The seedings have been determined, the draw has been announced, and now it is your turn to tell us who you think will win the Australian Open!
Take a moment to leave your pick for the women’s singles title in this week’s edition of Open Forum Friday.
I plan to post my own picks later in the day with an analysis of the women’s draw, but this is your opportunity to make your opinion known about this year’s field.
Will this finally be Jelena Jankovic’s moment to shine? Can Venus or Serena add another major title to their distinguished resumes? Or is this an opportunity for a newcomer or an established veteran to rise to the occasion under the lights in Melbourne?
We will continue our tradition of a daily Pick the Winners game during the Grand Slam, so please check back at On the Baseline on Saturday to leave your first pick. We have some excellent prizes in this year’s contest, including a special pass from TennisTV.com, the new official live streaming service of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Please god let Dementieva finally break through to win her first slam-she deserves it.
VENUS WILLIAMS is going to be the winner of the AO 2009
I pick Venus Williams!!!!!!!!!!!!! to win it all.
to Pat: i second the motion! i do hope that dementieva wins her first GS!!!
The ‘09 A.O ladies singles champ will be the winner of the Q.F match btwn Venus and Dementieva. I love venus and want her to win,but if not her Dementieva!
Serena
To echo Kervin and Pat; I really want Dementieva to win. She has been a consistent top player for so long. I hope she can show the spirit she showed during the Olympics.
