British hopefuls Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray have come and gone but locals heroes Nick Kyrgios and Ash Barty have the chance of doing their nation proud in both the women’s final and the men’s doubles. Quite astonishingly the last of these is an all-Australian affair.

World no. 27 Danielle Collins is the player that stands in Barty’s way. Perhaps she can be the first to take at least one set off the home girl?

In the men’s singles it’s all about Spain’s Rafael Nadal and his quest to become the most decorated men’s tennis player of all time, all while the unvaccinated pre-tournament favourite, Novak Djokovic, can only watch from home. Will Rafa win or will Djoko be chuckling into his popcorn as big Daniil Medvedev powers through?

The Melbourne crowd is always on top form. Even at 50 percent capacity the atmosphere will be rocking. Here’s how you can live stream Australian Open 2022 tennis from wherever you are in the world.
