–
SO much tennis going on. Including the start of the qualifying at the final Grand Slam tournament of the year.
The last one into the women’s qualifying is Japan’s Ena Shibahara, although it’s possible a few more could squeeze in by the time the first round wrap up Tuesday.
It will be a WARM day, with the humidity currently at 78 per cent and the humidex well above that temperature.
And it ended with seven of the 32 seeds upset.
