–As

As Team Australia fights for survival, it was supposed to come down to a Rafael Nadal vs. Nick Kyrgios clash today in Sydney.

But Kyrgios is out. And so is Ajla Tomljanovic. So the Aussies will try to count on Alex de Minaur to get through.

Swiatek vs Bencic and Fritz vs Zverev are two other matches to look forward to on Monday.
