But that’s about all from me, I’ve been Joey Lynch and thanks for your company during this past few hours. A thank you, too, for everyone that joined Jo Khan earlier today.
We’ll be launching an evening blog in a few hours to take you through all the later action from Melbourne, which is to be highlighted by the Demon, Alex de Minaur (6) taking on Serbian world number 90 Hamad Medjedovic on Rod Laver.
As mentioned, while we were following Alcaraz’s win, things weren’t so good for Emma Raducanu, who was bounced in the second-round by Anastasia Potapova.
Tumaini Carayol was there for that one and it doesn’t sound like a good day at the office for the Brit at all – Tumaini describing it as a “tepid, error-strewn performance in Melbourne”.
