Australian Open 2022 schedule: full draws, TV coverage, channels and more to watch every tennis match
The first Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year, the Australian Open, begins on Monday, January 17.
The tournament has made headlines in recent months after it was announced that players would have to be vaccinated. World number one Novak Djokovic, who is not vaccinated, was eventually deported and will not compete after making several appeals to the Australian immigration office after his visa was refused.
Djokovic, who has won this tournament nine times, is the defending men’s singles champion, with Naomi Osaka the defending women’s singles champion.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Australian Open 2022, including a full TV schedule, full draw, betting odds and matches playing today.
