After three days, we are completely done with round 1 at the Australian Open.

Here's who's out, who's left, what people are saying, and who's playing on Day 4!

🎯 Successive Sinner Success? Tennis Abstract gives the defending champion a staggering 54.4% chance to win his third straight Australian Open title. Only Djokovic has achieved that "three-peat" in the Open Era.

🔄 Monfils Farewell, Wawrinka Won't Go Two different endings for two beloved veterans. Gael Monfils, 39, played his final AO match, a five-set loss to Aussie qualifier Dane Sweeny. Stan Wawrinka, 40, became the oldest man to win a Grand Slam singles match since Karlovic in 2020 to stay alive.

⚠️ Keys Unlocks Title Defense Madison Keys fell behind 0-4 in the first set against debutante Oleksandra Oliynykova before rallying for a 7-6⁶, 6-1 win. Keys was the winner, but the Ukrainian won a ton of new fans with her infectious enthusiasm on Rod Laver Arena.

👀 Seeds Uprooted #28 Joao Fonseca, #22 Leylah Fernandez, and #18 Liudmila Samsonova all made early exits on Day 3. Fonseca's lack of match fitness after a back injury was painfully evident, throwing in 38 unforced errors in a 4-set loss to Eliot Spizzirri.
