Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber had much in common heading into the first Grand Slam of the season as the No. 1 seeds. By the end of a chaotic first week at Melbourne Park, five-time finalist Murray had extended his Australian drought following a 7-5, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 loss to No. 50-ranked Mischa Zverev a matter of hours before defending women’s champion Kerber lost 6-3, 6-2 to CoCo Vandeweghe in an upset that finished at six minutes past midnight. Novak Djokovic, who beat Murray in finals to win four of his record six Australian titles, didn’t make it past the second round.
