Stakusic unfortunately lost her first round qualifying match. Marino got in as the last direct entry.

Is Sinner going to be allowed to play? The decision is apparently expected very soon.
It would be a PR disaster to ban Sinner after the draw or midway through the tournament. I'd bet money that he will be allowed to play.
He also has the easiest draw with Fritz and Medvedev his main challenges. Nole and Carlos have the toughest road, meeting one another in the quarters with Zverev and Sinner waiting in the semis and finals potentially.

I've honestly never seen a worse draw for a slam, given my individual interests in who I want to succeed.

Not sure he has it in him anymore. I won't ever count him out, but I wouldn't bet on him winning another.
Just an age/body thing for me.
It's a Sunday start in Melbourne (tonight for us on this side of the globe).

11th ranked Tsitsipas bounced out in the first round by Michelsen in four sets. Technically an upset but, if so, a very mild one.

Sinner is gonna win but Jarry is giving him some trouble right now

That was a rough draw for Tsitsipas (and Michelsen). I don't know all the exact mechanizations of the draw, but probably about as high ranked of a player as either could theoretically draw in round one.
Michelsen has been playing well and is a player on the up. At the same time, Tsitsipas really shouldn't be losing a match like that, and it speaks to that he's become a major disappointment.
Sinner wins another breaker to go up two sets to zip. Jarry's shot selection and execution turned to goo before he had time to get to the net.
Third set goes very quickly as Jarry's game and concentration go south, 6-1.

Nishesh won the first set off Djokovic.
Djokovic looking a lot like Djokovic of last year in that first set.
Nishesh is probably going to be pretty good over the coming years. Not the typical player ranked outside the top 100, but he’s 19 and it’s his first main draw at a slam.
Really shouldn’t be losing sets to someone like that if he expects to win the tournament

Nick is either:
A) Having a heart attack;
B) Pulled a rib muscle'
C) Overdramatizing to give himself an excuse for poor play;
D) Mimicing the movement of a sea turtle on dry land.
....and there goes the second set 6-3.

E) Playing possum.
Fearnley cracks under the pressure and blows his break lead in the third. It's a combination of the moment, Nick hitting winners from stationary positions, and the crowd going absolutely bonkers on Nick's behalf, 3-all.
