Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score, and game-by-game updates as Alex de Minaur progresses to round three, Katie Boulter gets underway against Veronika Kudermetova, while Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis team up for doubles. It's been a busy day here already at Melbourne Park!.
The big news today is Alex de Minaur has claimed a three-set victory against Tristan Boyer to advance to the second round of the tournament. Despite there being a lot of expectation on the Australian he's bounding with confidence and cruised his way past the American at the Rod Laver Arena.
He'll now take on No 31 seed Francisco Cerundolo from Argentina in the third round. It was a comfortable win for De Minaur who continues to show how cool he is on the court, despite the wave of expectation on him to break the long wait for a male Aussie player to win at Melbourne Park since Mark Edmonson won at Kooyong in 1976.
Meanwhile, his fiancee, Katie Boulter is due to get underway in the second round shortly with the Brit set to take on Veronika Kudermetova on Court 3. I also can't believe it's Thursday! This week has flown by and we're nearly into the third round of matches. I've been recapping on some of the sights sounds and slightly bizarre things we've seen so far at Melbourne Park this week below!.
