Australian Open 2023

On day one of the Australian Open 2023, Rafael Nadal won his opening match against Britain's Jack Draper at Rod Laver Arena. The Spaniard has now advanced ...

He went on to say it was “no problem at all” as the ball boy picked the racquet that he was “ready to play with”. He further exclaims, “I need the racquet back…I need the dampener and everything”. During the game, Nadal can be heard explaining to the umpire that the racquet left on the bench was for the stringer and “not that one”.

The 37-year-old gave it his all but it was not enough as he lost 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-1, 6-7 (2), 4-6 to World No. The Wimbledon finalist from last year addressed a press conference, revealing a knee injury on the eve of his first-round match. The Greek star, who has reached the semi-final of Australian Open 3 times in the last 4 years will be hoping to better his record after having shown enough promise on the hard courts of Melbourne. 3-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka exited the Australian Open in the first-round, making it 4 successive first-round exits in Grand Slams. Number five seed Aryna Sabalenka dominates the opening set 6-1 against Tereza Martincova to take an early lead in her first-round match on Day 2. Later in the day, Novak Djokovic will begin his campaign.

One year on from his high-profile deportation from Australia, the Serb opens his campaign as the firm favourite for a men's record-extending 10th title.

“All of a sudden I became the villain of the world which is obviously a terrible position to be in as an athlete,” he added. On Tuesday, Carballes Baena – an accomplished top 100 player himself, well-versed with his opponent’s game having trained with him in the past – and the rest of the world will find out which Djokovic has showed up at Melbourne this year. For a public figure whose comments – especially in a post-COVID world – have been so intensely scrutinized, this year in Melbourne, Djokovic has come off as understanding and willing to move on. “I didn’t know how that’s going to go after the events of last year. The event where he has seen most success is also the one where he is most adored, largely thanks to Australia’s substantial Serbian population that also showed up outside the public courts during his trial last year. Especially considering the support he has enjoyed in the past.

Australian Open order of play on Tuesday MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Highlights of the second day of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park on Tuesday, all times local (GMT +11): The action at Melbourne Park got under way as scheduled on the second day of the year’s first Grand Slam.

The match was played under a closed roof at Rod Laver Arena because the tournament's heat rule was invoked.

But in the last couple of years, I’ve lost a few of these matches in slams … that one could have got away from me, but I think all the work I’ve put in these last few months paid off there at the end. And what a performance this was, filled with the grit that defined much of Murray’s time on tour, that carried him to championships at the U.S.

The first Grand Slam of the 2023 ATP calendar has finally begun with most of the stars of the tennis constellation avoiding any mishaps.

The 27-year-old has also finished second at the Mexico Open in February and the Los Cabos Open in August. After the Delray Beach Open wins in 2018 he is on a spree to reach the end of the Australian Open in 2023. He got overpowered by Soo Woo Kwon in a five-set tie during the last match in 2021 in the first round. He is yet to win at the Australian Open and will play in Melbourne for the second time. His best performances include reaching the semi-finals of the US Open, quarterfinals of the Rolex Paris Masters and finals at the Tokyo Open where he was defeated by Taylor Fritz. However, its rich and illustrious history is embedded with instances of a star crashing into the ground in the hands of a ‘minnow’, if such a word does exist in the world of sport.

She’s adept at the baseline exchanges, and boasts of natural power, but is yet to transform either into a hallmark, or develop other parts of her game to make it well-rounded. She has trained with at least four different coaches in just the last eighteen months, had multiple physical problems, and even when things are going her way, her level of tennis has paled in comparison to some of the top players on tour. Her powerful serve and backhand combination have been developing technically, while the biggest improvement is her problem-solving skills, able to have the presence of mind to make small tweaks that can make a difference. She has become one of the most famous tennis players in the UK’s history, one of the most recognisable faces in women’s tennis, and a global celebrity. The absurdity of the circumstances of her 2021 US Open triumph – after admitting she simply hoped to get out of qualifying – catapulted her into overnight fame and attention. Gauff has been the steadier of the two, matching her gradual progress with rapid improvements to her game.

Play was due to start at 11:00am (0000 GMT) but persistent drizzle meant there was no action until 5:00pm, when matches resumed.

“11 am start on outside courts. “Schedule released 1130pm. Players arrive approx 8-830am,” he said on Twitter.
