MELBOURNE, Australia – The two matches on Rod Laver Monday are likely to be the two most compeelling.
Although … it’s tennis. You never know.
An intriguing rematch between DJokovic and Mensik (we remember Miami) won’t happen, as Mensik withdrew Sunday night with an abdominal issue.
And a stylish one between Musetti and Fritz.
(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
