Djokovic, Sabalenka win season-openers but Kyrgios loses on return

Deccan Chronicle  

Brisbane: Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka launched their Australian Open preparations with straight-sets wins on Tuesday at the Brisbane International but Nick Kyrgios lost on his return from injury. "To start the new season with a win is obviously very important," said Djokovic, who is pursuing an unprecedented 11th Australian Open title. Ahead of the Australian Open starting on January 12, big-serving Mpetshi Perricard said Kyrgios had shown enough to suggest that his comeback would be a success. Women's world number one Sabalenka kickstarted her bid to win the Australian Open for a third consecutive time with a straight-forward win after a sluggish start.
