Actually, thinking about it, Sam rarely performs in front of the Melbourne crowd, so maybe not too bad for Hev.

That could have gone better.

All three are in the bottom half. Naomi and Heather are in Aga Radwanska's quarter. Jo is in Serena's quarter and bracketed with Cibulkova in the last 16.

Certainly Naomi and Heather playing Aussie seeds will be in fairly high profile matches.

Yikes. Bad draws. Jo in a nasty section with Osaka in round 2 if she beats Flipkens.

Stosur is horrible at home but I don't think Heather has much chance. Can't see Naomi causing an upset either unfortunately.

Shame, but maybe we were due a real set of toughies.

Yuck, and bad ladies draw and a good men's one. I guess we can't have everything. I'm abit nervous about Jo being able to go deep. I'm glad she's got a good points buffer.

I'm going for Heather to cause an upset - poor Sam is so dodgy at home and Heather is exactly the sort of player that frustrates her. Here's hoping.

Flipkens is a very dangerous player, though....bet the Belgians are thinking that it'll be difficult for Jo to start again after the thrill of this week and that their girl has a decent chance.

Halep out to Shelby Rogers who Emily WS beat only a year or two ago. Muguruza was in trouble but looks like coming through against Heathers pal Erakovic.

Oops. With Halep having lost in R1 last year ( to Zhang Shuai at the start of her run to the QF ) and these currently ranked above her having huge points to defend, she could have in theory ( if rather unlikely ) gone to WR 1 with the title here.

Not quite ...

Muguruza is through 7-5 6-4

Also, already:
Siegemund [26], out!
Bertens [19], out!
Siniakova - Shenzhen Champ, out!
Brengle - slayer of Serena in Auckland, out!

KaPlis just lost the second set to Golubic

Just your standard basket case Monday on the new WTA then.

Little shout out to Jaimee Fourlis, who came to Surbiton last summer as part of a batch of talented Aussie youngsters and was mentioned here as being a lovely little player, joy to watch.

Age 17 and still in full-time school, she's just won her first Grand Slam match, in two sets.

Really pleased for her.

 It was the other Pliskova sister playing Golubic. She won in three.
