Sara Gomer and Julie Salmon were home before the postcards
but became embroiled in a slanging match with his opponent
Riled by Evernden's comments pre-match
He has been riling（rile） everyone with his arrogance. Evernden retaliated（报复）, calling Bates a wimp, and the row rumbled on until the pair had clear-the-air talks before they were pitted against each other in the men's doubles quarter-finals.
Stephen Shaw's second round match was just as volatile
the two clashed throughout the encounter
the tension continuing at the change-over, with Shaw bellowing

daunting task of trying to derail（de+rail） the 18-year-old German juggernaut Steffi Graf. Be afraid, be very afraid
the 18-year-old starlet
The start of a golden slam year as it would transpire
the final looked like being a damp squib
and the to and fro nature of the match had now been established
But Wilander was made of stern stuff

the world No.3 and two-time Australian Open finalist was on the verge（brink）
possibly find herself in a position of such quagmire
Her groundstrokes sailed long and wide
that burgeoning facet of her game
While Safarova, left shoulder and right thigh heavily strapped（缠了绷带）, sprung about the court
