–

While the qualifying gets under way in Melbourne (weather permitting), the two WTA events start their main draws in Adelaide and Hobart.

Adelaide, in particular, being a WTA 500, has some impressive matches although Monday is fairy quiet.

Canadian Leylah Fernandez, who easily won two matches in qualifying, got a tough opener against the talented Ekaterina Alexandrova and couldn’t get through.

Also – the astonishing Hsieh Su-Wei and the never-dull Jelena Ostapenko were teaming up in doubles. But were one and done.

And Marketa Vondrousova is back – finally!
