- Reposted by dcbrettmElena Rybakina will take on Aryna Sabalenka in the AO Final Looking forward to this one, a rematch of one of the best Grand Slam Finals we've seen. I ended up picking Sabalenka because she's so good in Australia and she wins all the close matches in this H2H but should be a 50/50 type match.

- Reposted by dcbrettmThese declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.
