**UPDATE** the Order of Play has had a number of last minute changes due to Monday’s inclement weather. Woz vs. Woz. is off the schedule as is Azarenka’s first match and a number of others. Updates below.
Day 2 already? There are loads of great matches to be played on Tuesday in Melbourne. Roger Federer has a tricky match against Igor Andreev, who stretched him to 5 sets when they last played at the 2008 US Open. Venus Williams is on high upset-alert, facing the feisty Lucie Safarova in her first round. Also look out for Youzhny vs. Gasquet, Monaco vs. Gulbis, Isner vs. Seppi, Wozniacki vs. Wozniak* and Oudin vs. Kudryavtseva.
*UPDATE: Woz vs. Woz is off the schedule for Tuesday.
Top seeds in action: Federer, Serena, Davydenko, Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic, Jankovic. “Aussie” Ana Ivanovic joins a bunch of real Aussies like Hewitt, Stosur, Molik and Ball in Day 2 action. Young Americans like Young, Oudin, Querrey and Isner will also take the court.
Question of the Day: Venus, Ivanovic and/or Jankovic: who isn’t making it to the second round? (Or am I being too harsh?)
