The coverage includes daily radio commentaries on Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, live text commentaries on the website and app, and TV highlights on Saturday.

In his first match back at the Australian Open, Andy Murray beat Georgian 21st seed Nikoloz Basilashvili in a five-set match.

The first set was easy for Murray, but he didn't have a chance of a routine win.

Murray, 34, won both of his games before the pendulum swung both ways.

The former world number one is through to the second round.

Dan Evans and Liam Broady play later in the day.

Murray is the first British man to win in Australia this year after Norrie was beaten by Sebastian Korda on the first day.

Murray will play Taro Daniel in the second round.

"It's amazing," Murray said after he won on the arena.

I've put in a lot of hard work to get here and it's been a tough three or four years.

The atmosphere on this court is amazing.

I couldn't have asked for a better place to end my career, because I could not have asked for a better five-set battle.

More to come.
