    Miomir Kecmanovic is drawn against his fellow Serb No-vac Djokovic in what could well be the biggest game of his life, as the media interest will be enormous!

    Tough draws for Raducanu and Norrie.
    Norrie's opponent Korda as been stuck in a hotel isolating after testing positive, that must massively impact his preparation

    Needs to get Novak's agent involved to get his isolation ended.

    Andy Murray beat world no 23 ,over 3 hours,the test with Andy is how he recovers.The last few times he has had long matches,they have taken their toll,still he is going in the right direction and could have a decent Aussie  open.

    He's played since then and looked okay today - I'm assuming his fitness/stamina improving.

    Hopefully Murray had a good "off season" and was able to do some more fitness work

    Murray through to final at Sydney. Won against Opelka in three sets so certainly testing his fitness.

    Evans out in the Semis at Sydney. Murray to face Karatsev who will be the favourite.

    This week should earn Murray a few ranking points. Hopefully he'll get into the Top 100 soon, which will help with the draws he gets in tournaments

    Live world rankings have him at # 112 after today's win.

    If he wins the final, he'll jump twenty places to # 92.

    Bad first service game from Andy. Two double faults provides 3 break point chances and Karatsev takes the third.

    I reckon only Dan Evans will make the second round out of the Brits.

    Feel extra old having to look up if Petr Korda is Sebastian Korda's father rather than brother as doesn't seem that long ago he played! And grandchildren, not just children of some of my early, but not even earliest sporting icons, playing now e.g. James Botham
