The Australian Open, the year’s first Grand Slam, got underway in Melbourne today. Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams was shocked losing 6-3, 7-5 Belinda Bencic in the first round. There was no nightmare for men’s world No.1 Rafael Nadal, the Spaniard beating Victor Estrella Burgos 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. Home hope Nick Kyrgios was on his best behavior as he easily saw off Rogerio Dutra Silva 6-1, 6-2, 6-4. But there was no joy for women’s US Open champion Sloane Stephens. China’s world No. 34 Zhang Shuai beat the American 2-6 7-6, 6-2.
