Schedule, TV, live stream for tennis tournament

As the New Year celebrations come to a close, anticipation is building for the first tennis major of the season, the 2025 Australian Open. The Grand Slam tournament begins on Saturday in the United States, due to the 16-hour time difference from Melbourne, Australia.

Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner, the defending champions and current number 1 players in the world, go into the Australian Open with the hope of defending their titles. Sinner in particular is looking to move past the controversies of 2024 after escaping a ban in March for failing two doping tests. He was found to be “not guilty of negligence” as he explained that he had used a spray containing the steroid to treat a cut on his finger.

On the other hand, Sabakenka started the 2025 season with success after winning a warm-up tournament in Brisbane, Australia. She defeated Polina Kudermetova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to earn her 18th career win.

Novak Djokovic remains the King of Australia and he travels Down Under aiming to win a record 11th singles title and the 25th Grand Slam title of his illustrious career in Melbourne. Djokovic is bringing with him another tennis legend as coach: Andy Murray, his former rival who just ended his playing career last year.

Here’s the Australian Open 2025 schedule to make sure you don’t miss any of the action:
