As always on the first day, the more interesting matches will be on the outside courts. the main seeds RLA will finish nice and early. Can't see any shocks there. MCA looks more interesting for me personally. The Aus Open has helped all the finalists of this year's warm-up tournaments by playing all their games later than 4pm. Good move by them. Stosur will find it tough and is not favourite before people start with the whole choking angle. Stephens will lose as well. she is not right atm.
The Aussies match ups are as above.
A. Barty (1) v L. Tsurenko
M. Berrettini (8) v A. Harris (WC)
S. Stosur v C. McNally (Q)

Match of the Day for me
V. Williams v C. Gauff
young v old. a rematch of Wimbledon, where young won. Be interesting to see if the Old dog has learned any new tricks or has age fully caught up with her.
