Disappointng from Murray today, his biggest problem was his serve. Has to be said though that I am not sure Verdasco has ever played better, he went for his shots and he consistently clipped the line, just was not Murray's day.

What an Andy-climax.

Groan.

Come on, Laura Robson.

Roddick through after Novak retires with heat exhaustion.

Two British girls through in the juniors.

Reigning champion Djokovic jacks it in against Roddick.

Zvonereva thrashes Bartoli. Dokic and Safina have just started. I don't think Dokic has much left in the tank, and conditions are still horribly hot in Melbourne.

Federer and Del Potro still to come.
