If you’ve been reading my recent articles you may have noticed that I am the Simon Cowell equivalent out of the Last Word On Tennis writers. By that I mean being very critical and difficult to please, although I do lack the fame, fortune ,and recognition. However, it is only fitting that I am the one who writes a post of why each of the players left in the Australian Open Women’s Singles won’t win!<\/p>\n
Obviously someone will win the tournament, but we are constantly discussing why players will win events so I believe it is refreshing to argue against the players. Below is a tweet on each of the 12 players (since some players have yet to play their 4th Round matches) in the Women’s singles using the #WhyTheyWontWin hashtag. I’d love for you to all get involved on Twitter using this hashtag to express your opinions or throw shade on the players! Anyway, here is why I think each player may be left-empty handed. The player who eventually comes away with the trophy could very well be the one who does the most to overcome these reasons.<\/p>\n

As expressed at the beginning, I hope you do get involved in this discussion on Twitter. As someone will have to win, I believe it will be the one who is the best able to overcome the potential reasons that they won’t win. However, until this actually happens I suggest we discuss #WhyTheyWontWin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’ve been reading my recent articles you may have noticed that I am the Simon Cowell equivalent out of the Last Word On Tennis writers.
