–

Hong Kong not going yet. But the first round of qualifying in Brisbane for the men will be happening on Saturday.

A lot of veterans in there, including Richard Gasquet and Dusan Lajovic, Lucas Pouille and Mikhail Kukushkin.

The last time Aussie James McCabe was on Show Court 2 here a year ago, he had to deal with a deadly snake (and Dominic Thiem).

(Brisbane is 15 hours ahead of ET).
