  1. Deuce on Korda serve

    Norrie 3-6 0-1 Korda*

    Norrie shoots a frustrated look into the stands as he nets a forehand, and he only gets on the board at 40-15 as Korda fluffs a little hip dab as he approaches the net.

    Now then. Korda trips into a couple of errors, going a little too big as he attempts to close out the game, and out of nowhere, we're at deuce.

    Now it’s time to talk about the tennis.

    After all of the Novak Djokovic drama, it feels like everyone wants to draw a line under the saga and move onto what we’re here for: the opening Grand Slam of the season.

    The Melbourne morning was warm and cloudy, but the breeze has shifted them and led to a lovely afternoon.

    The pasty Brits among us, ahem, had better have brought sun cream.

    Headlines on day one so far? Defending women’s champion Naomi Osaka is through, as is Greek fifth seed Maria Sakkari.

  3. Korda breaks

    Norrie 3-6 0-1 Korda*

    Too good.

    Another big forehand from Korda, another miss from Norrie, and the first break of the second set goes to the American.

  4. *Norrie 3-6 Korda

    A pump of the fist and a quiet "c'mon" from Cameron Norrie as he pops home a forehand winner for 30-30.

    Norrie is called for a foot fault by the electronic line judge, which unsettles him slightly, before Sebastian Korda outhits him off his forehand to bring up an early break point.

  5. *Norrie 3-6 Korda

    Cameron Norrie will serve to start this second set.

  6. Norrie 3-6 Korda

    Morning!

    We've got some actual tennis to talk about at the Australian Open.

    British number one Cam Norrie has got an uphill battle on his hands - he's lost the first set to talented American Sebastian Korda.

    Can he pull it back?
