MELBOURNE, Australia – Notable among the first-round matches Monday – which got off to a late start and saw a number of contests postponed to Tuesday – was a gripping contest between all-rounders James Trotter (a half Japanese, half-Aussie debutant) and veteran Dan Evans.

Won by the kid. Who has Canadian connections.

And the finale for Richard Gasquet, who fell in the first round to Duje Ajdukovic of Croatia.

Of the 24 matches, seven went to a third and deciding set – and one to the match tiebreak.
