Good morning, g’day etc. It’s the second day in Melbourne Park and we begin our blog with the bad news. Andy Murray is heading out in straight sets to Tomás Martín Etcheverry. The first set was a war, in the usual fashion, but the Argentine has had all his own way since then.

Other news: Hugo Humbert, 21st seed, defeated David Goffin in four sets, 6-2, 7-5, 5-7, 6-3. He celebrated with a very manly roar.
“I decided to take a little break and focus on this tournament.” says Jabar. “Last year wasn't very good here so I was a little stressed out. I'm very bad at sightseeing and basically my life is in hotels here and I enjoy the restaurants because I love the food. ”
Jabul defeats Starodubtseva 6-3 6-1
Ons Javert, on the other hand, had no such problems in the second set. Yulia Starodubtseva had no answers and the second set was an easy victory.
The tiebreak will also be tense. The packed crowd roars for the local boy, even though he's from Sydney, and there's a fist pump when de Minaur scrubs 3-3 and then 4-3. Raonic's first serve is still too hot and unwieldy, but when his opponent is completely at sea, he creates chaos that is clearly a winner. He crashed into the net to make it 4-5. But De Minaur's double fault…ah. Raonic then found the net and his serve gave him set point. A beautiful woman saved me at the very edge of the 6-6 line. And now he's on set point, 7-6 up. And De Minaur's second serve was also out. Or was it the second shot? In any case, it's a Canadian setting.
Yes, Deminar vs. Raonic will be decided in the first set. It's 5 against 5. And then there's the tiebreak.
Ons Jabour, Tunisian, two-time Grand Slam finalisthad some problems with Yulia Starodubtseva, a 17-year-old from Ukraine, but had just won the first set 6-4 at Margaret Court Arena.

Alex de Minaur vs. Milos Raonic – Australia vs. Canada – is being held at Rod Laver Arena and looks like it will last a long time. Raonic is a huge server and that demands a lot from the local lad. First set served: 3-4.
Elsewhere in Melbourne Park:
The sad story of that day is as follows. Details will be explained later.
As for Murray, let's see what else We heard from him today. He's going to hold a press conference, so he'll deliver some important words. And as for the brave Brit, Jodie Ballage lost yesterday, so it's now 2 wins and 2 losses. This was his second loss in the opening round of the Australian Open in 16 years. Murray is a five-time finalist, but his only loss in the first round since 2008 was an emotional five-set match against Roberto Bautista Agut five years ago, when he suffered the extent of a hip problem. After it was revealed. That was the night his career was widely reported to be over. It wasn't. But he was never the same player after that.

Hetch Berry talks about the first set, all 61 minutes were key. “I looked at the clock and tried to focus on my game because I knew it wasn't good for me because it was a long battle. I just want to keep going and improve my game,” he said of Murray. It's polite enough to call him a “legend.”
Hetchberry beats Murray 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.
The Argentine was too good for Murray, who lacked fitness. It's been five years since Murray's work was done and he was declared retired. Those questions still resonate today.

preamble
Good morning, G'day, etc. It's his second day at Melbourne Park, but the blog starts with some bad news. Andy Murray will face Tomas Martin Etcheverry in straight sets. The first set was a war as usual, but the Argentine has been doing things his own way ever since.
