Austrlian Open Day 1 Wrap: Novak Djokovic and Andrey Rublev made to work hard, Sabalenka ruthless in 1st round

India Today  

There was plenty of drama on the opening day of the Australian Open as the season's first Grand Slam began on Sunday for the first time in the modern era, tallying to a 15-day tournament. Defending champion Novak Djokovic was made to work hard by an 18-year-old while 2nd seed Aryna Sabalenka got off to a ruthless start, nearly double-bageling her opponent in the women's singles first-round. It was the longest first-round match for Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam match and only the second time he lost a set in his last 17 first-round matches at the Australian Open. SABALENKA RUTHLESS Aryna Sabalenka had to wait until close to midnight to kick off her title defence but the ruthless world number two made quick work of teary German qualifier Ella Seidel with a 6-0 6-1 victory on the Grand Slam's opening Sunday. With fans on Rod Laver Arena still catching their breath after defending men's champion Novak Djokovic got past teenager Dino Prizmic in a four-hour marathon, Sabalenka shrugged off the 11.41 p.m. start to overwhelm her 18-year-old German opponent.
