Alcaraz up a breakpublished at 08:30 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January
Alcaraz 3-1 Kecmanovic*
Second seed Carlos Alcaraz has got off to the perfect start on Rod Laver Arena. The Spaniard puts on immediate pressure in Serb Miomir Kecmanovic's first service game and gets a bit of luck too, winning a break point after the ball hits the net cord and trickles over, taking it out of Kecmanovic's grasp.
The two-time Grand Slam champion then backs up the break, winning his service game with a backhand winner down the line.
