–
Hong Kong finally shows signs of life – and No. 2 seed in qualifying Gabriel Diallo gets his season under way.
Not an easy draw for his Davis Cup teammate Denis Shapovalov, who gets Kei Nishikori in the first round.
In Brisbane, there’s a mix of qualifying and main draw matches – mostly doubles match – although David Goffin and Aleksandar Vukic get the big court in the evening.
(Brisbane is 15 hours ahead of ET; Hong Kong is 13 hours ahead).
