Aussies plus Ivanovic and Murray headline day six

It’s an all-Aussie affair Saturday night as Bernard Tomic faces John Millman LIVE on Channel 7/7mate and the 7Tennis app.

The pair has faced each once before back in 2011, where Tomic ran out the winner two sets to one, finishing with a tight tie-breaker in the third set.

World No. 2 Andy Murray takes on Portugal’s Joao Sousa at 7pm AEDT and although the Great Brit has won all six of their encounters, Sousa did take a set off him last time they played.
