After a busy first day, the first round of the Australian Open continues on Tuesday January 18 in Melbourne with the entry into the running of several seeded players. On the French side, after the reassuring qualification of Gaël Monfils in three sets, all eyes turn to Arthur Rinderknech, who faces the Australian Alexei Popyrin from 5:30 am (French time).
The Habs remain on a final in Adelaide. The 48th player in the world seems to be able to take on a new dimension in 2022. The eyes of the French were previously fixed on the 100% French duel between Richard Gasquet and Ugo Humbert.
In the other matches to follow, the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (4th in the world) faces the Swede Mikael Ymer from 10 a.m. Daniil Medvedev, seeded n°2, was opposed to Henri Laaksonen and left no chance for the Swiss. In the women’s draw, world No. 2, Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, faces Australian Storm Sanders (9 a.m.).
Four months after the end of the US Open, the first Grand Slam of the year is keeping its promises, despite the absence of Novak Djokovic. Monday brought some surprises, with the elimination of Cameron Norrie (#12) and Lloyd Harris (#30) in the men’s category, and Sofia Kenin (#11) and Coco Gauff (16th) in women.
