The 23-Grand Slam winner hit centre court at Rod Laver Arena on Monday just before 1pm wearing a one-legged cat suit before a crowd numbering in the hundreds. With crowds capped at 30,000 and masked spectators forced to segregate in isolated areas across Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and John Caine Arena, players will have little issue with crowd distractions this year. The usual sea of colour from flag waving fans headed into Rod Laver Arena was nowhere to be seen. But they were clearly among the minority on Monday, with barely a youth spotted by centre court on Monday. Organisers will be hoping for more people to enter the gates this evening when the likes of Aussie Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic hit centre court.
