Live updates: Huge star is bounced out of the Australian Open on Day Two as Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios get their tournaments underway – follow all the action here

Here comes the man we’ve all been waiting for!

Nick Kyrgios has arrived in the tennis precinct ahead of his clash against British star Jacob Fearnley.

Watching Kyrgios and Djokovic dance around the Pat Rafter arena two weeks ago brought home how much the ATP Tour has missed the Aussie star, not least his home fans back in Australia.

Alongside Djokovic, the duo had fans at the Queensland Tennis Centre on their feet, playing some sensational trick shots, laughing and joking with each other and even dancing together while on the court.

Match fitness did not seem a great issue either for Kyrgios and he largely put to bed doubts or concerns over his debilitating wrist injury that had left him unable to carry a shopping bag and even pour salt on his chips.

Today he’ll make his long-awaited Grand Slam comeback and the fans have been going Kyrgios crazy at Melbourne Park with some queuing for nearly five hours to get in.

This could perhaps go down as one of the biggest upsets of the fortnight, with world No 12, Stefanos Tsitsipas making a shock early exit from the Australian Open earlier this afternoon.

The 2023 Australian Open finalist suffered a huge loss by US star Alex Michelsen, who bested his Greek opponent 5-7 3-6 6-2 4-6.

Michelsen, who is ranked 42nd on the ATP Tour seized one of the biggest wins in his career with 20-year-old youngster, barring the third set, dominating Tsitsipas at the John Cain Arena.

The result means that the Greek star has failed to reach the second round of his last two Grand Slam appearances, with the 2019 ATP Tour Finals winner suffering defeat by Thanasi Kokkinakis at Flushing Meadows last September.

Some fans have been stood out all morning in the hot Melbourne sun in hopes of snagging a ticket to watch Kyrgios make his Australian Open return.

After yesterday’s storms, it’s been a very warm day here in Melbourne, with temperatures topping around 27ºc earlier today.

Thousands of fans have been queueing up outside the gates, with lines outside the Rod Laver entrance stretching nearly 300m back.

Kyrgios, though, has hailed some fans for their support, posting several snaps on his Instagram account to applaud their dedication.

Good afternoon and welcome back to Melbourne Park for a HUGE day of tennis!

Boy, have we got a lot in store tonight with Nick Kyrgios set to make his Grand Slam return for the first time since the 2022 US Open.

Novak Djokovic, gunning to win his 11th Australian Open title, also gets his tournament underway tonight against US Star Nishesh Basavareddy on Rod Laver later tonight.

But first we’ve got a massive upset to bring you from Melbourne Park…
