Week 1 - Hopman Cup, Perth, Australia (Indoor Hard)

JonH · All-time great

Decent week for cam beating two good players and an experience for both in playing fed and Serena. Presumably this is the last ever Hopman Cup so not ashamed by the week they had.

Very decent week indeed. Two good wins for Cam, a good performance from Katie against some strong players, and it looks like we have another mixed doubles team lined up for the slams !

Cameron Norrie (GBR) d Frances Tiafoe (USA) 7-6(4) 6-0
Serena Williams (USA) d Katie Boulter (GBR) 6-1 7-6(2)

It is mildly irritating that the Hopman Cup website appears unable to keep up with the Hopman Cup results!

That terrrific win for our two ( ) even warranted a report by the Beeb.

I noticed that - they used to have a live score ticker thing also but I couldn't find one this year.

Yes - but look at the standings in the round robin, and they haven't caught up with this morning's results.

I only saw the highlights which can be misleading but based on this 11 mins, Katie played exceptionally well and much better than her first match. She was competitive in the rallies and games and there's no way this won't give her incredible confidence going into the year.

...presumably the live play has ended though if you tried it after around noon UK time?

Shame Norrie is being forced to take part in this Disney Land cup, that nobody cares about. He could be taking great advantage of some really weak ATP 250 right now. In Pune ATP 250 right now, the 8th seed is WR 82.......and 40 year old Karlovic is in the QF........

Ah, you're probably right. Anyway, i just watched the highlights of their doubles against Serena and Tiafoe, on You tube, which was what I was really interested to see.
