.....Too bad Coco wasn't available to provide commentary for this match.

Sorry what did I miss?

Adrian Mannarino, currently an ATP top 20 player, comes back from a break down in the 4th set to beat 2014 champ Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-0 and reach the 2nd round at the #AusOpen.

Novak Djokovic will be the only former champ in the 2nd round...

2023 runner up Stefanos Tsitsipas comes back to beat Zizou Bergs 5-7, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 and reach the 2nd round at the #AusOpen.

He was very good in the last three sets!

And some good tennis so far!

Unfortunately, they're not showing that match here.

Coco could now give a TED talk on The Shenanigans of Ms. Sigmund Freud. As was the case with Laura's US Open loss to Coco- Laura played many of her gamesmanship tricks against Alexandrova- taking forever to first serve, second serve (ESPECIALLY before deigning to hit her second serves), get her towel, prepare herself to return Alexandra's serve....making sure to get her nails and hair done during the pre-third set time-out, shrieking every time she hit a good shot and/or her opponent hits a bad shot.....AND, the umpire waiting until very late in the match to FINALLY!!!! give Laura a warning for, basically, stalling. Before, during, and after every single point.

YUP, I am sure Coco would have had plenty to share during this Laura win.
