The 35-year-old Murray has slammed his three grands. He was a champion and five-time runner-up at Melbourne Park. He played Berrettini over his four and a half hours in the first round. Novak Djokovic is also in the second round, aiming for his record-breaking 10th Australian Open title and his 22nd Grand Slam trophy. It equals the men&#8217;s record currently held by Rafael Nadal, who injured his hip on Wednesday and lost in the second round. The most interesting women&#8217;s match on Thursday&#8217;s schedule is her WTA Finals champion and fourth seed Caroline Garcia pitting 2021 US Open finalist Leila Fernandez.<\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">forecast for thursday<\/p>\n<p displaynav=\"true\" class=\"mg-t-b-20 ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt88 mg-t-b-20 article-content\" data-v-1f556a34=\"\">cloudy.
