The Australian Open is underway for 2025 and Day 2 features 11 Aussies in action, hoping for a win in Melbourne.
Headlined by Nick Kyrgios -- who is under an injury cloud -- on John Cain Arena in the evening, there's plenty of action to keep up with. Follow the fortunes of all the Australians here.
Margaret Court Arena, day session (from 11:30am):
Ajla Tomljanovic (AUS) (WC) def. Ashlyn Krueger
6-4, 4-6, 6-4
Tomljanovic justified her wildcard selection, defeating American world No. 52 Ashlyn Krueger in three hard-fought sets on Margaret Court Arena.
Still on the comeback trail after missing most of 2023 and parts of 2024 through injury, the Aussie was a little shaky at times, blowing a 4-0 lead in the decider and serving eight double faults in the encounter, but she steadied late to advance to the second round.
"To come out [onto Margaret Court Arena] and play well, there's no better feeling," she said about returning to Melbourne.
"Having lost to her last week, it felt pretty sweet to play her again and [win]."
Tomljanovic will face No. 12 seed Diana Schnaider in the second round.
Jordan Thompson (AUS) (27) vs. Dominik Koepfer
John Cain Arena, twilight session (from 5:00pm)
Maya Joint (AUS) (WC) vs. Jessica Pegula (7)

Court 3, day session (from 11:00am):
Zeynep Sonmez def by. Talia Gibson (AUS) (WC)
3-6, 7-6(5), 6-1
A huge result for the wildcard, Gibson! Just 20 yeasrs of age, the Aussie has won her first Grand Slam main draw match, coming from a set down to win against Turkiye's Zeynep Sonmez. Gibson battled hard in a see-sawing second set before cruising through in the third with three breaks to her name.
She'll face the 11th seed Paula Badosa in the second round.

Greet Minnen vs. Destanee Aiava (AUS)
