Break back baby!

Might finally get a bit interesting now...especially since Dzumuhr is not known to be the most level headed tempered guy when things go not his way.

C'mon hold Liam, hold.

Well GSM Dzumhur 7-5 6-0 6-4.

Shame about the result and especially set 2, but hopefully a good learning experience in how to play big tournament matches.

Michael Zheng young American Ivy Leaguer is making a run. Ranked 174.

Hewitt, Barrios Vera and Klein in qualifying.

Now Korda in Round 1. Moutet next is definitely beatable if Zheng has any gas left.

I know Korda has had more than his fair share of injuries, but he plays like a poor man's version of Zverev in my opinion. Much too passive and waiting for his opponent to make an error rather than taking the initiative.

Four Canadians in action today in Melbourne as Felix, Denis, Marina, and Victoria all play their respective opening round matches. I'm a little worried about Felix today, Nuno Borges is a very tough opponent who will give Felix a stern test.
