MELBOURNE, Australia – Margaret Court is the court for the men on Tuesday with Holger Rune against the talented Chinese player Zhang Zhizhen, and a highly anticipated clash between No. 9 seed Andrey Rublev and the latest teenage phenom, qualifier Joao Fonseca. Won by the kid.
There’s also a “passing of the torch” match between 21-year-old Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and 38-year-old Gaël Monfils.
The latter of which was a tournament winner just a few days ago in Auckland.
There are also Canadians Gabriel Diallo and Denis Shapovalov, who were pushed back from an original Monday start. Both were winning.
So it’s all happening.
(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET).
