MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

If the semifinal against Aussie wild card Kimberly Birrell was a good bit of draw luck, it’ll be a bigger challenge for Victoria Mboko in the Adelaide final, as she faces No. 3 seed Mirra Andreeva.

In Hobart, the title is very much up for grabs.

Unfortunately, the powers-that-be have decided to put both finals on at the same time.

(Adelaide 15 1/2 hours ahead of ET and Hobart 16 hours ahead)
