The big names still haven’t begun their quest in Adelaide. But Frances Tiafoe vs Thanasi Kokkinakis as a night session match will do quite nicely.

In Melbourne, waiting for Rafa takes on a whole new meaning.

But a little Benoit Paire drama never hurt anyone.

The weather, as of today, may become a factor.
