Murray 4-6 4-5 Kokkinakis*
Yesss.
Murray comes bravely to the net and it pays off as Kokkinakis blinks first, scooping a forehand into the net.
First set point saved.
Murray 4-6 4-5 Kokkinakis*
Murray pulls things back as he switches direction quickly, batting a backhand down the line for 30-15.
But Kokkinakis brings up two set points with a stellar serve down the middle.
Murray 4-6 4-5 Kokkinakis*
It looks like there isn't anything Andy Murray can do against the level Thanasi Kokkinakis is bringing at the moment.
I hope Murray isn't luring us into another five-setter...
Kokkinakis hits two forehands into the open court to make it 30-0, two points away from a two-set lead.
*Vondrousova 6-1 0-1 Jabeur
World number two Ons Jabeur is in a spot of bother too. She has lost the first set in under half an hour at the hands of Marketa Vondrousova.
The Czech trails Jabeur in their head to head on clay and grass, but she has the measure of her on the hard courts of Melbourne
The Tunisian Minister of Happiness is scowling.

Well, a time violation won't help lighten Andy Murray's mood.
He's fuming. And he's telling Eva Asderaki-Moore exactly how he feels.
The conversation continues between the two chairs at the changeover.

Murray got a time warning during that last game and he tells the umpire he's "not sure about that".
I imagine you wouldn't be when you're a set and a break down.

The look in the eye of Kokkinakis tells you he is in the zone right now - and Andy Murray is on the rack.
Murray 4-6 4-5 Kokkinakis*
Eek.
Murray's backhand goes long and Kokkinakis will serve for the second set next.
The Brit engages in a heated discussion with the umpire at the change of ends.
*Murray 4-6 4-4 Kokkinakis
Wow.
Kokkinakis is riding a wave in this game. He has his eye on the second set as he comes in and slaps a volley out of Murray's reach to set up three break points.

Murray slaps his knee three times in annoyance after Kokkinakis gets lucky to go 15-0 ahead.
Kokkinakis sheepishly sticks up his hand as a form of apology.
Not sure the Brit sees it - or wants to accept it.
*Murray 4-6 4-4 Kokkinakis
Murray slaps his thigh in frustration as Kokkinakis' hits the net cord but it favours the Australian.
The 26-year-old wins the next point too and is suddenly 30-0 up on Murray's serve.
*Murray 4-6 4-4 Kokkinakis
Murray has not made it past this stage at the Australian Open for six years.
He'll have to come from a set down if he is to do it again today.
The Brit was enjoying a bit of renewed energy but Kokkinakis has sapped that with a slick hold to love.

The pep in the step of Murray is back.
While he always walks almost gingerly, his stride is now quicker as he heads back to his chair.
There, he wraps a blanket around his shoulders and shakes his knees to keep those muscles warm.
Murray 4-6 4-3 Kokkinakis*

I would be fairly encouraged if I was Andy Murray because he is really beginning to strike the ball with some confidence.
Murray 4-6 4-3 Kokkinakis*
Stylish stuff from Murray.
He whacks Kokkinakis into a corner and comes to the net with the lightest of touches to hold serve again.
*Murray 4-6 3-3 Kokkinakis
It is quite literally hit and miss from Kokkinakis at the moment.
He misses one to make it 30-0 on Murray's serve, but then hits one in a major way with a lovely forehand to bring up 30-15.
*Murray 4-6 3-3 Kokkinakis
Another one into the net, this time on the backhand, and Kokkinakis holds.
Murray 4-6 3-2 Kokkinakis*
Nope, the Australian pulls it back.
Kokkinakis forces Murray into a corner and the former world number one can only find the net to make it 40-30.
Murray 4-6 3-2 Kokkinakis*
As if Jonathan predicted it into being, a forehand miss from Kokkinakis brings up 30-30 on his serve.
