It's been an intriguing match on Margaret Court Arena with losses of serve on both sides.

Caroline Wozniacki immediately broke Magda Linette in the opening game then saved two break points to consolidate her lead.

The 20th seed then cancelled out the Dane's break with one of her own but Wozniacki rallied and now finds herself a double break up.

Linette is currently taking a medical timeout but if and when the Pole returns, Wozniacki will serve for the opening set.

That's a promising start for Dino Prizmic!

The 18-year-old begins with a double-fault but settles back in and polishes off a comfortable hold with an assured forehand winner.

The crowd are urging him on.

Novak Djokovic has won all 24 matches he has played against qualifiers at the Grand Slams.

Among them, he has recorded straight-set victories in four of the five matches he has played against qualifiers here at the Australian Open.

It would be some feat for Grand Slam debutant Dino Prizmic to take a set off his tennis idol.

Can he have more of an impact in the second set?

Can Dino Prizmic extend this set a little longer or is Novak Djokovic about to take his first set of what he will hope is another successful tournament at Melbourne Park?

Tell you what, Dino Prizmic is playing really well. He's having a go with his shots. He's mixing the play up. He's got a very good slice backhand as well.

He moves like he's got a magnet on the court. He's so quick at changing direction and so quick at stopping. He's really, really low and there's no jumping around. His body isn't unbalanced at all.

He's got giant quads and calves.

Dino Prizmic has called for the trainer and will have a medical timeout to get treatment on his left leg after five games on Rod Laver Arena.

Hopefully nothing too serious...

Dino Prizmic has another fight on his hands to earn another game here.

Novak Djokovic follows him to 30-30 but the Croatian serves it out nicely, delivering a closing ace to stay in touch!

Over on Margaret Court Arena, 2018 Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki is getting her campaign under way against Poland's Magda Linette, seeded 20th.

The Danish former world number one retired in 2020, had two children then returned to the tour last year, enjoying a run to the last 16 of the US Open.

This is her first appearance at the Melbourne Grand Slam since 2020, so can she find her groove and put together a decent run?

Novak Djokovic has never lost a Grand Slam match to a player ranked as low as as Dinoi Prizmic, who comes into the tournament as the world number 178.

The lowest-ranked player to beat Djokovic at a Grand Slam is Denis Istomin, then ranked 117, at the Australian Open in 2017.

Prizmic is certainly making Djokovic work for points here, but the 10-time champion scorches the line with a forehand to seal another hold.

Dino Prizmic is up and running!

That's a really promising game from the teenager, whose first game of the match goes down very well with those who want to see a contest inside Rod Laver Arena.

He's a break down, but he's on the board.

A positive start on serve by Dino Prizmic, who delights the crowd by unleashing a two-handed backhand down the line for 30-0.

Very nice! Novak Djokovic reaches a drop shot but Prizmic doesn't panic, firing a cross-court forehand past his opponent for game point.

A double fault brings Djokovic into the game, though, and the Serb catches the line with a forehand to move within a point.

Dino Prizmic's idol? Novak Djokovic.

What an experience this is for the teenager, in what is his first ever match at a Grand Slam.

He's struggling to live with the world number one right in these early stages, and Djokovic wraps up a hold to 15.

A third break point comes around for Novak Djokovic - and this time the game is his.

Dino Prizmic, the 2023 French Open boys' champion, nets from the baseline to eventually concede the opening game.

A very strong start by the defending men's champion.

Prizmic saves the first break point but at the end of a brilliant point Djokovic takes charge with a drop shot and will have another chance to secure an early advantage.

Prizmic just keeps shaking out his arm, trying to get loose and shake off some of those nerves.
