BRISBANE, Australia – Main draw time in Brisbane.

And Naomi Osaka is first up at 11 a.m. for her return to play.

She faces Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch as the women, who are a 500-level tournament to the men’s 250, get the early match and the late night match on the stadium sked.

To be fair, the 16 seeds on the women’s side have a bye, while the men who occupy those three prime slots on stadium are Rune, Shelton, Murray and Dimitrov. So there’s that.
