Catch you in the morning!

Casper progresses

Lachlan Harper

Casper Ruud is through to the third round of the Australian Open.

He was the last match tonight and defeated Jaume Munar 6-3, 7-5, 6-4.

The former world No.13 did it with relative ease and will play Marin Čilić next.

Special Ks are out!

Lachlan Harper

For the second year in a row, it's a first round knockout for Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis.

More importantly, Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans are through to the second!

Final score is 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(10-4).

Brilliant from Kubler

Lachlan Harper

Jason Kubler has been ON with his reviews.

And he did it again when he thought Kokkinakis hit the ball before it went over the net.

He was right and that gifted Kubler and Polmans a 3-1 lead.

Thanasi Kokkinakis hits the ball before it goes over the net.  Nine

We're going to a tiebreaker

Lachlan Harper

Well it's time for a tiebreak!

Nick Kyrgios is lucky to not have been penalised after some frustration showed.

He managed to keep himself in check though and simply just slapped his thigh.

We're even

Lachlan Harper

It's 5-5 in the final set now after the hold from Kubler and Polmans.

It's also been noted there's some limping coming from Kyrgios.

He has heavy strapping on his left knee and an ankle guard.

GAME Special Ks

Lachlan Harper

Thanasi Kokkinakis has held on his serve!

And there's a massive grimace on his face after it.

It's 5-4 in the final set.

Two games to the Aussies

Lachlan Harper

But which Aussies?

Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans.

They've gone bang, bang and broken the serve of Nick Kyrgios.

Kubler and Polmans are on serve now at 3-4.
