Five Brits leave Australian Open after first round

For the first time since 1992, six Brits qualified for a Grand slam tournament, and two of the six were women under the age of twenty. Any elation was short-lived, however, as five out of the six were eliminated during the first round.

So, this leaves Andy Murray as our only hope of shining in the Australian Open. He has just beaten his first opponent, and many commentators seem to think that he is capable of going all the way, although some still feel that Roger Federer could deprive him of the chance of winning.

Fingers crossed, then, that Murray proves he is capable of winning the tournament.
