Australian Open wildcards Talia Gibson, James McCabe and Tristan Schoolkate win first round matches

ABC  

After serving a fault on match point, Australian wildcard Talia Gibson took half a beat to compose herself before her second serve. Gibson said she was "over the moon" to reach the second round of a grand slam for the first time. Gibson put her victory down to "a lot of hard work, a lot of hours" — but added the home court advantage also played a role. Michelsen also beat McCabe in the first round of the Australian Open last year, something the Australian hopes to avenge. Schoolkate wins to face Sinner Tristan Schoolkate has built on his success late last year at the US Open to triumph in the first round at Melbourne Park.
