Any thoughts? Get in touch with Martin on email

Early danger signs for 18th seed Hubert Hurkacz who is serving to stay in the first set against Miomir Kecmanovic at 3-5 and now down 0-30. The Pole reached the quarter-finals at Melbourne Park last year but is quickly in a spot of bother on John Cain Arena today.

Amanda Anisimova is the first to hold serve as a pair of powerful forehand winners are too much for Emma Raducanu. The American leads 2-1.
