Well, Day 1 is a poor forecast, with storms set for the opening session tomorrow morning, though % of both storms and any rainfall is low-moderate, so could be hit and miss whether it affects Melbourne Park.
Regardless, the ball will be heavy, it’ll be very warm and humid. Overcast could be one good thing for so many matches for players and spectators alike.

Day 2 on Monday looking like it’ll be a packed schedule.

Madison Keys has defeated fellow American and top seed billionaire heiress Jessica Pegula to take out the 2025 Adelaide International championship, in a tight 3 set battle at Memorial Drive :trophy:

Meanwhile, Felix Auger-Aliassime has taken the first set 6-3 over Sebastian Korda in the Men’s Final, in what is now a delayed match but will suit Nine well for prime time. I reckon still could’ve scheduled this for the main channel.

Felix Auger-Aliassime also needed three sets to beat Sebastian Korda in the Adelaide International final, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.

Seb was disappointed in the end, he was annihilated in the final set, triple broken 6-1

IIRC, Wimbledon’s bad weather put Tim Henman off in his semi against Goran Ivanisevic in 2001, and the Croat turned it all around to reach his third (or fourth) final at the All England Club, eventually becoming the first wildcard in the tournament’s history to win it all.
