Emma Raducanu, Andy Murray and Dan Evans are among six British players who will feature on day two of the 2022 Australian Open on Tuesday.

All eyes will be on US Open champion Raducanu as she will make her Australian Open main draw debut in what will be her first Grand Slam since her fairytale run at Flushing Meadows.

The 19-year-old, though, has a tough opener as she will face 2017 US Open winner Sloane Stephens from the United States in the final match of the night session on Margaret Court Arena.

The match is unlikely to start before 10:00 UK time (07:00 Melbourne time) as it will take place after the Alex de Minaur-Lorenzo Musetti encounter.

Harriet Dart will be the first British player in action on day two as she will face seventh seed and former French Open champion Iga Swiatek in the second match of the morning session on Rod Laver Arena with the action likely to get underway at 01:15 UK time (12:00 Melbourne time).

Heather Watson is the other British female player in the main draw and she faces Mayar Sherif from Egypt in the third game on Court 8 at about 3:15am.

Wildcard Murray is set for his first appearance in Melbourne since 2019 and he takes on 21st seed Nikoloz Basilashvili on John Cain Arena. The match is scheduled to start at 4:00 UK time (15:00 local time).

British No 2 Evans faces David Goffin at about 03:15 UK time on Court 13 while qualifier Liam Broady will play in a feature match against Nick Kyrgios on John Cain Arena at about 8:00 UK time.

In terms of the big-name players in action, second seed Daniil Medvedev will kick off his campaign against Henri Laaksonen from Switzerland at about 02:30 British time on Rod Laver Arena while fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Mikael Ymer from Sweden in the final match of the day on the same court.

Second seed in the women’s draw, Aryna Sabalenka, will take on Storm Sanders from Australia at about 08:00 British time on Rod Laver Arena while third seed Garbine Muguraza faces Clara Burel in the first match of the day on the centre court.
