MELBOURNE, Australia – Only two of the eight men’s matches on the docket on Saturday have the originally-anticipated clash between seeds.

Most of the higher seeds have made the date; it’s the lower ones who went out a little prematurely.

The question that will be asked for all the olds is this: will Stan Wawrinka have been able to recover for his match against Taylor Fritz, after the marathon win over a Frenchman half his age on Thursday?
