MELBOURNE, Australia – The second week at Melbourne Park this year isn’t just the pointy end of the Australian Open.

Also on site is an added WTA Tour event – a 250 with a 56-player singles draw.

Leylah Fernandez and Sharon Fichman couldn’t play, because they were still in the doubles in the main event.

But Bianca Andreescu, eliminated in the second round of the AO by Hsieh Su-Wei, took a wild card.
