Good afternoon and welcome to the second day of Australia’s summer of tennis!

It’s day two of the United Cup and we’re in action in two cities now, as Sydney joins Perth’s party.

The big ticket item today is Alex de Minaur, in action for the first time this season as he takes on Tomás Martín Etcheverry of Argentina.

But there’s plenty of other stuff taking place across the country,.

Indeed, we’re already under way in Perth and Sydney, with France and Switzerland tied up at 1-1 in their contest at the moment, and Canada leading Croatia 1-0.

But we’ll get into that imminently.
