Lucy Shuker is representing Britain here, in singles and doubles.
R1: Lucy Shuker GBR d. Agnieszka Bartczak POL 6-1 4-6 6-2
R2: Lucy Shuker GBR v Sharon Walravan NED (3)
All this talk of Andy Murray and you've all missed our best chance of an Australian Open winner. Tough one here for Lucy though. Match will be played Wednesday night. Thursday in Aus.
R1: Daniela Di Toro AUS/Lucy Shuker GBR v Florence Gravellier FRA/Korie Koman NED
Di Toro is the former world number 1 and won the Aussie Open 10 times! She officially retired in 2004 but has returned to play in her home grand slam. Hopefully she still has what it takes and can help Shuker to a slam title! Match will be played tonight.

These two have met once before, last September with Walravan emerging a 6-1 6-1 winner. Lucy is really up against it here, match about to start.

Lucy lost 7-6 (7-5) 6-1. Put up a good fight in first set, caved in slightly in second. Was a mini break up in tiebreak before losing it too. Oh well, that's her tournament over.
