He's now switched his allegiances back to Slovenia, due to being declared ineligible to play for GB in the Davis Cup.

Yes its a shame as he should of been allowed as all his switch papers was in before they changed rule, I totally understand why he went back he wants to play Tokyo 2020 and Davis Cup, only reason he still on Brit watch is list was prior to change announcement


Aus qualifying still a wash out they have moved matches indoors due to rain

In regards to Tomic , I dunno, maybe I'm going soft in my old age, but this does make me feel sorry for him, because I wonder about his mental state. I mean since he made these comments last year, he's lost sponsors, hardly won a match, so this talk of millions is pretty much illusory, oh well, we'll see, certainly something not right in his noggin.

I think Tomic felt overshadowed by bad boy Kyrgios and since a lot of attention went to him, Tomic has been coming out with some stupid stuff himself but its backfired.

I'll do a full results and draw update at end of play.

In the meantime... good news British tennis fans Kyle won in 5 sets over Anderson

Bad news American tennis fans : Venus, Sloane, CoCo, Townsend, Isner, Sock, Kenin, Riske, Brady, Bellis all out McDonald, Harrison and Gibbs won

Nadal currently cruising easily and Kyrgios 2 sets up

Kyle came through in an hour and half 6/2 6/2 6/4 a good win against Istomin who shocked Djokovic last year, Nadal continues to breeze through in straight sets, Wozniacki survived a massive scare she was down 5/1 40/15 in 3rd and came back to win and same for Tsonga down 5/2 in 5th and pulled it back to get through

Some fascinating ladies matches Mertens was 5-0 down to Gavrilova and took the set 7-5 followed by the match she saved 8 set points!! and watch out for Kostyuk just 15 years old come through qualies and into third round big name for future ... Tsonga V Kyrgios should be a cracker of a match bound to be Rod Laver night match on Friday, Kyle got perfect chance here to get to quarters, Cant see anyone bothering Nadal until quarters.

Konta losing in straight sets to the world No 123 to Pera. I find it hard to see how she take positive vibes following this defeat. It's not really good enough.
