–

MELBOURNE, Australia – There was another withdrawal in Adelaide.

This time last week’s semifinalist Irina-Camelia Begu.

And so, a fifth lucky loser (Kanepi) joined the party. And even with all that, it’s STILL a really good draw.

Kudermetova vs Azarenka was the first women’s match up on the main court. And it was another battle – one of many over the last 10 days on the women’s side of this event.

(Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead of Eastern time; Hobart is 16 hours).
