On the Rod Laver Arena we start with that top seed, Iga Swiatek, against Linda Noskova, the 19-year-old Czech who had never been so far as the third round of a grand slam before and, let’s face it, is unlikely to get any further in this one, and by way of afters have Alexander Sverev against the 6ft 4in American Alex Michelsen, another 19-year-old in uncharted grand slam territory.

On Margaret Court Felix Auger-Aliassime, the Canadian who knocked Dominic Thiem out in round one, plays the third seed, Daniil Medvedev, in a rematch of the 2022 quarter-final, which dragged into the early hours as Medvedev came back from two sets down to win in dramatic style. They played twice last year, with Medvedev winning both in straight sets (he’s 6-0 up overall on the head-to-head). “I’m looking forward to the next time I can put myself in that situation again, I believe I can cross the line,” Auger-Aliassime said after that 2022 defeat – and now’s his chance. Then Elina Svitolina faces Viktorija Golubic, the 31-year-old world No85. They have only played each other once, in Melbourne five years ago, when Golubic won all of three games.

All of that plus any other business, a bit of reaction and reportage from the earlier stuff, and a bit of whingeing about how cold it’s been in England recently, should add up to a sparkling few hours. Strap yourselves in!
