The 29-year-old Melzer made significant strides up both the singles and doubles rankings in a career-best 2010 for the Austrian. He reached his first Grand Slam singles semi-final at Roland Garros and clinched the Wimbledon doubles crown with German Philipp Petzschner. The left-hander also captured his hometown title in Vienna for the second year in a row.
The match will take place on Hisense Arena, beginning at 7pm local time (8am GMT, 10am Cyprus, 3am ET). Check out the full order of play here. If you are heading to Melbourne Park on Saturday, make sure you continue to give Marcos plenty of support!
