Australian Open day five: Live results and game-by-game updates as Emma Raducanu discusses Wimbledon controversy with Andy Murray, as Katie Boulter, Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis prepare to kick off

Emma Raducanu said she had tried to reach out to apologize to Andy Murray following her controversial withdrawal from their mixed doubles partnership at Wimbledon last year.

The 22-year-old received widespread criticism following the move, including from Murray's mother Judy, who posted a sarcastic message on X claiming that Raducanu's withdrawal due to injury was “astonishing”.

The Briton, who advanced to the third round of the women's singles event this afternoon, was forced to withdraw from the match citing the need to protect an injured wrist.

Jacob Fearnley and Jack Draper secured their place in the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday night with two big wins late in the night.

And the British have continued to dazzle at Melbourne Park, with Emma Raducanu beating Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-5.

However, fears were raised after Raducanu received treatment for what was a lower back problem during the match.

Today, the British showed great tenacity to overcome Anisimova, 35 years old.

Speaking about his injury, he said:

I haven't fully researched it yet. I just did my recovery and stuff. I haven't seen the physiotherapists. I think it's almost to be expected when you haven't played a game in so long. And then having two really physical ones. I think small inconveniences are going to arise here. and there. I just hope that's it.

Yes, I was able to overcome some pain today, but I will try to recover as best as possible over the next day.

It's been a busy day here at Melbourne Park!

The big news today is that Alex de Minaur achieved a three-set victory against Tristan Boyer to advance to the second round of the tournament.

Even though there were a lot of expectations on the Australian, he jumped out with confidence and overtook the American on the Rod Laver Arena.

He will now face Argentine Francisco Cerundolo, seeded number 31, in the third round.

It was a comfortable victory for De Minaur, who continues to show how great he is on the court, despite the wave of expectations on him to break the long wait for an Australian player to win at Melbourne Park since Mark Edmonson won at Kooyong in 1976. .

Meanwhile, his fiancée, Katie Boulter, will begin the second round soon and the Brit will face Veronika Kudermetova on Court 3.
