The first grand slam tennis tournament of the year, the Australian Open, begins on Monday, Jan. 17.
The tournament has made headlines the last few months after announcing players would be required to be vaccinated. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who is unvaccinated, ultimately was deported and won’t compete after going through multiple appeals with the Australian immigration office after his visa was declined.
Djokovic, who has won this tournament nine times, is the defending men’s singles champion, with Naomi Osaka the defending champion on the women’s singles side.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2022 Australian Open, including a full TV schedule, the full draw, betting odds and what matches are happening today.
