Day 2: Tsitsipas slips up, Ostapenko out, 9 Aussies advance—not Nick!

Nick Kyrgios' Australian Open comeback has come to a halt at the hands of Jacob Fearnley, while Chris O’Connell has gone agonisingly close to beating Tommy Paul. It was an otherwise promising day for the home contingent with nine Australians progressing to the second round. Novak Djokovic has passed an early test against Nishesh Basavareddy to begin his tilt at an 11th Australian Open title. World No.1 Jannik Sinner has withstood a challenge from Nicolas Jarry to progress, as did women's fancy Coco Gauff, but seeds Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jelena Ostapenko have fallen at the first hurdle — Chanda Rubin and Simon Rea analyse what went wrong for the two biggest seeds to fall so far, and preview the Day 3 clash between Alex de Minaur and Botic Van de Zandschulp Plus, Ursin Caderas gets to know a different side of the men’s defending champion.
