Bedene .......boo...hiss.......!

What happened to Milos Raonic? Ever since flopping against Andy in the Wimbledon final he seems to have fallen off the planet. Ranked 22 and out in the first round in Australia. Didn't even look that bothered at the end...

Fantastic 5 set match between Tsonga and the young Canadian Shapovalov.

Straight forward win for Kyle Edmund earlier.

Edmund is just as monotone as Andy Murray was. Not that it should matter, but...

It shouldn't
As long as he plays well the after dinner speaking and the cracking of funnies can wait

[Lou Grant]

Andy can crack funnies. I somehow doubt Kyle will ever manage that. Better tennis player than Noel Edmunds though, despite some people on here believing the opposite.

Laura robson is out of the doubles

[Lou Grant]

Did you not think Coco was the weaker of the two when it came to the service? The match was close - their opponents were just that bit more consistent throughout.

The four challengers coming up in the next month are what count though - not a fairly meaningless ad hoc doubles partnership.

(Naomi Broady is also out of the doubles, btw)

Konta taking inspiration from the England Test cricketers by failing spectacularly.

nobody seemed able to step up as the big 4 hit the wall....

Players melting in the heat as Roger gets his traditional night match in the shade.

Stan the Man and Murguruza, gone....seeds are falling.

[Lou Grant]

Stan was never fit. He pulled out of a tie break only event a couple of days before the AO - no way he could then be fit to play 5 set matches when he couldn't even play a tie break. Was painful to watch him play.

USA have only one seed left in the tournament, but at least 2 or 3 ranked outside the top 100 still in the event.

[Lou Grant]

Kyle Edmund wins in 5 sets in a 3 hour 30 minute match in extreme heat. Makes it to 4th round in Melbourne for first time in his career. Great win for a good guy.

[Lou Grant]

Del might not rate Kyle, but Andy sure does...
