Voegele vs. Williams Sisters

Stefanie Voegele and Camila Giorgi (Italy) will play the world renowned Williams Sisters in the First Round of Womens Doubles of the Australian Open.

What will come about with Serena's ankle injury from the Muguruza match?

Here's the facts:


"The American took an immediate medical time-out to have her right ankle re-strapped. After that brief pause in proceedings, normal transmission resumed as Williams finished the job she had so impressively begun.
The question is, how much of an impact will this injury have on Williams? A similar ankle injury in Brisbane last year hampered the American in her 2012 Australian Open campaign – she subsequently lost in the fourth round to 56th-ranked Russian Ekaterina Makarova.

With no word from the Williams camp on Wednesday, it’s impossible to predict the severity of the injury. She did practice, but moved her session indoors away from the eyes of coaches, the public and media. What is known is that Williams will play, no matter what.
“Oh, I'll be out there,” a defiant Williams told reporters. “I mean, unless something fatal happens to me, there's no way I'm not going to be competing.
“I'm alive. My heart's beating. I'll be fine.” " -Darren Saligari via australianopen.com



Due to Serena's health on the hush hush we will just have to wait and see what plays out between them and our Volkl player Stefanie Voegele. Will a Völkl player finally conquer? With over 66,000 spectators a day it would be quite an upset for the sisters but such an amazing historic event for us!
