with more on this and, rebecca, how low will they go. >> so low, robin, good morning. most of the country isn't going to be paying quite the same as those customers at that gas station in northern michigan, but prices this week should drop another 10 to 20 cents. the national average this morning is now $1.89, 48 states have seen prices drop this year and gas buddy is forecasting we will save an additional $17 billion at the pump this year. it's great news for consumers, robin, but, of course, there is the other side to this story. >> yes, there always is. prices. what is it? >> all the people who are employed by energy companies, because prices have dropped so far, so fast, it also puts their jobs in jeopardy so we do think of them this morning too, robin. >> we do keep that in mind, rebecca, thank you. to that scandal in pro tennis overshadowing the australian open. tennis officials are denying the allegations of match fixing and

stars demand answers. ryan smith here with the story. >> the australian open is in full swing but this scandal is dominating the headlines, even serena williams speaking out saying she was totally unaware of it and all of her opponents seem to play hard but now more stars on the hard court want to know exactly who has tainted their game. this morning, it's not the play at the australian open garnering headlines, but the reports from the bbc and buzzfeed which allege that tennis authorities suppressed evidence of match fixing by players. failing to investigate around 26,000 suspicious matches. this morning, the sport's top stars, roger federer and andy murray speaking out. wanting to know just who was involved. >> i would love to hear names, you know, then, at least it's concrete stuff and you can actually debate about it. >> it's bad obviously, you want to be made aware of the people that are, you know, potentially involved in this. >> reporter: while the association of tennis professionals deny the

tens of thousands of dollars to deliberately throw matches. buzzfeed said they have text messages that prove it. >> the evidence actually included 82 text messages that one of these players had exchanged with the ringleader of the sicilian gambling syndicate. >> millions and millions of bucks are bet on it and tennis is the easiest to fix because it involves one person. >> reporter: novak djokovic admitted someone on his team was approached in 2007 about throwing a first round match in exchange for $200,000. >> i was not approached directly and, of course, we -- we threw it away right away. it didn't even get to me. >> reporter: he and other stars like murray say it's hypocritical while players are coming under such scrutiny a major sponsor of the australian open is william hill, a british betting agency where you can bet on the winner of matches, sets and games. that gambling sponsor william hill is not implicated in the scandal.

is part of the solution to integrity issues, not part of the problem. how much gambling is there in tennis? according to aussie betting company tab corp $16 million were wagered on the australian open on the first day, guys. >> betting just on a game. >> it could be games, set, matches. that's part of the allegations here. >> wow, okay, thanks very much. amy with today's other top stories. a traffic nightmare in san francisco. >> the famous bay bridge is finally back open after a crowd protesting police brutality blocked traffic. they drove their cars onto the bridge and stopped one in each lane before then chaining themselves together. police eventually cut those chains and arrested 25 protesters. well, crews searching for 12 marines missing off the coast of hawaii have found four life rafts in the water but so far no sign of those marines. they've all been missing since last thursday when their helicopters apparently collided during a training mission. and a new warning about climate change, scientists say the oceans are warming up faster

you have a personal involvement in it. >> reporter: speaking out has been good medicine. >> it's made my life better and i do feel and hope that it's made other people's lives better. >> reporter: the 26-year-old "nashville "nashville" star checked herself into a facility in november to help treat her postpartum depression. something her character on the abc show also struggled with. life imitating art. >> help me get my life back. >> a source of the show told us that story line was developed long before hayden gave birth. the show did give her time, though, to go through the treatment off camera as her character on camera went through the similar situation. >> reporter: the first time mom to 1-year-old kaia is 1 of 600,000 moms across the country diagnosed with this form of depression every year and she hopes talking openly about it will help break the stigma of the disease. >> she believes that she's going to be a more positive role model for her daughter showing her that she can be a proud confident woman while admitting

