Interesting thoughts from Kyrgios, glad Murray saw what was going on and offered what help he could.

Nadal out of the Aussie Open.

 

Wonder how long he will keep going on now?

I think he's gonna try one last push to be fit for Roland Garros then will stop

First round of Australia Open:

 

Jodie Burrage out in 3 sets

[EastAnglianFox]

This will be the last year we get to see Murray and Nadal then?

Murray to quit after Wimbledon although he won’t want too much fanfare ?

[Dr Marco]

Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu won both their matchs

Interesting first round matchup right now, Gasquet-Alcaraz.

 

Gasquet made his Grand Slam debut before Alcaraz was born.

Draper & C Norrie won too, but Evans lost.

Only doubles for the Brits today - 1 win so far...

 

EDIT: The men won, but not the women

Close shaves for Zverev and Swiatek it seemes.

Latter was 4-1 down in the deciding set .

Norrie having to come back from 2 sets down too .

 

[stripeyfox]

Boulter out. Battled bravely in that last game but not enough unfortunately

 

[EastAnglianFox]

Emma's cooked unfortunately...lack of tennis has caught up with her big time but at least she's back competing

[PhillippaT]

Not a great day for the Brits...  Norrie managed to pull it out though  

[purpleronnie]

The Aussies crowds are more like The yank crowds these days.  Great idea to open a bar next to the court.  Loads of drunk Aussie fans...now the players are complaining.

He's just been on Trevor Noah's podcast.

I'm not that bothered about tennis or Kyrgios specifically but it was interesting to hear his perspective.

Her and Jack Draper just need to concentrate on getting fully fit so they can last out the long matches.

Both still young, so no reason for them to not be working on that part of the game. 

[Super_horns]

Is Cazaux another young French star of the future ?

Few ladies having their best GS.

Paolini, Kalinskaya and Dodin.

 

Cam Norrie keeping the British flag flying with a good win v the ghostly Ruud.

Well I presume he counts as one of ours when he is successful!

YAY! Norrie won! :D:D:D:D 

[leicsmac]

Well done to Norrie, hopefully he can get something of a run going this year.

 

Someone needs to carry the torch from Murray.

[Super_horns]

An iconic face of Wimbledon but wasn't good news if you saw him!

Just realised this Aussie guy I’m watching is Katie Boulter’s boyfriend.  Hope he wins!  He’s punching.
