Good Morning. Catching up on the tennis with still some live matches finishing up. Casper Ruud has a straightforward start to the tournament he has mentioned that his fiancée is due any day now and he would leave the tournament to be there for the birth. Love that.

Victoria Mboko is through ICYMI. Looks better after Adelaide despite heavy strapping on her leg. Comes through another Next Gen battle, this time with promising Aussie Emerson Jones. Once Mboko broke through a tough start, did not look back. She likes the big stage and wants to stay

Stan Wawrinka still got one last AO run in him. Comes from a set down against Laslo Djere to win and honestly looked like the man that last set. Put this champ on RLA one last time AO, you know you want to!

Finally thought before heading off:
Felix Auger Aliassime has become my favourite player to listen to in press. Really unfortunate how his tournament ended but he is so incredibly calm and straightforward, it’s refreshing. Good Night

Alright. Looks like we have a match on 6. Eala and Parks head to a deciding set. Question is will I stay up long enough to see it through.

Great start to the Australian Open for hometown hope, Alex De Minaur. But what happened to the Wilson kit he was wearing for the Exo in the first week!?! The shorts were so good!

I see we have learnt nothing from Fonseca-mania and are just going to rinse and repeat for Alex Eala. Tennis.
This is the line to get in to the Eala v Parks match on court 6 right now.

Day 1 was for the qualifiers.
The Australian Open had an amazing start with an up set and agro on an outside court and we couldn’t ask for anything more. Day 1 coffee catch up is up.

Good Morning. Let’s catch up. ☕️
Carlos Alcaraz wins 6-3, 7⁷-6⁵, 6-2 against Adam Walton
That will close out the opening night of the AO, Walton kept it interesting but Alcaraz was never really in trouble in this one. He's going for the career slam here in Melbourne and a good start.

Gave myself a cut off of midnight every night so will be calling it a night after the 2nd set is done in the Baptiste v Townsend match but I would just like to thank Arthur Fery and Yulia Putinseva for an excellent kick off to the grand slam season. No notes 👏🏾

Arthur Fery gets the upset against Flavio Cobolli. Cobolli was not well but Fery also played pretty well. He qualified for the Australian Open and it’s his 2nd win at the grand slam level (in singles). Fun fact: his first win was also against the 20th seed at Wimbledon.

We are less than an hour into the Australian Open & it’s already been a dramatic few minutes in the Cobolli v Fery match. Fery is leading, Cobolli is not feeling well, we have had 2 reviews, the trainers have been out…
Settle in folks this might be an eventful AO 😅

Mirra Andreeva now has one of each. All she is missing is that Grand Slam title 👀
She played flawlessly in this match and Victoria Mboko didn’t seem physically capable of putting up a fight. Hopefully she is good for the Australian Open.