>> i want to put out a good example for my daughter and tell her that she can be anyone she wants and she does not have to be afraid that somebody's not going to like it because no matter what you do, there's always going to be somebody who doesn't like it. >> reporter: sharing her story, she says, has helped her heal. >> i was floored by the positive response and really happy that i are out there suffering from this and let them know that it's okay and they're not alone. >> reporter: hayden says she is refusing to stay silent not just ace role model for her daughter but all those women struggling and wants to send a clear message that struggling with postpartum doesn't mean you're weak and certainly does not mean you're a bad mom. robin. >> not at all. juju, thank you. here with us now, abc's chief women's health correspondent, jen ashton. i know you want to weigh in. you were watching and hearing the things that hayden had to say, before we talk about

to acknowledge there is a wide range of feelings that women have following birth. >> oh, absolutely. and as juju just said this doesn't make you a bad mom. this makes you normal. it makes you human. in fact, we have a list of the life's most stressful psychological events and, you know, you have things on there like death of a spouse, divorce, pregnancy, birth of a child, that's on that list, that is a significant life stressor and we also have to bring -- we have to broaden the scope a little bit, robin. yes, here we're talking about the natural birth mother. but make no mistake, if you bring a new baby into your hope, it can affect the partner, the spouse, the entire family. it's a major event. >> sometimes we hear, oh, the mother -- just has the blues, has the baby blues. when, though, what's the criteria that you know that it has extended far beyond that to depression. >> you know, i've delivered over 1500 babies so i've seen every possible manifestation of maternal behavior here.

where you'll see some crying, some tearfulness and have some trouble sleeping and eating. you might be unsure how to care for your baby. that's kind of normal and these symptoms or feelings typically will last about two weeks. when you make the jump to postpartum depression, which affects anywhere from 10% to 20% of moms so we're talking a lot of women here, this is not subtle. these are intense feelings, overwhelming sadness. you cannot perform what we call your activities of daily living. you can't care for yourself. you might have trouble caring for your baby and in severe situations you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. >> we heard in juju's report, 600,000 women a year. >> right. >> diagnosed with this. if you're a new mom or have a loved one and you suspect something isn't right, what do you do? >> you have to speak up and ask for help. it's a sign of strength. at the end of the day it's your health and your baby's health so asking for help is the first step. >> there are various treatments. >> a lot of streeps. they range from medication, talk therapy in severe cases

this is out there. it does not discriminate. it can affect the celebrity as well as the average everyday mom. we need to talk about it more. >> and we're so glad that hayden is leading that conversation and the manner in which she's doing it. going to be busy again. you can take your questions, seal's take them throughout the morning. go to drjashton on twitter or go to our facebook page. amy. >> all right, robin. well, let's turn now to "the bachelor" bombshell that has so many people talking this morning. spoiler alert, if you have not watched yet, three women are gone and one of them chose to leave. abc's reena ninan has the very latest. >> reporter: tears flowing and tempers flaring. >> go away. >> me? >> leave me the [ bleep ] alone. >> reporter: week three of "the bachelor" delivering plenty of drama as personalities clash. >> she is not letting anything get in her way. >> no. she's very aggressive. enemies. >> i would love more, more, more, more time with him and i'm

>> i had no idea it would be this hard. >> reporter: telling us in an exclusive interview her take on all the drama after having a front row seat. >> lace, i personally really like her. she's a very sweet girl. i think we all get a little different when we drink but i think she'll learn her lesson. >> reporter: revealing her pick for ben's future wife. >> kayla is my soul sister. i really love her and hopefully it will work out for ben with her. >> reporter: for "good morning america," reena ninan, abc news, new york. >> all right, joining us with her take on last night's drama, "bachelor" super fan and co-host of "the view," commercial collins. last night's episode, lace leaving, were you as shocked as everyone else? >> this was the like elimination kind of heard around the world although she left of her own accord.

>> which was like i always felt lace was reality tv crazy and i loved her for it and i was like, wait, she has real problems and i feel bad for her. she's working on herself which is nice. she also has a tattoo that says work on yourself which is a good reminder. >> now with lace out of the way, will olivia now emerge as the new villain, villainess? >> amber emerged as a major villain. she was very mean to jubilee which was i thought -- kind of rubbed me the wrong way and didn't look good in front of ben. i'm now obsessed with olivia. >> ben gave some disturbing news, sad news about something that happened in his life and olivia chose a conversation that was quite odd coming right out of this announcement. >> let me tell you something, last night's "bachelor" can be dedpiened by two words. i know you won't like them. fat toes. i know you don't want to hear about it. i'm obsessed with her feet. the guy has family members die
