MELBOURNE, Australia – Another nice early start for Bianca Andreescu, who got the 11 a.m. slot on Kia Arena.

Well – an early start in theory. In the end it came at the end of the day after a lot of rain. And in the end, Andreescu is out.

There were also eight cancelled and four suspended first-round matches to make up.

They got caught up on everything.
