The Australian Open gets under way on Sunday, with British No 1 Emma Raducanu and leading men’s hope Cameron Norrie both in action, along with tops seeds in the women’s and men’s draws, Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz.
The first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne takes place every day from midnight (UK and Ireland) each day on the outside courts and 12.30am on the show courts. Night sessions start at 8am.
Norrie is action through the night, the 26th seed third on court on the 1573 Arena against Benjamin Bonzi, while British qualifier Arthur Fery kicks off proceedings on the John Cain Arena against 20th seed Flavio Cobolli from midnight.
Raducanu, seeded 28th, is playing in the night session against Mananchaya Sawangkaew, second up on the Margaret Court Arena – with that match due to start at approximately 10am on Sunday morning.
Top seeds Sabalenka and Alcaraz headline the evening session on the Rod Laver Arena, with Sabalenka first playing Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah from 8am, before Alcaraz faces Adam Walton.
