    Johanna Konta's first round match against Kaja Juvan has finally got going after a change of court.

    The British number one has held to 15 in her opening service game.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 3-1 Norrie

    Cameron Norrie creeps to 0-30 before Dan Evans leans into a short ball and hammers away a forehand winner. He can do nothing about a ferocious return from Norrie on the next serve.

    15-40, and two break back points.

    You wonder whether fatigue is setting in for Dan Evans. In that last point he looked tired when he attempted that drop shot.

    Maybe those matches he played last week are catching up with him.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 3-1 Norrie

    Evans throws in a drop shot, but it's a touch too hot and allows Norrie to respond with his own.

    It brings up the hold for the British number three.

    Both players' legs get a good test in another lengthy rally as Cameron Norrie edges to 30-15.

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 3-0 Norrie*

    Dan Evans is shouting over to his box that he "has lost his legs", or is he suggesting Cam Norrie's lost his? Mind games? He looked pretty lively in that last game.

    Dan Evans is looking lively and enthusiastic at the moment.

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 3-0 Norrie*

    Deuce once more. Dan Evans is having to dig in to keep Cameron Norrie at bay.

    Norrie slices long and Evans hollers in celebration once more, and this time he holds as the British number three rattles the tape with a forehand.

    Big hold for Evans that to back up the break.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 2-0 Norrie

    Cam Norrie isn't going quietly. He gets Dan Evans scrambling and takes it back to deuce.

    Evans thinks he has the 25-year-old on the run off the next point, but Norrie pulls a looping forehand winner out of his bag to earn another break point.

  10. Jones wins back-to-back gamespublished at 08:45 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    *Jones 2-3 Rogers

    Well, that didn't take long - Francesca Jones has held serve and then broken back against Shelby Rogers.

    The Briton is growing in confidence on her debut and another hold now would really give her some momentum.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 2-0 Norrie

    The roars are becoming more frequent from Dan Evans, he saves the break point and then thunders into the net to volley a winner beyond Cam Norrie, backing it up with an intense stare and fist pump.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 2-0 Norrie

    Dan Evans drags a forehand wide for 30-30 and is then forced deep by Cameron Norrie, lofting a high ball over his opponent and watching it drop long. Chance for Norrie to break back immediately.

    You can see how much that meant to Dan Evans.

  14. Barty bagels Kovinicpublished at 08:40 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Looks like Ash Barty's year out has had next to no impact on the world number one.

    After just 19 minutes, she has taken the first set over Montenegro's Danka Kovinic by an utterly dominant 6-0 scoreline.

    The Aussie made just two (two!) unforced errors and dropped just four points as she demolished Kovinic in the opening set.

    And this one Dan Evans takes, roaring loudly to let the whole of Melbourne know about it!

  16. Postpublished at 08:39 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 1-0 Norrie*

    Nice pick up by Cam Norrie off the baseline to stay in the rally and he then wrongfoots Dan Evans with a reverse from the same spot. 15-40. Still two break points.

  17. Postpublished at 08:38 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 1-0 Norrie*

    Dan Evans has come out flying in the fourth set. 0-30. Perhaps he senses his Australian Open hopes slipping away... Cameron Norrie goes long and the British number one has three early break points.

  18. Postpublished at 08:36 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 1-0 Norrie*

    A welcome hold to 15 for Dan Evans.

    *Evans 4-6 6-4 4-6 0-0 Norrie

    Dan Evans lashes down an ace that just kisses the line. Cameron Norrie isn't happy about something... Evans asks what the score is, and the umpire tells him 0-0 in the fourth set.

    "Is that all?" Evans responds. 30-15.

  20. Jones trailing against Rogerspublished at 08:33 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2021

    Jones 0-3 Rogers

    Briton Francesca Jones' first taste of Grand Slam main-draw action is under way. She's been broken in her opening service game but it's early days so there's still time to shake off any early nerves she might be having.

    She's ranked 245 in the world and is up against American world number 57 Shelby Rogers.
