Hi everyone. Here's today's gathering-place for discussing all the tennis that's going on. With the events under way being spread across so many different timezones, the past few days in TW have felt as though the TWibe is watching tennis 24/7 - the volume of comments is enormous, especially given that the Australian Open has yet to start (11 days to go!).
Congratulations to Amelie Mauresmo, who seems to be having quite a week, now having knocked out the top seed Ana Ivanovic in Brisbane. Anne Keothavong deserves a mention too - In Auckland she became the first British woman to reach a tour semifinal since Jo Durie back in 1992.
As usual we ask that you keep any off-topic conversations until the day's matches are over.
Enjoy the rest of today's tennis.
