A win for Murray this morning but going 5 sets in the first round is not going to help Murray. Raducanu on now against Stephens. She is winning 5 - 0, Stephens just doesn’t seem bothered.

Raducanu couldn’t hold serve in second set but is 4-0 up in third

Stephens wasn’t interested, just phoning it in.

Alize Lim has a grand way about her.

Nadal through in straight sets, will play Khachanov.

Hurkacz is gone on his side of the draw but he’s not really a top 10 player.

Nadal will be hoping to take no more 4 sets on Khachanov. Zverev is the big obstacle, if he falls before the quarter, Nadal has a brilliant chance of a final.

Shapovalov faces Big Reilly in the 3rd round.

Alcaraz and Berrettini is the tie of the third round in the top half.

Any giraffe kill yet?

Biggest story of the day so far sees Australian wildcard Chris O’Connell dump the No.13 seed Diego Schwartzman out.

Di Minaur wins in straight sets against some Polak.

Stosur goes down bravely to the 10 seed, Pavlova. Sam girl, you owe Australia absolutely nothing at this stage.

We’re moments away from Nick v Daniil. This will be the game that sets the tournament alight. I just hope the Greek is recovered from the virus.

Medvedev saves 2 break points on his first service game. Daniil looks a little anxious in front of the home crowd. He’ll settle.

And he does. There’s the break for Medvedev.

Medvedev to win comfortably in straight sets. Nick the Yid has barely played in 6 months.

More than likely. All the Greeks want is an underarm serve to marvel at on Twitter.

We had all 4 seasons of nick in that service game.
0-30

Go at the umpire

Go at the fans.

Wins the game.

Remarkable 9 minute game.

Medvedev to serve to stay in the 1st set. Nick pumping sweat already. Not sure how much juice in the tank he has.

Murray is some man to be still going. He’ll be crippled by the time he’s forty.

Medvedev takes the first in the tiebreak. You’d have to wonder if nick has the cajones to fight for this.
