0031: And the really good news, Aoife, is that Sorensen is already a break up against Yen-Hsun Lu, the man who beat Andy Murray at the Olympics. Sorensen is the first Irishman in 25 years to make the first round of a Grand Slam.
0028: “Cant wait for the sorensen match. Im so happy an irish man in finally in a grand slam. Come on Louk!!!”
From Aoife in Ireland via text****0026: After a good start, there are worrying signs for former world number one Ana Ivanovic as she lets an early break slip away against Perry. The Serb is down at 21 in the world these days and her confidence looks to be fragile at best. O’ Brien is on serve against Mayr after three games.0022: For anyone who missed it,you can still catch highlights of Andy Murray’s win over Kevin Andersonfor a few more hours. The Brit was in fine form and definitely looks to be bit more positive so far this year, with some heavier forehands and impressive volleying. He probably learned that off Laura Robson.0017: An early scoot around the grounds sees Ivanovic and Perry, both decked out in yellow, share the opening two games, Mayr hold her opening service game against O’Brien, 21st seed Tomas Berdych get an early break against Robin Haase, and an early bid for top tennis name in Coco Vandeweghe on Court 21.
5 live’s Steve Rudge on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/5livetennis)“Morning all. Few more coppers around Flinders St station this morning keeping an eye on folks after the trouble yesterday.”
0007: The temperature has not yet reached the shoe-melting heights of previous years but at least there is not much sign of rain today. We have world-class knocking up going on around Melbourne Park right now, with Sam Stosur and Xinyun Han on Rod Laver Arena, Fernando Verdasco and Carsten Ball on Hisense Arena, and an interesting one between Shenay Perry and Ana Ivanovic on Margaret Court Arena.0001: As usual, your input is required.

After wins for Andy Murray and Elena Baltacha yesterday, we’re just five minutes away from seeing if Katie O’Brien can continue this golden age of British tennis when she takes on Austria’s Patricia Mayr out on Court 4. And if the notoriously dicey Melbourne weather permits, we will also get a first look at Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, the Williams sisters and Irish superstar Louk Sorensen in the hours that follow.
