Novak Djokovic breezed into round three after a straight sets win over Andrey Kuznetsov.
There was disappointment for Lleyton Hewitt who lost to Benjamin Becker despite being two sets up. There's speculation that he may be considering retirement in the not too distant future.
Stan Wawrinka is also into the next round after defeating Marius Copil in straight sets.
Victoria Azarenka beat Caroline Wozniacki in straight sets and there were also wins for the two Williams sisters.
Andy Murray plays his third round match on Friday against Joao Sousa. The match should begin around 3:30am UK time. It's forecast to be cooler tomorrow than it was on Wednesday for his second round match so that should go in his favour.
I don't expect any hiccups with this one.

Just watching the last 16 opposition just now with Grigor Dimitrov v Marcos Baghdatis.
Assuming Murray wins later on, he'll play the winner of this match in the fourth round on Sunday.

Could be an interesting story developing in that match as Baghdatis has taken the first set 6-4.
I'll need to wait until I wake up to find out what happened as it's bed time now!

Another good win for Murray today, winning in straight sets. The tournament really starts now for him though as the first real test comes up next against Grigor Dimitrov in the last 16 after he came through against Marcos Baghdatis in five sets.
I'm shocked to see that Roger Federer is out at the third round stage of the Australian Open though, which is his earliest exit at the tournament since 2001.
I'm even more shocked that his exit was at the hands of Andreas Seppi considering that he had never lost to him in their ten previous matches.
If Murray gets past Dimitrov, he really ought to get to the semis as he would play either Seppi or Nick Kyrgios in the quarter finals, who are both unseeded.

Dimitrov's form since Wimbledon has been ok but not spectacular.
His form in the Masters and Grand Slam events since then is;
Toronto Masters - Semis (lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga)
Cincinnati Masters - 2nd round (lost to Jerzy Janowicz)
US Open - last 16 (lost to Gael Monfils)
Shanghai Masters - 2nd round (lost to Julien Benneteau)
Paris Masters - last 16 (lost to Andy Murray)
He hasn't won any titles since then and he's only made one final which was a 250 event in Stockholm.
He definitely has the game to trouble Murray but if Andy plays his best tennis, I think he'll be fine.

Better news on the scheduling front for Andy Murray fans.
His last 16 match against Grigor Dimitrov is the second night match on the Rod Laver Arena tomorrow, meaning the match should start around 9:30am UK time.
It's not so good if you're a Rafael Nadal fan though as his match against Kevin Anderson is due to start at around 3am UK time.
Novak Djokovic looks like he's going to progress into the last 16 as he's currently two sets up on Fernando Verdasco and Stan Wawrinka is also through to the next round in straight sets.

Bloody awful start by Murray. First service game was torn apart.

First set Murray. 0-3 down to a 6-4 set win that was quite comfortable towards the end.

Murray breaks serve in the 2nd set, 2-1 and a set up now. Is it me or does Murray look even bigger and stronger than before?

The BBC only get involved in one semi and the final.
Murray breaks to serve for a two sets lead.

Important hold by Murray there.
But Dimitrov will now serve for the set at 5-3.

Dimitrov fails to serve for the set and it's now back on serve.
Murray serving at 4-5.
