Before Aussie wildcard Maddison Inglis turned #AusOpen giant-killer on Tuesday, she did a lot of growing up in the past year. She told @heraldsunsport about it ahead of her R2 match 👇🏻

The @MarkMcGowanMP Gov has done a great job of extinguishing COVID in WA. However they have now also extinguished all hope of WA sports fans to watch live sport for the foreseeable future;kids watching their idols & a massive flow on for development & grass roots.Enough is enough

(3/3)
- there are NO junior events (singles or doubles)
- there is NO wheelchair or quad events (singles or doubles)
It bloody sucks for all the above, plus others, who will be affected by changes to schedules, rules, entries, points allocation & more, over the coming months.
(1/3) What you have done for people with disabilities is remarkable 👏🏻and it has gone way beyond sport @DylanAlcott.
However this **isn't** an issue of discrimination. You are in no way alone in this one mate.
@usopen facts for 2020 for those unaware (cont'd below):
Just got announced that the US Open will go ahead WITHOUT wheelchair tennis.. Players weren’t consulted. I thought I did enough to qualify - 2x champion, number 1 in the world. But unfortunately I missed the only thing that mattered, being able to walk. Disgusting discrimination
(2/3)
- there is NO qualifying draw for M or W (affecting 128 players from each gender)
- M & W doubles draw is at 50% reduction (affecting 64 players from each gender), and players can only use their doubles ranking to enter
- there is NO mixed doubles draw
It is almost impossible to get your head around the fact that 15 days ago 86,000 people turned up at the MCG to watch the Women’s T20 World Cup final ... 15 DAYS ... it seems like a lifetime ago ... the speed with which the #COVID19 crisis has swept this nation is scary.

I've been doing this "sports agents thing" for over 10 years now and never have I had a week like the last 7 days 😶🤯🤪
Stay safe, keep fit and healthy and use common sense.
Good morning all,

This is a proper statement & position relating to a future tournament, unlike our friends at Roland Garros. Let's take a breath, take our time, of course try and protect the 4 Majors as a priority, but come together to work together as a whole. ATP, WTA, ITF and Majors be all in.
French Open goes rogue.
Zero mention of ITF, ATP or WTA in announcement.
No consultation with players.
A week following @usopen.
Same week as @LaverCup, @DavisCup World Group I & II ties, plus host of other Tour events.
If I wasn't invested I'd get the 🍿 out.
Pure madness

Congratulations to the AFLW on being well ahead of other sporting codes in CoronaVirus protection.
Many weeks ago they worked out the benefits of having no fans at the games.
