2021 Australian Open – Day 2 men’s singles final results

MELBOURNE, Australia – Three Canadian men up on Monday, with only Vasek Pospisil remaining as the first round concludes.

But other than eight-time champion Novak Djokovic, Pospisil probably drew the toughest out at the moment in Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.

Pospisil pulled out of the warmup event as a precaution with a sore lower back. We’ll see what he’s got against the world No. 4.
