It was a bad day for the Australians as both Australian players, Hewitt and Tomic, were left out of the race right in the first round of the Australian Open at Melbourne on the Day-2 of the competition.

The match to watch on Day-2 today was between world no.1 Rafael Nadal and Bernard Tomic of Australia. However, the match ended in unusual circumstances after Bernard Tomic retired at a time when Nadal had won the first set 6-4. Tomic, 21, pulled up with a groin injury following a serve in the first game of the match and only continued after off-court treatment.

During their time on court Nadal claimed an impressive 88% of his first-service points, with the speed of his first serve averaging 181 kilometres per hour.

In an other surprise ouster, Australian Hewitt crashed out of the competition when 24th ranked Italian A Seppi beat him in a full five set match 7(7)-6(4), 6-3, 7-5, 7-5, 7-5. The results show for itself how much resilience Hewitt put in, specially in the last three sets to win over the Italian. But Seppi proved too good to be scared and won the match.

As for other men's single events, 6th ranked Roger Federer beat J.Duckworth of Australia in straight and easy sets 6-4, 6-4 and 6-2.


In another important match, British No.1 and the Wimbledon champion Andy Murray moved to the second round beating the Melbourne heat and world No. 112 Soeda 6-1 6-1 6-3. 

In the women singles' category, defending champion Victoria Azarenka of Belarus beat 91st ranked Swede Larsson 7(7)-6(2) and 6-2 to march on to possibly meet Serena Williams in the final to defend her title - or would it be Maria Sharapova coming face to face with Serena. In fact Azarenka does not seem to be in full form as she has lost six of her last ten matches - the last against Serena in Brisbane.

Maria Sharapova, the world no.3 beat American B.Mattek-Sands 6-3, 6-4 to move on to the second round.

Nadal vs Tomic: Australian Open - Day 2 | Watch Free Live Streaming - 14 January 2014

The first day of Australian Open is over with Venus Williams and Haas out of the competition on day 1.

On Day 2, many left over top seeded players like Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Maria Sharapova and defending champion Azarenka are going to contest for the move over to the second round.

The thrill comes when world no.1 and 2009 Australian title holder Rafael Nadal confronts 52nd ranked Australian Bernard Tomic - six years younger to him, at the Rod Lver Arena Tuuesday morning. 

The temperature is already rising before the match as Bernard Tomic is vowing to take it to Rafael Nadal in their first-round Australian Open blockbuster.

21-year-old Tomic says he'll need to be at the very top of his game to challenge the 13-times grand slam champion, almost certainly under the bright lights of Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday night.

This is the second time that both players are facing each other. They last met at Melbourne in 2011 when Nadal beat Tomic in the third round of the Australian Open 2011 6-2 7-5 6-3. And this time they meet right in the first round.

Nadal is eyeing the Australian title this year and seems very confident, though he has lost twive in his last ten matches. On the other hand, Tomic has lost four matches out of ten - the last being at ATP Sydney final recenly at the hands of Del Potro.

Nadal has some reservations about his face-up with Tomic. 

"It's not the best start, I know, to a grand slam," Nadal said at Melbourne Park today. Playing against a player who is local and who is young, who played great in the past here, and who is playing well. He's in the final of Sydney. It's a tough start. I just need to be ready and practice with great tactics every day. Try to do the right things in every moment to arrive in the first round being competitive. That's the only way."

The first round match between Nadal and Tomic  is scheduled for 14 January 2014 at 08:00 GMT at Rod Laver Arena

However, Tomic has his own view point when he says: "I'm young and I'm learning. You get to a point where you need to stop and I think it's a good bit of advice.
