The move follows a run of poor performances by the Wallabies; Matt Kean has ruled out challenging Dominic Perrottet for the NSW Liberal leadership over Nazi scandal; an Australian was aboard a plane that crashed in Nepal yesterday. Follow updates here.
Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek face stern but vastly different early tests as the respective men’s and women’s top seeds headline the day-one Australian Open action in Melbourne.
Draper, at a career-high 38th in the world after an impressive start to the summer, is among the most dangerous unseeded players in the draw, as the likes of top-10 heavyweights Stefanos Tsitsipas, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz know too well after succumbing to the 21-year-old last season.“Probably one of the toughest first rounds possible, being seeded. Young, powerful, growing very, very fast on the ranking, playing well,” Nadal said of his challenger.
A victor just once in his past six matches, the great Spaniard needs to emerge from a rut that may explain why men’s tennis’ most prolific major winner surprised onlookers when he hurled his racquet, most un-Nadal like, into the court in frustration during practice on Friday. Jason Kubler, John Millman and Rinky Hijikata are the only Australian men playing on Monday, with seeded big guns Nick Kyrgios and Alex de Minaur starting on Tuesday.
