Australian Open – Day 1
Finally the last match is done for the Aussie Open Day 1. What a thrilling match between Shapovalov and Sinner! There were some epic matches today and a few upsets. The most notable of the losers today was Kerber, who was picked in 14 teams. Alison Riske, Cilic and Sinner were the other 3 picks to lose today.
Here is what the leaderboard looks like after Day 1. Just a reminder not to stress if you near the bottom as only half of the draw has played.

Well done to all the teams who didn’t lose a player today and to those who did hopefully the rest of your team can pull through. Just a reminder that you more than welcome to comment about how you feel the day went.
