MELBOURNE, Australia – The top four seeds in Adelaide get going after first-round byes, and they include Americans Tommy Paul and Sebastian Korda – who certainly have to have at least middling hopes for a good run in Melbourne, after last year.
In Auckland, the big test for Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime, as he plays his first singles match of the season less than a week before the start of the Australian Open.
Chilean-Canadian Alejandro Tabilo also is in action.
(Auckland is 18 hours ahead of EST; Adelaide is 15 1/2 hours ahead).
