The great and the good of the tennis world are Down Under for the first Grand Slam of the year.
Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka are looking to defend their Australian Open singles titles after triumphing at Melbourne Park last year.
All eyes will be on Andy Murray, however, as the retired star will be in Novak Djokovic’s corner trying to help the Serb to a record-extending 25th Grand Slam.
