Australian Open | Melbourne
Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the 2019 Australian Open.
The build-up to this year’s tournament has been dominated by the news that Andy Murray will retire from professional tennis this year – with this month’s tournament possibly being his last.
The Brit takes on Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut on Monday morning, after Kyle Edmund was sent crashing out in straight sets by Tomas Berdych.
Reigning Men’s Singles champion Roger Federer is in action in the evening session, where he faces Uzbekistani Denis Istomin in the Rod Laver Arena, where Rafael Nadal progressed earlier in the day with a straight-sets victory over the impressive wildcard, James Duckworth.
Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic and Johanna Konta are all in action on day two.
We’ll bring you LIVE updates throughout the tournament in Melbourne, so stay tuned for all the action…
