–

MELBOURNE, Australia – Day 2 of the main draws in Adelaide and Hobart bring some pretty fascinating matchups.

In Adelaide, there’s some heavy Czech content on the stadium court on the women’s side.

As well, the new dubs team of Krejcikova and Siegemund, who are the No. 1 seeds, made their debut. Siegemund got plenty of practice – of the mixed doubles kind – last weekend in Sydney as Germany won the United Cup.
