So Rycka is starting his new season. Sadly, he was 1 withdrawal short from getting to the MD, so now he's playing qualies.

Best of luck to him , hopefully we will see a Berankis/Grigelis battle in the 3rd round.

sucks that him and lauryanis got drawn together. He qualified and made the 2nd round last year here so hopefully he can atleast equal that

although i have to be honest i am kind of feeling like lauryanis and him will meet in the 3rd round and lauryanis will beat him

Good luck Rycka

It's a shame he and Grigio be in the same section, hope both arrive to final round, Laurynas win and then someone withdraws and Rycka enters as a LL

Good plan And when they meets in final again Rycka takes a title

[Armless]

Berankis 1-6 4-6 Hernych.

awful performance rycka

[misty1]

he'll fall to about 135 in the world after this, an early loss in australia could see him either clinging to or out of top 200

he's going the wrong way and its sad to see

LOL. Don't you think, you're judging berankis too fast? It's only the first match of the season. I don't say that it's not a bad lose. If you follow Ricardas career you can agree with me that Berankis is fully unexpected, he can make 3rd round of australian open and lose in the first round of qualifying

im not judging anything, im stating fact that with the points loss of where he'll fall after this loss

im kind of worried he will lose early in AO qualies, its just losses like this that dont really inspire confidence

yes he's always been up and down but it sucks that he starts the season this way

as for thatpart about going the wrong way all i was referring to was that he was going the wrong way in the rankings not his career

[RogerExpress]

It seems Rycka continues without confidence like in the end of last season, hope he can get an easy draw in Melbourne and try to recover it. With a bit of luck maybe he can be seeded in the range 1-16 (now he would be near 20)

[Sauletekis]

Sudas! I know it's a bad start but lets give him time! He had a very long injury, so it's very hard to win confidence. I KNOW he will win it with time. Just don't put too much pressure in him. He already show the good things he's capable of.

[Vilnietė]

I doubt that he will be seeded 1-16 since he didn't defend 32 pts in Brisbane...

And lets stop making any conclusions from one match...

[Domis]

Rycka practicing with Murray on Rod Laver Arena today. I hear they had practicing in Brisbane too.

AO Q Draw is out:


13-Berankis v Martin
Look v Bautista-Agut

Brzezicki vs Ghem
Duclos vs 28-Bagnis


Don't seeing any troubles for Rycka

[RogerExpress]

Usually I would say "easy draw for Rycka, he won't have trouble to qualify", but at this moment any match seems hard for Berankis, this qualy will be a good test for him, hope he can pass it

Rycka will play against Martin in the first match of court 8 (10 am local time / 11 pm GMT)
