Australian Open women’s preview 2017
By Chris Dinsdale
January 16, 2017 - January 29, 2017 - The Australian Open tennis tournament takes place in Melbourne. Germany’s Angelique Kerber won here in 2016, the start of an outstanding year that saw her also claim the U.S. Open title and depose Serena Williams as the world’s top-ranked player. Williams returns to action from a niggling shoulder injury that ended her season early, and will resume her quest for a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title.
