It's hard to believe that a new season is starting all ready, but in a few mere days, the excitement will be overwhelming. The Hopman Cup, Brisbane, Auckland, Doha, Chennai-and all essentially at once-will start in the first week of the new year (or in 2010 if you're not in Australia, NZ, or nearby).
The players are all arriving-Dinara had some interesting airport woes, Roddick, Sharapova, and Wozniacki are at their respective locations, and Pivovarova sent a (flirty?) tweet to Feli and Fernando, telling them to hurry to Brisbane (including pictures of their IDs, weirdly enough).
Apparently Sveta is excited for a reunification of the Russian Fed Cup team. Wait, Maria has friends?
I know I'm anxiously awaiting draws to set up my tennis pool-I'll be passing the time by watching tennis clips and spending a day in New York City.
Happy new season!
