Australian Open Andy Murray vs Vincent Millot in night session in round two

Andy Murray vs Vincent Millot

Andy Murray should avoid the worst of the heat in round two of the Australian Open as he will take on France's Vincent Millot in the night session on Thursday.

The temperature reached 41C for the Wimbledon champion's opening win over Go Soeda on Monday, and similar temperatures are expected on day four.
Murray will play Millot in the second night match on Rod Laver Arena at around 20:30 local time (09:30 GMT), but it is still likely to be far from comfortable.

The temperature has remained as high as 36C during the previous two evening sessions.

As well as the heat, Murray is also continuing his return after back surgery, with just three competitive matches under his belt since the US Open last September.
"In these conditions you want to win fast," said the fourth seed. "Whether I've played a lot of matches or not, every player would want to get off the court as quickly as possible.
"I'm well aware if I go further in the tournament the matches are going to get longer and tougher.
"I'm still waiting to see every day how I'm going to wake up. I'm confident that I'm going to be OK.
"But these tournaments over best-of-five-set matches on the hard courts, over two weeks, it's tough on the body."
