So that'll be more interesting to see if they follow through on that.

That's an interesting move, I don't know if I agree with it. Will certainly make the first few rounds tougher, but we could get more Nadal vs Kevin Anderson finals due to the upsets. For the Australian Open that means Nishikori, Kyrigios and Milos will all be unranked. Murray is luckily the 16th seed.
