RAFAEL NADAL and Maria Sharapova made smooth progress in yesterday’s Australian Open night session, after Roger Federer’s shock exit. Nadal suffered no repeat of the cramp that affected his previous match as he beat Israel’s Dudi Sela 6-1 6-0 7-5. Sharapova had to save match points in round two, but swept past 31st seed Zarina Diyas 6-1 6-1.

Eugenie Bouchard and Andy Murray had straight-sets wins, and Grigor Dimitrov beat Marcos Bahgdatis in five sets. — BBC Sport
