AO 2009 R1 MIXED: Jamie/Liezel beat Guccione/Ferguson 6'2, 7'5.

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie and Liezel, 4th seeds, finally take to the courts to start their Australian Open Campaign on Sunday 25th January.

Their first round opponents are the Australian pairing of Chris Guccione and Sophie Ferguson so the crowd may be a little biased.
:wink:

The match is 4th up on the Margaret Court Arena.
Allowing 90mins for the 3 preceding doubles matches, 1 mixed, 1 mens, 1 ladies, the estimated on-court time is 3.30pm in Melbourne.

4.30am for us in the UK.........and probably on Slamtracker only!!!
:shades:

Bring on the black coffee - I'll be here to cheer!!!

[RFS]

Oh thank the lord. i stayed up to watch JJ dump herself out of the AO by playing like an amateur... and I just couldn't have faced a loss for Jamie too.

[Sallydaisy]

I'll change the thread title!!!

Whatever happened to Jelly out there???

[Linda]

Well done Jamie & Liezel! :clap::clap::cheer::cheer::swingin::swingin:

[RFS]

Whatever happened to Jelly out there???

Don't even ask.... JJ, Honey... if you want to talk all the live-long day about being the women's #1, then you had better get your head out of your recently worked on behind, and PLAY like a #1.
Keep going like that sweetie and the ONLY slam you'll have to your name is the one you won with the cute, goofy Scottish guy....!

Sher never woke up - she was slow... she played appallingly, and Bartoli played out of her skin.

[Joyce]

Well - played Jamie & Liezel!!

[jane]

Nice result for me to wake up to!! Well done Jamie and Liezel:clap::clap:

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks to Pam, Sally & Matt for the early livescoring.Props to Pam and Matt more like........
I staggered out of bed about 10mins into the match and followed livescore before nodding back off when it was over and I confess to not even coming on to say hello to the other 2.
I don't think my brain would have engaged very well with my fingers so I'd have probably posted rubbish.
:shamed:
