  1. Burrage breakspublished at 09:31 Greenwich Mean Time

    Gauff 6-3 3-5 Burrage*

    Gets it!

    Jodie Burrage is full of belief, hitting hard and clean while Coco Gauff struggles for consistency.

    Gauff manages to save a first break point with an ace but won't escape a second as Burrage, clearly really enjoying herself out on Rod Laver Arena right now, relies on her trusty forehand to give herself the chance to serve for the set.

    From 3-1 down to 5-3 up.

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 2-0 Kokkinakis

    Thanasi Kokkinakis is just so dominant in those longer rallies. He isn't letting Jack Draper have a look in.

    He stings a forehand winner down the line to claw his way back to 40-30, and it's just as well because a horrible miss from Draper brings us to deuce.

    Funny old game.

    After not getting a sniff on Kokkinakis' serve in the first set, Draper breaks in the first game of the second.

    Four points won on the Aussie's serve. He only won five in the whole of the first set.

    "All gone quiet over there!" chant a small group of brave Brits.

    That's great recognition by Jodie Burrage realising that Coco Gauff spun the serve in to make sure she made it after a double fault, being aggressive with the backhand return and just ready to pounce.

  5. Fearnley breakspublished at 09:29 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Fearnley 2-5 Cazaux

    Jacob Fearnley gets one of two breaks against him back to stay alive in this opening set, with the help of a couple of misses by Arthur Cazaux. Game on?

  6. Break point Burragepublished at 09:28 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Gauff 6-3 3-4 Burrage

    Jodie Burrage is making her move!

    The double faults continue to trouble Coco Gauff and assist Burrage in building pressure on the third seed's serve.

    A second double of this game brings Burrage to deuce and she'll have a break point after nailing a forehand winner.

  7. Draper breaks early in second setpublished at 09:27 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 2-0 Kokkinakis

    Thanasi Kokkinakis saves the first after Jack Draper runs out of steam in the rally, but disaster strikes for the Australian as he double-faults on the next one.

    That's the best of starts to this second set for the British number one.

  8. Fearnley broken againpublished at 09:26 Greenwich Mean Time

    Fearnley 1-5 Cazaux*

    Jacob Fearnley buckles under sustained pressure from Arthur Cazaux in his latest service game, eventually conceding a second break of serve on Cazaux's third break point of game six.

    That feels as good as set point, given how Cazaux has been serving so far. The Frenchman will look to serve out the first set next.

  9. Break points Draperpublished at 09:25 Greenwich Mean Time

    Draper 6-7 (3-7) 1-0 Kokkinakis*

    Break points galore. Jack Draper's got himself two now.

    Imagine your kid telling a full stadium that he loved a tennis player more than his mum...

    That's what just happened to one Aussie woman.

    And the funny moment came while she popped to buy him some ice cream. That's gratitude for you...

  11. Dart breaks earlypublished at 09:24 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Dart 1-0 Vekic

    And here we go on Court 12. It's Brits central in Melbourne right now as Harriet Dart gets her match up and running against Donna Vekic.

    What a start! The British lucky loser has got herself three break points.

    And she's got it as Donna Vekic goes long.

  12. Burrage moves ahead in second setpublished at 09:22 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Gauff 6-3 3-4 Burrage

    Jodie Burrage has all the momentum right now!

    The Briton cups her ear and asks for more from the crowd as she makes it seven consecutive points against Coco Gauff with a couple of superb forehands to go from breaking to love to 40-0 up on serve.

    Back-to-back double faults threaten to derail her resurgence, but Burrage gets over the line to move ahead with a third straight game.

    I like how low Jodie Burrage just stayed on that ball, it was a pretty weak approach by Coco Gauff just dead in the middle. Jodie is staying low, just keeping her concentration and ready to make the pass, just really clear-headed there.

  14. Draper holdspublished at 09:21 Greenwich Mean Time

    Draper 6-7 (3-7) 1-0 Kokkinakis*

    Jack Draper was deep in conversation with his coaching team as he awaited Thanasi Kokkinakis' return to the court.

    The Briton has a big challenge ahead. He's off to a solid start with a hold to 15.

  15. Burrage breaks back in second setpublished at 09:20 Greenwich Mean Time

    Gauff 6-3 3-3 Burrage*

    Jodie Burrage strikes back!

    Wow, I'm not sure many saw that coming. Coco Gauff looked as though she was making a dash to the finish line at 3-1 up but Burrage is going to try and make the third seed work all the way for this one.

    That was not a great game at all for Gauff. Just a blip?

    British number four Harriet Dart, who received a late call-up to this year's Australian Open as a lucky loser, is preparing for her second round clash against 18th seed Donna Vekic.

    Dart had to fight off both injury and cramp, whilst also saving two match points in the final set, to seal her first round 7-5 2-6 7-6 win over Croatian Jana Fett at Melbourne Park.

    The Briton said she felt "happy to get over the line" against Fett, but she will be hoping to be on top form against Wimbledon semi-finalist Vekic.

    That double fault from Draper was crucial in the tie-break - and you could see it coming.

    The Brit's rhythm was disturbed by the Aussie cheers between first and second serves, which drew a rebuke from chair umpire Marijana Veljovic.

    You could tell he wasn't set right before his second serve.

    It swung momentum to Kokkinakis, who wasn't going to let the mini-break slip given the way he was serving.

    That's well constructed by Thanasi Kokkinakis using the forehand, pulling a nice angle in the second last forehand and the redirection of it up the line.

    Jack Draper is not able to get a racquet on to it, that's is how clean Thanasi has been striking the forehand.

  20. Burrage holds servepublished at 09:17 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Gauff 6-3 3-2 Burrage

    Jodie Burrage continues to stick to her task as best she can, overcoming an early double fault to hold serve to 30 and remain in touch in what is, for her, a must-win set.

    Now, can she create an opportunity?
