In the AO Men's Singles, defending champion Djokovic is the favorite. He added two majors to his gluttonous haul last year but has looked curiously fallible for the past couple of months and is nursing a wrist injury. He could face long-time foe Andy Murray in the third round should the Brit make it past 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry. Former Wimbledon semi-finalist Jannik Sinner, the fourth seed, is in Djokovic's half of the draw.
With 22-time major winner Rafa Nadal unable to compete, Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz, reigning US Open and Wimbledon champions respectively, will fancy their chances of winning a first crown Down Under. Drawn in the bottom half of the draw, they're potential semi-finalists.
In the Women's Singles, the field is dominated by recent Grand Slam winners. Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka is hunting down 2023 French Open winner Iga Swiatek at the top of the WTA rankings, with Coco Gauff full of confidence after winning her first major at the US Open. Marketa Vondrousova has the tricky game that unsuited plenty en route to the 2023 Wimbledon title.
Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu faces the similarly recuperating Shelby Rogers in the first round. Former champion Naomi Osaka fell to 16th Caroline Garcia in the tie of the first round.
All eyes are once again on Novak Djokovic as the defending champion aims to win the Australian Open for the 11th time and take his Grand Slam tally to 25. The Serbian enjoyed a remarkable 2023 as he won three of the four Slam titles, claimed a record-breaking seventh ATP Finals title and became the first player in singles to reach 400 weeks as world number one. Wow.
Djokovic will rightfully start as the overwhelming favorite but several contenders will be hoping to dethrone the 36-year-old. Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz defeated the Serb in last year’s Wimbledon final, while Jannik Sinner ended 2023 in style by beating Djokovic for the first time as he helped Italy win the Davis Cup. Two-time finalist Daniil Medvedev will also be a threat, as will the powerful Alexander Zverev. However, long-time rival Rafa Nadal will not be in Melbourne after picking up an injury earlier this month.
When it comes to the women’s singles, defending champion Aryna Sabalenka will expect a serious challenge from a number of rivals. Top seed Iga Swiatek has never reached a final in Melbourne Park but has four Slams to her name, while last year’s beaten finalist Elena Rybakina is getting back to her best and is now up to number three in the world rankings.
Aside from this trio, US Open champion Coco Gauff has started the year in excellent fashion with victory at the Auckland Classic, Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova is coming off the back of her best-ever year, while American Jessica Pegula and Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur will both feel like now is the time to win their first Grand Slam titles.

The 2024 Australian Open tennis tournament is off and running with first-round action set for Monday evening and through the night with constant coverage on ESPN’s family of networks and on ESPN+. The schedule for Monday night’s live coverage, which is actually the day session in Melbourne, Australia, includes primetime matches on ESPN2 and every single match airing on ESPN+.
The 2024 Australian Open is also a good time to take ESPN+ for a test ride with so much tennis action across the whole event, which runs from now through championship matches on Jan. 27 and 28. Every match of the 2024 Australian Open will be available to watch live or as replays later.
The 2024 Grand Slam calendar has officially kicked off today with the Australian Open. Held annually at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia, tennis' first major sees the return of many fan favorites. As for the players, the incentive to win this year is higher than ever, with historically high prize money up for grabs.
No tennis tournament quite sets the pulse for tennis each year like the Australian Open. Defending men's singles champion Novak Djokovic aims to further his record-breaking dominance while Iga Światek looks to back up her WTA Finals title.
Despite hitting 36 years of age, Djokovic is once again the men's tournament favorite, with the veteran looking to extend his record of ten titles Down Under. His likely main competition in Melbourne this month comes from Spanish youngster Carlos Alcaraz, having beaten Djokovic in last year's Wimbledon final to prevent the Serbian from claiming a clean sweep of 2023's Grand Slam titles. Former No. 1 Daniil Medvedev and Italy's Davis Cup hero Jannik Sinner also look like strong contenders coming into the tournament, while two-time winner Rafa Nadal has been forced to pull out due to injury.
Last year's women's competition saw Aryna Sabalenka claim her first Grand Slam, and the Belarusian is among the favorites for this year's crown, with the 25-year-old likely to face stiff competition from 2023 French Open winner Iga Swiatek and US Open champ Coco Gauff.
Having started on a Sunday (14th January) for the first time in its 119-year history, there's even more Australian Open than ever to enjoy this year. And with three days of first round action out of the way, we're now into the second round of the men's and women's singles draws.
On the men's side it's all about who can break Novak Djokovic's grip on the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup. With ten Australian Open titles to his name so far, the champion and world No.1 will fancy his chances of notching up a scarcely believable 25th major championship at Melbourne Park.
But it turns out that Djokovic is human after all – he suffered his first defeat on Aussie soil in over five years when he went down to local favorite Alex de Minaur at the United Cup at the start of the month, and then dropped a set against 18-year-old Dino Prizmic in the first round here. Suffering a persisting wrist injury, he faces young Aussie Alexei Popyrin next and the likes of Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Andrey Rublev, Wimbledon winner Carlos Alcaraz and last year's defeated finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas are all circling.
As ever in the women's bracket, there's a sense that anybody has a chance of going all the way. Aryna Sabalenka took top honors last year, but the rest of the 2023 Slams were shared out between Iga Swiatek, Marketa Vondrousova – who has already crashed out in the first round in Melbourne – and US prodigy Coco Gauff.
Throw in Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, Ons Jabeur and returning major winners Caroline Wozniacki and Emma Raducanu and you've got an intriguing looking tournament in store. Although 12 seeds have already been knocked out in the first two days, along with two-time champ Naomi Osaka.
