Australian Open 2015 Results: Winners, Scores, Stats from Day 1 Singles Bracket

It certainly didn't take long for the upsets to come at the 2015 Australian Open.

While every Grand Slam event sees seeded players go down in the opening rounds, the first day of action was a massacre, especially on the women's draw. Of the 16 seeded females in action Monday, eight of them went down, including two in the top 10.

There are two ranked men already eliminated, although this includes Tommy Robredo, who retired halfway through the first set.

What this tells us is fans had better be ready for an exciting two weeks in Melbourne. Here is a look at the notable results from Day 1, with a breakdown of some of the bigger upsets.

Major Upsets

Lucie Hradecka def. No. 5 Ana Ivanovic; 1-6, 6-3, 6-2

Ana Ivanovic was considered by some as a top contender to win this tournament. This will not happen, as the No. 5 seed was eliminated on Day 1.

Howard Bryant of ESPN.com pointed out how much difference one year makes for the Serbian:

Meanwhile, ESPN's Marc Stein noted how it was the poor serving that cost her:

Ivanovic finished the match with 10 double faults with just two aces while she won just 52.7 percent of her total service points.

Of course, a lot of credit does have to go to Lucie Hradecka, who played an excellent match against a top opponent. The Czech star was very aggressive in the match, and it worked to her favor, winning 19 of 23 points at the net.

She also came through when it mattered most, earning break points on all five opportunities. This was the difference in what became the biggest upset of the first day of action.

Thanasi Kokkinakis def. No. 11 Ernests Gulbis; 5-7, 6-0, 1-6, 7-6(2), 8-6

There aren't many better ways to announce yourself to the tennis world than to beat a ranked opponent in a major tournament like this one.

Thanasi Kokkinakis is just 18 years old, but he just gave his hometown fans a lot to cheer about with an upset victory over Ernests Gulbis. As Piers Newbery of BBC Sport noted, the win didn't come easy:

After the match, the young Australian discussed what it took mentally to come away on top, via ATPWorldTour.com:

"

A lot of matches last year I was winning a set against these good players, but never able to finish the match through. I'm really happy with how I stuck together. Even though I thought for a lot of the period of that time I wasn't playing my best tennis, I found a way to kind of get the points there, the games I needed to.

"

Gulbis had 29 aces in the loss, although the 18 double faults allowed his opponent to stay in the match. Kokkinakis responded with some great effort from a kid with nothing to lose.

After fighting through a tiebreaker in the fourth set, the Australian needed eight matches to win the fifth and final set to advance to the second round. 

This represents another disappointing effort for Gulbis at the first Grand Slam of the year. While he showed his skill with a semifinals appearance at Roland Garros last year, he has never advanced past the second round of Melbourne. Clearly that isn't changing anytime soon.

Irina-Camelia Begu def. No. 8 Angelique Kerber; 6-4, 0-6, 6-1

It's truly amazing how three sets can be so different in one match.

Irina-Camelia Begu got out to a 5-1 lead in the opening set before barely hanging on for a 6-4 win. However, this mini run by Angelique Kerber gave her a lot of momentum going into the second set.

Despite inaccurate serving, Kerber was dominant in Set 2, winning 12 of 16 service points as well as 60 percent of receiving points in a 6-0 win. Anyone watching likely assumed this would turn into an easy victory for the favorite.

Amazingly, this did not happen as predicted, as the momentum swung back toward Begu, who crushed Kerber's serve late. The Romanian won an incredible 52 percent of first-serve returns in the final set as Kerber was limited to just three winners.

Mark Masters of TSN notes what this does to the bracket:

While Eugenie Bouchard is the big winner, Begu showed that she can get it done against one of the best around. If she can keep this up, this could be the start of a deep run this week.
