–

MELBOURNE, Australia – It’s the third round, when the seeds are supposed to start meeting.

But there have been upsets, so only nine of the 16 seeds in the bottom half of the draw got to round 3.

Humbert v Fils in an all-French clash had potential – until Fils retired; so did Djokovic-Machac. But not so much, in the end.

But it feels like there’s more drama in the other half of the draw. Although Jack Draper’s third straight five-set win had enough all on its own.
