After a one-month hiatus, the headline acts in tennis have returned to action as they prepare for the upcoming Australian Open. The first two days of the new season saw the big four claim wins on the men’s tour, Garbine Muguruza survive a marathon encounter and Serena Williams begin her comeback from injury.
Ubaldo Scanagatta provides an assessment of how the fan favorites have performed during the first two days of action, including Novak Djokovic’s tentative start in Doha and Roger Federer’s record-breaking return to action in Perth. Scanagatta also explains why he believes that Andy Murray will be the one to beat in the Melbourne major, despite never lifting the title in his career.
He also speaks about the confirmed absence of one top 10 player from the this year’s Rome Masters.
