MELBOURNE, Australia – They’ve tweaked the schedule a fair bit for Tuesday, which promises to be even hotter than Saturday.
The junors are playing from 9 a.m. – and then not until 6:30 p.m.
There are six mixed and doubles matches lined up for Margaret Court Arena, which will presumably have the roof closed sooner rather than later.
And no wheelchair action.
(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
