MELBOURNE, Australia – Denis Shapovalov, the last Canadian man standing in singles in Melbourne, gets a late slot on 1573 Arena against the venerable Marin Cilic – one of the few players who won a major during the best of the “Big 3” era when he won the US Open in 2014.

Speaking of Big 3, Novak Djokovic will be looking for the third round. And a fairly obscure Italian qualifier isn’t the worst outcome for him to do that.
