–

With defending champion Jannik Sinner and 10-time champion Novak Djokovic getting the Rod Laver Arena slots on Monday, Carlos Alcaraz ends up on Margaret Court. Which is logical.

With that, all four Canadian men WERE supposed to be in action, which meant: Félix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriel Diallo late, and Denis Shapovalov and Chilean-Canadian Alejandro Tabilo earlier.

That’s a whole lot of Canuckian content.

But because some of the matches were pushed back from Sunday, Shapovalov and Diallo won’t get on court Monday. Auger-Aliassime – who could use the extra day – did. And won.
