"Six champions were crowned in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Ash Barty, Rafael Nadal, Gael Monfils, Simona Halep and Amanda Anisimova won individual tour events, and Team Canada prevailed at the ATP Cup.

"If there was a surprise of the week, it was Anisimova’s title run in Melbourne. The 20-year-old is ranked No. 78, and was unseeded. She hadn’t won a title in three years, and had never won one on hard courts. "

Note: I believe Anisimova was working with Darren Cahill for the first time at this event. Add Darren, instant winner? He is good.
