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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
