Bernard Tomic denied a wildcard for AO. Ultimately he's brought it on himself with his comments regarding Lleyton.

good on them, they gave the wildcards to young rising players, a couple 18 year olds

The Adelaide final will be Korda vs Djokovic - Novak looked excellent dispatching Meddy in straight sets, with Carlitos on the shelf. I think it won't be very long before we see Novak back at number one in the world.

Yeah. I caught the second set and Novak was looking sharp. Medvedev told Novak at the net: "Too good." Hard to disagree.

Jose breaks it all down - Ruud, Tsitsipas, and Djokovic could be the new number one after the Aussie Open. Of course, a guy named Nadal might have something to say.

Just to confirm, Rafa being the defending AO champion obviously can not gain any points and will not be number 1 after the Aussie Open. He can certainly put a dent in the plans of the guys mentioned above, though.

They must have had a huge confetti budget in Pune...

Should be a decent final tonight. Italy vs US. Hope Trevisan can pull off the upset in the opener. That would set things up.

That's pretty impressive considering Lewandowski had a pretty good 2022 as well...

The match between Pegula and Trevisian was much closer than the 6-4 6-2 set scores indicate. First match to the States and now it's Tiafoe vs. Musetti

Edit: Musetti forced to retire with a right shoulder injury one game into set 2 (Tiafoe won the opening set 6-2).

Haven't watch the Djokovic - Korda match as of yet, but Novak saved a match point and finally prevailed winning 6-7 7-6 6-4

Edit: Korda did have a match point with Djokovic serving at 5-6 and 30-40 in set 2.

Not really a fan of this concept... but I guess Nick needs some actual matches before AO.

Third AO? That's awesome Cam, have a great time. I hope to get there one day myself (along with a trip to Indian Wells).

Meanwhile in Auckland, two of the most unlikable guys on tour had a interesting handshake at the net.

Edit: I think this is likely the reason, it's customary in tennis to apologize for net cords and Brooksby did not.
