Here's something you don't see very often. Today's opponents Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina were forced to change courts.
The reason was unusual, to say the least: the neighboring court, where the match between Arthur Cazaux and Jacob Fearnley was taking place, was too noisy. The reason: French fans cheering their player too vehemently.

The latter are known to be present in large numbers in Melbourne, cheering on the French players non-stop.
Auger-Aliassime and Davidovich Fokina were transferred from court 7 to court 8.
