Australian Open 2011: Day Two in pictures

After last year's appearance in the final, Andy Murray must be hoping to go one better this year and win his first grand slam title. His campaign starts with a game against Slovakia's Karol Beck Photograph: Quinn Rooney/Getty Images No prize for guessing who she'll be cheering for Photograph: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images It's an easy start for the No5 seed after Beck retired with a shoulder injury as Murray was heading towards a straight-sets victory. The British No1 was leading 6-3, 6-1, 4-2 when the match came to a premature end. He will now face the 23-year-old Ukrainian Illya Marchenko Photograph: Adam Davy/EMPICS Sport A thoughtful looking Rafael Nadal during his opening match against Marcos Daniel Photograph: Scott Barbour/Getty Images Nadal didn't see as much action as he perhaps would have liked as Daniel retired hurt with the world No1 leading 6-0, 5-0 Photograph: Mark Baker/AP Michael Llodra stretches to play a backhand during his 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Juan Ignacio Chela Photograph: Mark Kolbe/Getty Images Robin Soderling is enjoying his match against Potito Starace and no wonder, the No4 seed won easily 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 Photograph: Daniel Munoz/Reuters However Juan Martín del Potro seems to be having to work during his 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Dudi Sela Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images David Ferrer concentrates as he lines up a shot during his 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 victory over Jarkko Nieminen Photograph: Franck Robichon/EPA A general view of the Rod Laver Arena as Lleyton Hewitt plays his first-round match against David Nalbandian Photograph: Julian Finney/Getty Images That'll be the reaction of most of the crowd too as local boy Hewitt eventually loses the five setter.
