All eyes on what may be final professional match for Andy

Courier Sport picks out three of the highlights from the opening day in Melbourne.

Roberto Bautista Agut v Andy Murray (Melbourne Arena, not before 7am GMT)

All eyes will be on Melbourne Arena for what could be Murray’s last professional match. While his mind and most of his body are still more than willing, his right hip leaves him severely compromised. Spaniard Bautista Agut, in form and one of the biggest grinders on tour, offers a formidable challenge.

Marin Cilic v Bernard Tomic (second in evening session on Margaret Court Arena, where play starts at 8am GMT)

Australia’s Tomic has been handed a high-profile first-round match against last year’s runner-up Cilic. Tomic failed to qualify 12 months ago but has climbed back into the top 100.

Alison Van Uytvanck v Caroline Wozniacki (first on evening session on Rod Laver Arena, where play starts at 8am GMT)

Wozniacki defeated Simona Halep to win a long-awaited first slam title here 12 months ago but the rest of 2018 was a struggle and in October she revealed a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Belgian Van Uytvanck is not at her best on hard courts but has proved capable of big wins.
