MELBOURNE, Australia – An early start – an hour early on the two biggest courts – because of the anticipated major heat coming our way on Saturday.

Those on the three roofed courts will know they will play, without undue delay.

It’s the matches on Kia Arena that will have questions.

(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
