MELBOURNE, Australia – Two Canadians in action, looking for the second week at the first Grand Slam tournament of the season.

First up is No. 6 seed Félix Auger-Aliassime, on John Cain Arena against No. 28 seed Francisco Cerundolo. That’s probably around 3 p.m. (11 p.m. the previous night back home)

Then, in the night session on Margaret Court Arena, Denis Shapovalov takes on Hubert Hurkacz in a tough one for both of them. And in the end it was Hurkacz who prevailed in five.

Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of Eastern time.
