The top-ranked Canadian came back in his second-round match, while Denis Shapovalov won in straight sets and Bianca Andreescu lost in three.

A rainy Wednesday in Australia forced the cancelling of matches on outer courts and causing many hours of abiding for better weather in the matches that eventually made it onto the books. A previous version of the file misstated the score. “My serve helped me to stay in the match, helped me close it out as well. “The numbers show it but he was just way more consistent than I was in the first two sets,” Auger-Aliassime said of his 25-year-old opponent, who has zero titles on the men’s tour. Andreescu has been trying to regain the form that carried her to the U.S. But Molcan proved not remotely intimidated, retaliating with precision and the shot variety Auger-Aliassime was lacking. He didn’t use that as an excuse for his flat-out un-Felix play in the first two sets, when his timing was off and he was unable to penetrate the left-hander Molcan’s game, racking up unforced errors, 39 across the first three sets. When I was able to clinch that third set, I got a lot of belief in myself, my thoughts were more positive. He looked utterly lost while Auger-Aliassime relocated his tennis compass, rolling atop the cresting wave of assertiveness and piling up winners — 59 in total for the match. Yet the Slovak had the Canadian on a string through two sets, yanking him around the court, handily thwarting Auger-Aliassime’s weirdly static game — no shading at all in his palette of shots, his unvarying serve easy to predict — until an abrupt momentum shift tilted the court in his favour and all the air went out of Molcan. “I was just trying to spend a little bit more time on the court in front of you guys,” Auger-Aliassime told the appreciative crowd afterward, “trying to find a way to make the match tough and make it longer. Auger-Aliassime didn’t even get a peek at a break point until the seventh game of the third frame, quickly erased by a Molcan ace.

But Bucsa battled back to win the second set 7-6 to set up a winner-take-all third set. But boy, it was a difficult day," said Auger-Aliassime, who finished with 23 aces in the match that took three hours and three minutes to complete. Nadal returned to play, but was physically compromised and not his usual chase-every-ball self.

Several stars are unhappy in Melbourne but one Aussie great claims a 'different phenomenon' is to blame.

But I think it’s easier to play when you play flatter on the shots.” “One of the biggest reasons will probably be the ball ... The stadium courts are a bit slower. It’s more difficult to hit with the right spin. “The outside courts are pretty quick. But the ball is slower. “I saw that (Alexei) Popyrin is playing now over four hours. (Casper) Ruud played over three-and-a-half hours. “They say (the balls are) the same, but the ball is worse quality, without a doubt,” Nadal said on the eve of the Australian Open. “I’m bouncing the ball to serve, I know (that the balls are not bouncing). “I don’t want to complain about it but the balls are not bouncing,” he said as he bounced the ball in front of the chair umpire, with the ball not bouncing very high. “I don’t know if it’s the batch of cans (that the balls are in), they’re terrible.”

The Australian Open appears to have a problem after World No. 7 Felix Auger-Aliassime blasted the balls during his five-set comeback against Alex Molcan.
