NADAL FALLS TO MCDONALD Reigning champion Rafa Nadal, struggling with an apparent hip injury, bowed out in the second round after a 6-4 6-4 7-5 defeat by American MacKenzie McDonald on Rod Laver Arena. Nadal took a medical timeout after the second set and battled on in the third but could not lunge or reach for shots as his 27-year-old opponent scored the biggest win of his career.

TSITSIPAS TOO GOOD FOR HIJIKATA Greek third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas flew past Australian wildcard 6-3 6-0 6-2 on Rod Laver Arena to ease into the third round.

RYBAKINA ADVANCES Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina cruised into the third round with a 6-2 6-1 win over Kaja Juvan in under an hour on John Cain Arena, smashing 23 winners past her 22-year-old opponent.

GRACHEVA TOPPLES KASATKINA Russian eighth seed Daria Kasatkina made a swift first-round exit after her 6-1 6-1 defeat to compatriot Varvara Gracheva in just under an hour, becoming the first women's top-10 seed to exit the competition.

GAUFF PREVAILS OVER RADUCANU Coco Gauff continued her rich vein of form with a gutsy 6-3 7-6(4) win over 2021 U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu in an absorbing contest at Rod Laver Arena. Raducanu took Gauff to a second-set tiebreaker in an extraordinary turnaround but missed two set points before Gauff scraped her way to the hold and closed out the win.

SAKKARI THROUGH IN THREE-SET THRILLER Greek sixth seed Maria Sakkari fought back from a set down to beat 18-year-old qualifier Diana Shnaider 3-6 7-5 6-3. "She played an amazing match, she's very young and promising. Maybe she could consider not going to college and turning pro," Sakkari said with a smile. Organisers said there would be no play on the outside courts before 2:30 p.m. due to rain at Melbourne Park.
