  1. 6-3 - A shocking missed forehand volley from Meusburger and Jankovic has booked her place in the second round with a straight sets win

  2. 5-3 - Sure enough, a service hold makes all the difference and Meusburger will have to serve to stay in it

  3. 4-3 - Jankovic breaks for a third time. If she can just hold on to her serve now she should be home free in this match

  4. 3-3 - The traditional Jankovic meltdown? The Serb has dropped her serve for a second time in this set after a very ordinary game and Meusburger is still in this match

  5. 3-2 - Meusburger doubles her output in this set although she is forced to battle long and hard for it as Jankovic saves a number of game points

  6. 3-1 - This time Jankovic manages to hold on to her serve to cement the break after another unforced error from Meusburger on the forehand side

  7. 2-1 - Better again from Jankovic as she gets things back on track with another service break and another winner

  8. 1-1 - Meusburger has broken Jankovic straight back to level the second set, the Serb had been looking so good on her serve

  9. 1-0 - Jankovic has picked up the second set where she left off the first, breaking Meusburger's serve in the very opening game

  10. 6-1 - A very comfortable opening set for Jankovic then as she cruises through 6-1 with no difficulty whatsoever

  11. 5-1 - Much better from Meusburger, who finally gets herself on the scoreboard holding to love when Jankovic hits an attempted forehand down the line into the net

  12. 5-0 - Meusburger is getting desperate now as she throws up a defensive lob despite Jankovic standing on the baseline and being well position to play the ball should it have landed in. But it didn't and Jankovic holds to leave herself just one game from a lightning quick opening set

  13. 4-0 - Another error from Meusburger, this time on the forehand side sees Jankovic grab a second break of serve

  14. 3-0 - Jankovic races through her second service game to cement the break and she really is looking confident out on Rod Laver just now

  15. 2-0 - Jankovic is off and running as she breaks in just the second game of the match

  16. 1-0 - A decent opening service hold for Jankovic although it was a mixed first game from the world number one as she throws in a couple of winners and a couple of unforced errors

  17. 0-0 - Jankovic to get the match underway then ...

  18. 02:17 - The players are out on the court now and just beginning their warm-up. Meusburger won the toss and elected to receive first
