The lead tennis writer at "The Athletic" discusses all the on-site storylines from Melbourne, and recaps Novak Djokovic's well-earned win over 18-year-old qualifier Dino Prizmic. Futterman also recaps how Andrey Rublev were able to survive their opening matches, Frances Tiafoe looking crisp in round one, and Amanda Anisimova returning to her winning ways down under.
