The Australian Open 2024 begins with a packed agenda Down Under at Melbourne Park this Sunday.

Rod Laver Arena will witness two of the greatest players on the planet in the shape of men’s world No.1 Novak Djokovic and women’s World No.2 Aryna Sabalenka as they each face unseeded opposition.

Jannik Sinner begins the action on the main court with a tough first-round encounter against Botic van de Zandschulp, while Jodie Burrage is the British player to watch on Day 1.

Fans will be treated to some inevitably huge matches over the weeks to come as seeded players collide in the later rounds.

However, until then, expect surprise results and impressive underdog performances to litter the schedule each day.
