To tennis now and on a sweltering day in Perth, where temperatures reached 36C (weather we can only dream about here on Sportsday) Britain's Andy Murray and Heather Watson teamed up to beat Germany 3-0 in the Hopman Cup.

First Watson beat Sabine Lisicki 6-3 6-4 before Murray overcame Alexander Zverev 6-3 6-4.

The pair then teamed up for a 6-3 6-4 win in the mixed doubles.

But Britain need France to beat Australia Green in the last group game to reach Saturday's final.

5 live Sport have tried to do an FA Cup preview show without any of the usual cliches. 

You know the sort - 'magic of the cup', 'David v Goliath', 'he also works as a PE teacher' etc. 

They almost managed it. You can download the podcast previewing the third round with Pat Nevin, Neil Warnock and Rory Smith to see how they got on.

Today is the day the FA Cup starts in earnest.

Back in August, 736 teams began their quest to reach Wembley.

Now just 64 teams are left and this weekend sees the Premier League and Championship sides enter the fray.

We will bring you all the build-up right here, as well as hopefully hearing from Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink on some rumoured training 'fisticuffs' between Oscar and Diego Costa.

It's Friday, it's Sportsday and like the old adage of the FA Cup - 'anything could happen'.
