MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

WTA Tour – Thursday, Jan. 5, 2023 final results

ADELAIDE, Australia – After Wednesday’s rain, it’s a heavy schedule in Auckland that included Canadians Leylah Fernandez and Rebecca Matino.

And Coco Gauff vs. Sofia Kenin. And Emma Raducanu.

And Venus Williams.

But this tournament feels like it’s going to end up being an indoor event – which means a whole lot of refunding of the tickets bought.

After a few stops and starts, they gave up and moved the entire schedule indoors, with Venus up 6-3, 2-4 against Zhu Lin when they made the switch. She was up 5-3 in the third as well. But couldn’t close it out as Emma Raducanu went down with an ankle injury on the slippery indoor courts ahd had to retire.

In Adelaide, Ons Jabeur was literally the last person on the tournament to get on court, as the No. 1 seed on the women’s side has the late-night slot on the stadium court.

She got off to a bit of a rocky start, but eventually prevailed.
