Hey guys. Here are your daily results from the Aussie Open leadup tournaments. Some MAJOR news out of Chennai. Not only were all matches cancelled today, but world number 5 Nikolay Davydenko has dropped out of the Australian Open because of a lingering heel injury that has been knagging him since last year. Looks like that means Jo Wilfried Tsonga will be the #5 seed for Melbourne.
