SEN •  January 22nd, 2026 11:52 am
Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis will get their doubles under way today but the Aussie duo have not been scheduled on their favourite John Cain Arena.
it's an interesting move from the tournament given how vocal Kyrgios in particular has been about the energy he gets from playing on the third show court...so let's see how that goes.
Novak Djokovic continues his hunt for another grand slam today up against Francesco Maestrelli while Aussie rising star Dane Sweeny is looking to cause another upset against Ben Shelton.
We will bring you all the news as it happens.
Danil Medvedev was asked about what it's like to be sharing a locker room with your biggest rivals and if he's ever had any awkward encounters.
He said that while there are a handful of players on the tour that perhaps he isn't friends with, it's a largely positive environment compared to the toxicity of yesteryear.
referring to stories he has heard from his coaching team of Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke, the world No 12 said: "I heard that 20 years ago it was as toxic as it could be," he said. "That's what they (his coaches) say.
"I have heard some stories from Thomas but I am never going to reveal them. I was shocked.
"I was like, that's why you guys finished your careers early because it's constant pressure.
"He told me stories where you wake up, you're under pressure. You get to the locker-room, you're under pressure.
"Our locker room is great, it's very chill, very relaxing. You see Alcaraz and Sinner sharing jets or whatever. it's good, it makes us enjoy the tour.
"It's super friendly. In the courtb we can - never fight - but we can have a chat there. Maybe there is two or three guys in the top 100 you don't like but in general it's a friendly atmosphere."
The Russian is up against Fabian Maroszan in the third round.
