Australian Open:-2012
Five other Britons to play first-round matches on Monday
Tuesday start for Murray
Andy Murray will open his Australian Open campaign in Melbourne on Tuesday.
Monday's order of play was published on Saturday and
Murray's name was not on it.
The top half of the men's draw, including defending champion Novak Djokovic and Murray,
will not play until Tuesday.
Murray's first-round opponent is American Ryan Harrison.
The other five British players in the singles draws will, however, play on the tournament's opening day.
Heather Watson will get proceedings under way on Melbourne Park's main court, the Rod Laver Arena, against third seed Victoria Azarenka.
That match will take place at 0001 GMT on Monday.
Night session
Laura Robson will also make a show court appearance - she's fourth on the Margaret Court Arena against former world number one Jelena Jankovic.
Court 11 will be the place to be if you are a British fan though, with James Ward, Elena Balatcha and Anne Keothavong all in action there.
Qualifier Ward will be first up against Slovenia's Blaz Kavcic. Baltacha's clash with Stephanie Foretz Gacon will be third match on and they will be followed by Keothavong against Mona Barthel, the German who warmed up for the tournament by winning the Hobart International.
Monday's schedule also features defending women's champion Kim Clijsters, while the night session matches on Rod Laver Arena will see Roger Federer and Caroline Wozniacki in action.
