Ooooolll how ya go in mate....reckon on 42 logic Ash Barty should beat her next opponent easily...Barry is top 20 these days and her opponent Serena Williams is ranked 452...Barty to win in straight sets.....

Serena is ranked 452 for one reason. That's because she hasn't played a Grand Slam tournament for 16 months. Her record of 23 Grand Slams speaks for itself as she's one of the all-time greats of the women's tennis. Ash Barty may win a mickey mouse tournament here and there but she's no champion let me tell you, just like every other Aussie tennis player.

and Tomic used be ranked in the teens but is ranked where he is now because of his recent antics....so as much as Williams should beat Barty with ease....so should of Tomic against the Argentine boy...more so because the guy drove 10hrs straight with granny just to play Tomic....but hey I am just going on what 42 said....the Argentine had a better ranking than Tomic and duly won....I just assume applying that logic of 42s Barty should beat Williams with ease....regardless of Williams prior feats....LOL

Roman I presume you are talking about today's Australian tennis players. If you are talking on all Australian tennis players I would disagree. The best male and female tennis players I have seen are the Australians Rod Laver and Margaret Court.

I wouldn't have minded playing on JA's grass court which I believe came from White City.

Swan 42: thanks for sharring yor opinion on the abilities of Court and Laver, as I was going to ask you at some point. Who would be your top American player?

Yes that's ancient history. Since those two, the good ones have been few and far between.
