After thrashing 37-year-old Dominican journeyman Victor Estrella Burgos for the loss of just three games on Monday, Rafael Nadal is back in action but can expect a stiffer test from Leonardo Mayer.

The Spaniard will be in the third match on Melbourne’s main court the Rod Laver Arena, with Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov and home favourite Daria Gavrilova the main attractions in the evening session.

But Australian eyes will keenly focused on the Hisense Arena, the third court but Nick Kyrgios’ preferred venue: he will take on Viktor Troicki in the evening.
