Day One at this year's Australian Open wasn't a classic. Rain delayed much of the action and when the avalanche of matches finally took to court, they weren't exactly thrillers. But Catherine, David and Matt still had plenty to discuss as they recorded on 1573 Arena at Melbourne Park.

Part one - Women's results and stories including Sabalenka feeling the love, Andreeva's connection with coach Conchita Martinez, and wins for Vekic and Zheng.

Part two (from 31m52s) - Men's round up including Ruud and Nishikori winning five setters and Fils overcoming a slow start.

Part three (from 49m10s) - Day two preview.
