A whole host of tennis' biggest names will be taking to the court on the second day of the Australian Open, and we'll keep you up to date with how they all get on right here.

18:10 CET - The tennis is done for the day, but you don't have to wait long until it gets back underway again, such is the beauty of the early stages of a Grand Slam!

Day Three's matches will begin at 01:00 CET, with Iga Swiatek (22) and Grigor Dimitrov (32) beginning their campaigns around an hour later. You can follow those games on our scores page, and at 07:00 CET, we'll start a brand new tracker to round up everything that happened in the early hours of the morning and bring you live coverage of the evening session in Melbourne, which will feature Carlos Alcaraz (20) and Elena Rybakina (24).

15:40 CET - In the final match of the day in Melbourne, world number 30 Felix Auger-Aliassime (23) has won a first-round epic against Dominic Thiem (30) 6-3, 7-5, 6-7(5), 5-7, 6-3.

The Canadian looked to be wrapping it up in three sets before Austrian Thiem came roaring back, winning the third and fourth sets before losing the decider in what was a fitting end to a great day's play.

You can catch up on all the men's results here and the women's here.

13:26 CET - Naomi Osaka's (26) long-awaited return to Grand Slam action didn't go according to plan, with the former world number one losing 6-4, 7-6 to fifteenth seed Caroline Garcia (30).

Osaka played well, only dropping serve once, but Garcia was simply too good today.

12:00 CET - In one of the last matches on the women’s side for the day, returning former champ Naomi Osaka (26) is taking on Carolina Garcia (30) in one of the encounters of the round!

11:23 CET - Aussie number one Alex De Minaur (24) is through with Milos Raonic (33) being forced to retire while trailing 6-7, 6-3, 2-0.

On the women's side, former world number two Paula Badosa (26) has returned from injury in style, beating Taylor Townsend (27) 6-1, 6-3 in her first Grand Slam match since Wimbledon. 

10:31 CET - There are currently nine matches ongoing and three yet to start in Melbourne, with Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Dominic Thiem and Caroline Garcia vs Naomi Osaka both clashes that are sure to thrill.

10:16 CET - Seeds have been dropping like flies on the women's side of the tournament today with Marie Bouzkova (25), Anastasia Potapova (22), Ekaterina Alexandrova (29) and Donna Vekic (27) all losing along with Vondrousova. 

Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur (29) has avoided such a fate though, beating Yulia Starodubtseva (23) 6-3, 6-1

07:35 CET - US Open champion Coco Gauff (19) has advanced without too much trouble, winning 6-3, 6-0 against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova (29), and men's third seed Daniil Medvedev (27) is also through with opponent Terence Atmane (22) retiring when 5-7, 6-2, 6-4, 1-0 down.

07:20 CET - Hello and welcome to Flashscore's coverage of the second day of the Australian Open!
