Early results in the final tournaments contested prior to the Australian Open:
SYDNEY
The late withdrawals of seeded players Naomi Osaka and Karolina Pliskova caused a restructure of the women’s main draw
Anastasija Sevastova and Elise Mertens were instated as 9th and 10th seeds and added to the existing six seeds, drawn to play in the quarter finals.
Lesia Tsurenko completed a trio of late withdrawals, and the replacements in the main draw were lucky losers Monica Puig, Bernarda Pera and Tatjana Maria.
On the men’s side, defending champion Daniil Medvedev withdrew late, and was replaced by lucky loser Taro Daniel, who replaced Rafa Nadal when the Spaniard withdrew from Brisbane last week.
Daniel gained the first round bye which Medvedev had.
