**World number five Andy Murray will get his first taste of evening conditions at the 2010 Australian Open when he faces Marc Gicquel on Wednesday.**The second-round match is scheduled to begin not before 0800 GMT (7pm local time) on Margaret Court Arena and will be shown live on BBC Two and online.
Gicquel, 32, should offer Murray a tougher test than first-round opponent Kevin Anderson, who won four games.
“Gicquel’s a tough player, with a lot of experience,” said Murray.
The pair met in Rotterdam last year, when Gicquel levelled the match at one set all before retiring injured in the third.
Gicquel, the world number 57, defeated Simone Bolelli 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-2) 6-3 in a rain-delayed first-round match on Tuesday.
