Yaroslava Shvedova had to pull out of Hopman with a knee injury and may even be doubtful for the AO. So the Hopman organizers phoned the next Kazakh on their list: Sesil Karantcheva, who was in Brisbane, put her on an immediate flight to Perth where she got in at midnight, only to have to wake up at 9:30am to play Justine. So...this was really going to work out well.
Justine won. Belgium won. That's all I really have to say about that.
