It’s “Summer Down Under” as ESPN brings tennis fans in North America every match from every round of the 2023 Australian Open live from Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia.
Exclusive coverage begins Sunday, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN platforms. Live “first ball to last ball” coverage across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ will include all matches from all 16 courts, with every match in its entirety streaming live on ESPN+.
There will be more than 68 hours of live coverage on ESPN and ESPN2 (up from 44 in 2022); more than 110 live hours of Spanish-language television coverage on ESPN Deportes (up from 18 in 2022).
Comprehensive coverage will culminate with the Women’s and Men’s Championships on January 28 and 29, respectively, at 3:30 a.m. ET on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+.
This is ESPN’s 39th annual presentation of this Australian Open, representing its longest uninterrupted professional sports programming relationship. ESPN has held the rights to the event since 1984.
ESPN’s tennis announcers, analysts and studio hosts for the Australian Open are (in alphabetical order by their last name): James Blake, Darren Cahill, Chrissie Evert, Mary Joe Fernandez, Chris Fowler, Brad Gilbert, Jason Goodall, John McEnroe, Patrick McEnroe, Chris McKendry, Pam Shriver, Rennae Stubbs.
No. 1 Iga Swiatek considered the best women’s player of the year by far, not only winning second and third Majors at French Open and US Open but also going on 37-match winning streak, the longest WTA winning streak in 25 years. No. 2 Ons Jabeur, arguably the second-best women’s player of the year, especially in terms of Majors, where she was the only woman other than Swiatek to reach multiple Major finals. Jessica Pegula No 3., had a breakthrough season that saw her reach a career-high of No.3 in October and finish the year there. Pegula’s win over Swiatek at the United Cup last Friday was her first career win over a World No.1. No. 4, Caroline Garcia, one of the hottest women’s players in the second half of the year, rising from No.75 the week before Wimbledon to No. 4 by year’s end. No. 5 Aryna Sabalenka, though she didn’t win any titles last year she stayed ranked in the No. 2 to No. 7 range the entire year (finishing the year at No.5)
American Women to watch: Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff and Madison Keys
No. 3 Pegula is now a consistent Grand Slam performer as she reached the quarter-final of three of majors last year, and starts the year as the world No 3. No. 7 Gauff has capped a commanding start to the new season by winning the ASB Classic in New Zealand, her third WTA Tour title but her first in years on hard courts, boosting her confidence ahead of the Australian Open. No. 10 Madison Keys just returned to the Top 10 for the first time in more than three years this week, rising from No. 11 to No. 10 after her United Cup showing.
The 36-year-old No.1 Rafael Nadal makes his 18th appearance at the AO and arrives in Melbourne as the defending champion looking to win a record-extending 23rd Grand Slam title. No. 2 Casper Ruud, still only 24, still under the radar, quietly finished 2022 with two Major finals and an ATP Finals runner-up. The 24-year-old Greek star, No.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, finished 2022 as the Tour’s leader in match wins and will be hoping to convert that into a first Major title. No. 4 Novak Djokovic is back. The 9-time champion returns as the tournament favorite. He has won his last 34 matches in Australia following his Adelaide title. No. 5 Andrey Rublev, the 25-year-old, who is 0-6 in Major QFs, will be hoping this is the year he can break that streak.
American Men to watch: Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe
No. 8, Fritz aims to become the first American to win the Australian Open men’s singles tournament in 20 years. The legendary Andre Agassi is the last U.S.-born player to have won it. No. 16 Tiafoe was one of the big revelations of the 2022 US Open and this month helped lead TEAM USA to victory in the inaugural edition of the United Cup.
The following are the Australian Open tennis events including dates, start times, and TV networks. All times Eastern.
