Australian Open: Gauff, Swiatek off to flyers as Djokovic, Sinner launch Open quests

Deccan Chronicle  

Melbourne: Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff launched their Australian Open title bids with straight-sets wins on Monday but former finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas became the first big casualty of the tournament. In the women's draw, world number two Swiatek battled past Czech doubles specialist Katerina Siniakova 6-3, 6-4 on John Cain Arena. Serbian great Djokovic is hoping to roll back the years and win an 11th Australian Open and record 25th Grand Slam singles title. Spain's Alcaraz is bidding to complete a career Grand Slam of all four majors aged just 21 and begins against in-form Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko in the night session on Margaret Court Arena.
