Gigi Salmon is joined by tennis correspondent Russell Fuller and 1987 Wimbledon champion Pat Cash to review a standout opening day at the Australian Open.

They analyse a perfect start for the British players, with Emma Raducanu winning in straight sets, Cameron Norrie battling through a five-set match, and Arthur Fery claiming his first overseas Grand Slam victory.

There’s also discussion of commanding straight-set wins for world number ones Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka on Rod Laver Arena, and reflection on a dramatic near-miss for 45-year-old Venus Williams, who came agonisingly close to a first Grand Slam match win in over four years.
