In Adelaide, the top two seeds – Gaël Monfils and Karen Khachanov – reached the singles final. And the Frenchman won his first ever title in Australia.

In Melbourne, there were far more upsets. But top gun Rafael Nadal had an interesting final against qualifier Maxime Cressy, one of the rare almost pure serve-volleyers on Tour. It was right, but he prevailed.
