daily picks contest, but because most of our readers are based in the USA, it is a little hard to schedule due to the time difference.

It won’t be easy to make a bracket before the start of play, but the good thing is we still plan to award the prizes to the person who comes closest to the actual final draw.

Venus’ full name is “Venus Ebone Starr Williams”

That said this is tough. To pick before any rounds have been played?

The women’s Racquet Bracket is at http://www.tourneytopia.com/RacquetBracketAussieOpenWTA/AussieOpenWTA/SubmitPicks/Picks.aspx
and the layout there helps. I’ll wait for the burst of inspiration.
