ChabDog’s Aussie Open Conversation Openers (Women’s Singles, Day 7):

• Better wake up and take some serious heed of Garbine, the un-seed, as she did proceed to clean Svitolina’s clock in what seemed like a NY minute.
• Bertens dismantles Diyas and moves one step closer to standing at the winner’s podium.
• Petra’s power game leaves Maria stranded and out on Sakkari.
• 15 yr old Gauff’s effort in the Rd of 16 was nothing to scoff at, but in the third set she gets put on detention by strict disciplinarian Kennin.
• Jabeur quiets Wang and an all hands Ons deck performance.
