Dan has now been added to this
oh, good stuff - local to him of course! Who has he replaced?
Dan and Taylor Fritz replace Thiem and Ruud. Ons Jabeur replaces Emma.

So Dan and Andy play each other tomorrow in the opener, the winner plays Rafa. Interesting draw !

I doubt we will be seeing Kyle in Australia, clearly not ready. Otherwise he would have entered into either the main draw with PR or into Qualies.
Kyle was in the original entry list at his current ranking of 121 but has now disappeared from that list so I can only assume that he withdrew as he is not fit to play.
Dont players get automatically entered into Grand Slams then have to withdraw?

It was the case, at least on the womens side, that players were only automatically entered into the main draw and I assume the same would have been true on the mens side. However, the entry procedure rule in the 2021 Grand Slam rule book is a change from previous years and says that all eligible players are automatically entered. So it does seem to apply to qualifying as well now.

Andy crushed Dan 3 and 2 in their match - good for Andy, maybe for his new coach? Shapo also won 0 and 3, so good for Jamie as well - good alround? Apart from Dan...roll on 2022 for Evo?
