MELBOURNE, Australia – No Leylah Fernandez, who had she won her first-round match would have been slated to play American qualifier Hailey Baptiste today.

That’s how good her draw was; unfortunately she wasn’t able to get past wild card Maddison Inglis in the first round.

Headlines are No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka, No. 14 Simona Halep and … No. 17 Emma Raducanu.
