I heard Wickmayer is top 50, and a monster to play on grass as she stands 183cm tall!

Anywho, do we really have any prospects?

Casey is a very committed Blues fan and always keeps in touch with the club.

Special day (night in Oz) for her today, as she opens play on Centre Court against AGNIESZKA RADWANSKA, no 4 seed.  She's in career best form so it would be great if she could cause an upset.

Also Luke Saville backs up on Centre Court too.  Another good young kid who is coming through with Kryios.  There is a small light on the horizon!

Go Casey!

Quite happy to come in here and bag Stosur for losing, but nothing about an Aussie doing remarkably well. Cool.

Took me time to post because I'm paying now for having stayed up to watch the match.  Very impressive.  When Rafa broke after Kyrgios was a bit careless while serving when he was 5-6 down in the 2nd set, I thought Rafa would grind him into submission.  Rafa was serving with incredible consistency and Kyrgios was starting to slip.  But credit to Kyrgios, he was able to bring out the big serve on a number of break points to keep the pressure on.  Incredible that he was outhitting Rafa and not with reckless shotmaking. 

Fantastic shot between his legs even if the shot only became necessary because he was caught flatfooted on the baseline.
