–

MELBOURNE, Australia – Vasek Pospisil, who hardly played in 2024, got a late wild card into the men’s doubles after Jordan Thompson’s partner, Max Purcell, ended up with a provisional doping suspension after taking a little more than the allowable limit of a vitamin infusion. But in the end, he never got to the starting gate.

And Gabriela Dabrowski started in mixed doubles with the Belgian Sander Gille. And ended. So it wasn’t a great Canuckian day.

There were quite a few doubles matches cancelled on Wednesday, even though the rain delays weren’t THAT long. So a big schedule today.
