ANDY Murray has been handed an evening match at the Australian Open as he attempts to bring down the curtain on his career.
The Scot, who plans to quit at some stage over the next six months, will face Spaniard Roberto Baustista Agut, the No.22 seed, in the first round from 6pm local time (7am GMT) on the Melbourne Arena.
If it proves to be the final match of his career, then Murray will welcome the fact it is a night-time scheduling rather than in the baking hot afternoon.
There are eight Brits involved in Melbourne
and seven of them play on the opening day. The tournament is being shown live on Eurosport and via the Eurosport Player.
Britain’s No.1 male tennis star Kyle Edmund is third up on the Melbourne Arena against Czech Tomas Berdych, a former Top-10 player.
For those scheduled to play in the morning and afternoon, they should feel hot under the collar as temperatures are set to rise to 35 DEGREES!
Harriet Dart will need to wear a hat and lots of sunscream as she is first up on the opening day with a plum tie against her hero Maria Sharapova.
The 22-year-old from London, who came through qualifying, is making only her second Grand Slam appearance.
This will be first up on the Rod Laver Arena – the Australian Open’s version of Centre Court – from 11am local time (12am GMT).

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
