Summary

That’s your lot from day one of the Australian Open. Lots to digest, please do so below. See you on Tuesday (or late Monday evening, depending where you are the world) for day two! Cheers!

And here is Tumaini Carayol’s preview for Andy Murray’s first-round match:

Medvedev beats Giron 6-0, 6-1, 6-2!

It’s late now in Melbourne, and the crowds have largely melted away. At 6-0, 6-1, 5-2, Medvedev has match point on his serve, but double faults! Medvedev is unhappy with a member of the crowd, and turns his ire towards the umpire. What a strange time to start getting shirty. A moodiness that is reminiscent of last year. It doesn’t matter much to the result, Medvedev closes it out to move into the second round and a meeting with home favourite John Millman.
