Australian Open Day 2: Tuesday, January 20

Almagro was no challenge as expected after his surgery and Kei has a good h2h against Ferrer. Depending on Stan's form it'll start to get tricky there but I reckon he'll beat Ferrer with any luck.

scheduling on Laver is ridiculous today - a night session with ATP #s 87 vs 187, WTA 67 vs 76, just because there's Aussies playing. I'd want my money back, former #1 or not.

Most in attendance are more than likely perfectly happy with that choice though. Hewitt is still a crowd favorite at the Australian Open.

it's less the Hewitt match, more the ladies' - or the combination - that irked me. if i take one match for sentimental and patriotic value, i'd try to get something else for the other one. same happening today, btw. but yes, the majority will be ok with it, of course.
