Rennae and our cultural attaché Andrea Petkovic are in Melbourne and ready to bring us daily dispatches from Down Under. Get your helmet on and get ready for Day Two, starting with a gangbusters round one matchup between Naomi Osaka and Caroline Garcia, and a bien tragique matchup between FAA and Dominic Thiem that took the struggling players to five sets. Plus some quick looks at a rusty Ons Jabeur, an overheated Daniil Medvedev, the threat (real or perceived) of Ben Shelton as well as whatever in the sweet world is happening with Stef Tsitsipas' variations on a serve.
