The one game I hate more than aerial ping pong and I can blame my 9 year older sister for that. When my mates were watching Doug Walters and the rest of the cricket legends of the late 70's play at my house it was the boring as batshit Australian Open and if I dared to change the channel I'd get a whack on the back of the head moreso if Jimmy Connors was playing.

Aussies have a mixed draw.

Deminator is on Meds side and beat him recently, had been in really good form so might make a good run.

Idunno, I have my doubts about whether Alcaraz is natural or not. If he's natural he's a genetic freak.
