Norris, Fery and Raducanu all thought the first round at the Aussie Open.

Unsurprisingly Boulter knocked out by the no 10 seed. They seem to have a pretty rubbish schedule at the Aussie Open they're playing 1st round matches on day 3.

Although day one was Sunday, so they started a day ahead of most Grand Slams. Really think January is too hot to be playing in Australia and this should be in about March. Would move the US Open back to about October if it was up to me, too.

Norrie has just won his match, now the only Brit left standing in round 3, after defeats for Levy and sadly Raducanu.

I watched some of Raducanu last night before I went to bed.  There is a player in there for sure, but I don't know what is going on with her mentally - so many chances to kill a ball on the forehand and she would just dolly it back or hit a forehand down the middle.  When you look at how she played when she won the US Open she was so commanding, it's a different player now.  I don't know what to think.

Another twenty or so coaching changes will sort it, I'm sure.

Djokovic through to the quarters as his next opponent has had to withdraw with an injury. He was very lucky not to  have been disqualified in his last match, when he very nearly hit a ball girl, with a ball he lashed at in fury.

Having reached the quarters by default, Djokovic makes the semis, after Musetti had to retire injured. Musetti was leading by 2 sets at the time.

It's Alcaraz, Sinner, Djokovic and Zverev in the semis, I don't mind, who wins the title, as long as it's Alcaraz.

Now that's a surprising bunch of semi-finalists.

Are there any coaches left for Raducanu? I think Steve Bruce is free.

She's had more coaches than Meghan Markle has had personal assistants.

Watching Djokovic and Sinner. Incredible match, the mental strength and determination from Djokovic is amazing. Nearly one thirty in the morning there. Sinner could be on his way out here.

What a beast of a player Novak is. Unbelievable match.
