The fact that after a hard semi final he had nothing left for the final shows that no he hasn't proved he has the stamina to come back the next day after a hard game to win a 5 set match.

Federer was distinctly unimpressive in his 1st round match against Seppi.

Something to do with the match being on so late?

Murray first up on Rod Laver court, due to start around midnight our time (11am local time).

Pavel is no mug.

It was worth it though...

murray through after pavel pulls out with bad back. bit like a training session for murray, but is probably a good thing with sterner tests to come

Yes. Means I can go to bed at a decent hour too!

4th Brit Elena Baltacha powers past Anna Groenefeld...



...and now plays Amelie Mauresmo.

That won't do him any harm at all, he'll be very pleased I would have thought.

Elena Baltacha due on court vs Mauresmo at midnight tonight.

Andy Murray due on court vs Marcel Granollers sometime after 0930 am tomorrow morning.

Federer, Djokovic and Baghdatis through, Nalbandian out.

Apparently Djokovic is not happy about Murray being touted as the tournament favourite. Nadal looked pretty impressive yesterday.

Game on Baltacha. Try to forget that Mauresmo is a man.

Surely he should disprove with his playing not his gob.

Crash and burn Baltacha, as per. Loses in 3 after winning the first set. Exit all 4 British women.

Ditto 6th seed Venus Williams.



Murray up next.

Murray seems to be coasting, 1 set up and about to take the second.

Easy 3 set win for Murray, not at his best but never needed to be, Melzer is up next for him.

Not too many shocks in the womens thus far - Jankovic and Safina both through.

The Fed Express playing at the moment and some biff after the Djkovic game (who'd have thought it eh?)

Spoke too soon. Jelena Dokic has beaten Wozniacki and Ana Ivanovic has just lost (again!) to Alisa Kleybanova.

Ivanovic has just gone to shït since she won the French.

Serbia vs Bosnia rematch.

Third year in a row at the Aussie Open there's been feeeting! Love to see abit of disorder on Henman Hill this summer. Strawberrys and cream everywhere.

well something has to make the sport interesting. when r sky gonna get wimbledon

more trouble in the tennis

Murray plays his third round match against Melzer at 8.30 am on Saturday morning.

Caroline Wozniacki is a top 5 player but it's great with what's happened to Dokic in her past for her to be playing so well and knocking the top players out



Kleybanova has a habit of causing shocks - Ivanovic is a better clay court player and will definitely bounce back.

Romps home in three sets to go into the second week. 14th seed Fernando Verdasco is next up on Monday.
