Tsitsipas-Sinner has suddenly gone bonkers on RLA. Both players like duelling wizards #AustralianOpen

Another glorious day at the Aussie Open. Positively teeming. #australianopen https://t.co/cSD2gwnfCz

Rafa dialling up the towel rage to 11. Major rant at chair umpire... Feels like an effort to pump himself up after slumping to 4-1 with double-break in first set against Mackie Mac #AustralianOpen

Pity the poor ballkids who are Rafa's pre-match attendants... Towel and water demands are incessant, confusing and exhausting....

This is modern Australia -- or at least, the state of Victoria. Police go unpunished after pepper-spraying and arresting photographers at anti-lockdown protest https://t.co/V3pvDTLrJk

So @DjokerNole did come out for a hit at Melbourne Park on Monday -- not before the usual suspects leapt on the "tournament in doubt" bandwagon #AustralianOpen #Djokovic

Poor Rafa. First the towels, then his racket goes for an unauthorised walk... Finally at 2-1 leading in the fourth, he can't get any water at change of ends. "How is this possible there is no water here??" he asks the chair ump... Fair question. #AustralianOpen #RafaelNadal𓃵

Brave Brit Jack Draper 4-1 down in third set against Rafa. Trainer working on his right thigh... Looks like Rafa will run away with this one #AustralianOpen #Nadal

Ukraine's number two @marta_kostyuk won't shake hands with any Russian and Belarusian players who won't condemn Russia's war in Ukraine, she told Reuters after winning her first round match at the Australian Open #AustralianOpen #UkraineRussiaWar https://t.co/FictgJC26f

Sleeping giant awakens? Beijing 17-yo Shang Juncheng, youngest player in the men's draw, becomes the first man from China to win an Australian Open match in the Open era, beats Germany's Oscar Otte. Compatriot Li Na blazed the trail here, winning the women's singles in 2014

From towel rage to racket shenanigans. Ballkid leaves Rafa non-plussed by nicking his racket... Absolutely bizarre. #AustralianOpen

Rafa has early towel rage at the Australian Open after holding to 3-2 in first set against Jack Draper. "Why can't the ballkids bring towels!?" he shouts at the chair umpire. "They're too far!" Chair umpire barks back, earns a grudging thumbs up from Rafa. #AustralianOpen

Aussie Open kicks off with straightforward wins for @CocoGauff and @EmmaRaducanu. @marta_kostyuk, who refused to shake @vika7 Azarenka's hand at the US Open over her perceived silence over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, dumps the first seed @AnisimovaAmanda out. #AustralianOpen

And then... 😬
