–

MELBOURNE, Australia – A few familiar faces are BACK – former top-20 players Nikoloz Basilashvili and Bernard Tomic, who have clawed their way back up high enough to be able to get into the qualifying.

For Basilashvili, an awkward one against 16-year-old wild card Cruz Hewitt, son of Lleyton. But not a tough one.

He did … not have the big crowd on his side. To say the least.

And on the Canadian side, the only Canuck in the men’s qualifying was Alexis Galarneau, who took on Lukas Klein of Slovakia. Galarneau served for it. But he couldn’t close the deal.
