It’s the day fans have been waiting for – the beginning of main draw action at Apia International Sydney 2015. And with a particularly stacked women’s field, the big names are gracing Ken Rosewall Arena from the get-go.
Which are the matches to see? Who could cause a boilover? What other things can fans look forward to? Find out all this and more in our Sydney sneak peak for Day 1.
Feature match
Sam Stosur v Lucie Safarova - Ken Rosewall Arena, third match
This match pits the local hope Stosur against the surging Safarova, who displayed great tennis at this week’s Hopman Cup and very nearly toppled world No.1 Serena Williams. Stosur has historically struggled at home, and even more against Safarova; the Aussie is 2-9 lifetime against the Czech, and has difficulty with the left-handed match-up. But she will take confidence from the fact that although the win-loss record is lopsided, the bulk of their matches have been close affairs. Their last contest in Charleston went three tight sets, and there have been many a 7-5 and 7-6 sets throughout their history. It’s going to take a big effort for Stosur to unseat the higher-ranked Safarova, but she’ll have the home crowd behind her on Ken Rosewall Arena.
