Cami Osorio is on her way to Australia. She's thrilled.

Also if it wasn't posted before, Nastia is in Melbourne and starting to practice.

Nick Kyrgios tested positive for covid but isn't experiencing any symptoms, and despite being pretty late in the game, still expects to be able to play the Aussie Open. The advantages of being an Aussie in this situation if it happens.

In contrast, Jensen Brooksby tested positive for covid ahead of his flight to Melbourne, and has to withdraw from the tournament.

So, if the seeds hold up, Osaka, Halep, Svitolina, and Kerber will be the R16 opponents for Barty, Sabalenka, Muguruza, and Krejcikova... Ouch.

No way Aryna will make the R16, so no issue there.
Krejcikova could be worried about Osaka, Halep and Kerber, not Svitolina.
Barty/Osaka, if that happens, is the kind of match that is exhibit A in "why tournament directors should have veto power over some matches". That could be a huge final.
Do we get good Mugu (2021 Guadalajara) or do we get bad Mugu, the one that loses 4&4 to a player ranked outside the top 50? We won't know.

At this point, I don't even want Craig Tiley to have veto power over what's served in the AO cafeteria, much less the draw.

Long live Twitter.

Some on Tennis Twitter are already moving the ATP seeds around. There's a huge discussion about Felix becoming the #8 seed...

Disappointing, but I guess it could be worse.
