I enjoyed watching De Minaur. Good composure and enjoyable style.

I like him a lot. He is very ambitious as well as hard worker. He will go a long way because of that.

Both Murray and Tsonga took the first hurdle well on their come back trail.
It will be interesting to see how far they would be able to come.
They are ranked one beside each other coincidentally.
Their next opponent will be much tougher than Duckworth or Kokkinakis were.

Kyle Edmund was upset by Uchiyama

6-Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) beat John Millman (AUS) 6-3 6-4
2-Kei Nishikori (JPN) beat Denis Kudla (USA) 7-5 6-2

Poor result for Kyrgios. I thought De Minaur's ascent might spur him on a bit.

Not too surprised by Murray's loss - I think it'll take him a while to claw himself back up the ladder.

I watched Kyrgios/Chardy. It was pretty good. Nick wasn't terrible, but Chardy just committed to be the steadier, and he was.

Costly loss though for Nick. Now he drops out of the top 50 as a result . And you were wondering why I am not optimistic about him.
I will tell you why. Nick needs to improve his defensive skills. Those are average at best.

1. I agree with the modern game of baseline attrition wars, it is impossible to succeed without some level of defensive game, no matter how much offensive you can be.

2. On the other hand, it is not a big deal that he dropped points. Anyway, nowadays there are only 16 seeds and he would not be seeded even if he was able to defend his title here.

So is there any LL to replace Nad and face Tsonga? There should be according to rules. But it looks like they cannot find anyone. In which case would Tsonga receive points for his impending WO if he loses to d-minor (likely)?

Yeah, Taro Daniel got a lucky loser slot when Nadal dropped out, but he has lost to Tsonga today.

Kei defeated Grigor in straight sets. Kei had to be considered now the main favorite as he is the highest seeded player.

He will have to do a lot of climbing to get seeded anywhere, not just at the AO.

Tsonga beat De Minaur

That is a quality victory for Tsonga. I personally think he would not be able to do that.
