Oh boy the seeded players are really taking a tumble at Brisbane International tennis.
Our (Aussie) two boys who have just moved from junior competitions to the big boys comp, put out No 5 & No 6 seeds on the first day. I didn't get to see any of those matches and I had been feeling sorry for the boys coming up against seeded players but they did extremely well and moved into the second round.
Unfortunately one did get to play Tomic (also an Aussie) last night and while the first set was pretty even, second game was over fairly quick with Tomic winning. I had the job of organizing the kids who wanted balls etc signed to take them down into the players box after the match and to his credit Bernie Tomic signed every one there and even posed for selfies when he was asked. maybe he has grown up a bit, as he had been offhanded with kids and fans in the past. I thanked him before herding the kids back out of the box.
Three seeded players Lisicki, Jankovic and Azarenka, on the women's tournament also went out in the first round and this morning just watched Kerber No 3 get ousted in the second round.
