MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – There was quite a mixture of old and new faces on the first day of qualifying for the 2022 Australian Open.

From Ernests Gulbis to … Dudi Sela, and everyone in between.

It was a fairly warm day (but not overwhelming by Australian Open max standards) that had some of the players struggling with the conditions.
