MELBOURNE, Australia – On the Canadian side, Victoria Mboko had very little down time to digest a tough loss in the Adelaide final Saturday afternoon, as she has to jump right into her Australian Open debut agains much-hyped young Aussie Emerson Jones on Monday.

Mboko hasn’t played all that many opponents younger than she – but this was the second one in a row, after Mirra Andreeva in Adelaide. The Canadian just had too much.

Marina Stakusic also was action on the maple leaf side. But the cramps got her.

As for the rest, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff geot Rod Laver Arena slots.
