Tennis was back today after the scare of yesterday’s positive case of Covid-19. As we edge ever closer to the beginning of the Australian Open, the anxiety levels ,I’m sure, are increasing. Questions like “Have I picked the right people?” will be floating around in the mind. We have 34 teams that have entered which is amazing and with tomorrow being the last day to enter…there is still a chance for more.

Some results from the day:

Alexandrova defeated Halep comfortably 6-2;6-1

Osaka defeated Begu 7-5; 6-1

Muguruza defeated Kenin 6-2;6-2

Djokovic defeated Zverev 6-7(3); 6-2; 7-5

Tsitsipas defeated Bautista-Agut 7-5;7-5

Some matches to look out for in the 1st round of the Aussie Open:

Sinner vs Shapovalov

Cilic vs Dimitrov
