    Juvan 4-5 Konta*

    A punchy forehand winner puts Johanna Konta in front, but a loose couple of shots means Konta will have to stave off a break point...

  2. Konta returnspublished at 09:41 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Juvan 4-5 Konta*

    Johanna Konta is back on court and, by the looks of things, ready to continue.

    Here we go, the Brit serving for the set...

    Juvan 4-5 Konta*

    Kaja Juvan is jogging up and down, trying to keep her legs going while she waits for Johanna Konta to return.

    Konta missed a smash at 15-0 up as she served for the set and then immediately called for the trainer.

  4. Konta takes medical time outpublished at 09:37 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Juvan 4-5 Konta*

    In fact, whatever it is that's troubling her has sent Johanna Konta off the court with the physio for a medical time out.

    Heartbreaking for Dan Evans, it was a tough turnaround and perhaps too much for him. But all credit to Cam Norrie, I thought he put in a fantastic performance, right attitude and mindset. He stayed calm throughout.

    I'm sure Dan's legs are feeling it.

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-7 Norrie

    So British number one Dan Evans, after landing his maiden tour title at the weekend, is out of the Australian Open at the first hurdle.

  7. Konta calls for trainerpublished at 09:34 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Juvan 4-5 Konta*

    Johanna Konta still leads Kaja Juvan by a break but, at 5-4 and serving for the first set, the Brit has asked for the trainer to come out.

    I'm not quite sure what the problem is but she tells the physio she can feel something every time she stretches.

    Game, set and match - Norriepublished at 09:34 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-7 Norrie

    Dan Evans punches a forehand long and Cameron Norrie, the British number three, knocks out compatriot and 30th seed Dan Evans to reach the Australian Open second round!

    What a moment for the 25-year-old.

  9. Postpublished at 09:32 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-6 Norrie*

    Norrie forces Evans deep once more, and the British number one stings a backhand into the guts of the net. Evans leans forward in despair. 30-15.

    A mammoth serve from Norrie, and now the British number three has two match points.

  10. Postpublished at 09:31 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-6 Norrie*

    Sizzling forehand from Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans can only loft it wide from way beyond the baseline, he cups the next one just over the net and Norrie bats it long. 15-15.

  11. Qualifier Jones beaten by Rogerspublished at 09:30 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Jones 4-6 1-6 Rogers

    Hasn't it been inspiring and exciting to see Francesca Jones reach the Australian Open main draw? She's been a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately it hasn't been capped by a first-round win.

    The 20-year-old qualifier made a promising start against American opponent Shelby Rogers, but ended up losing 6-4 6-1 to a player ranked almost 200 places higher.

    Expect to see more of Jones - who has a rare genetic condition and defied the odds to lay professionally - in the future.

  12. Norrie breakspublished at 09:30 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-6 Norrie*

    Dan Evans goes for the serve-and-volley, but the return from Cam Norrie is sharp and low and Evans can only scoop it beyond the baseline.

    Norrie breaks and has the chance to serve for the match.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-5 Norrie

    Dan Evans pokes wide and Cameron Norrie has two huge break points.

  14. Postpublished at 09:27 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-5 Norrie

    Soft hands from Cameron Norrie to disguise a forehand and instead get Dan Evans sprinting to meet a drop shot. The 30-year-old skids across the surface and lands on his back, but he looks OK.

    0-30.

  15. Postpublished at 09:25 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-5 Norrie

    Another "come on" from Dan Evans as he brings up deuce. He can't quite lift a forehand over a stretching Cameron Norrie and it's the British number three who takes the point.

    "Evo, Evo..." says Evans, followed by a lot of frustrated grunts. Norrie holds, and responds with his own cry of "come onnnn..."

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-4 Norrie*

    Cameron Norrie races to 30-0 before stabbing a volley into the tape from close range. He throws a backhand the same way to make it 30-30.

    Rogers is showing her experience. She had the lead before allowing Jones back into it. Now she is not making that same mistake and showing her authority.

  18. Konta breakspublished at 09:20 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Juvan 3-4 Konta*

    Kaja Juvan, who was the top seed in qualifying, has been giving Johanna Konta the run around, but it's the Brit who has the break. Juvan picked the wrong moment to send a backhand into the net, and Konta is in front once again.

  19. Jones heading towards defeatpublished at 09:20 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Jones 4-6 0-4 Rogers*

    Unfortunately for British fans, Fran Jones's first Grand Slam main-draw match is starting to head south.

    The qualifier started well and pushed American opponent Shelby Rogers in the first set before crucially losing serve in what proved to be the final game of the first set.

    Now Rogers, ranked 57th, is galloping ahead. Jones has only won three points so far in a one-sided second set.

  20. Norrie breaks backpublished at 09:19 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 5-4 Norrie*

    Oh dear. Nightmare for Dan Evans, he double faults and watches Cameron Norrie break back, having minutes earlier had a set point himself.
