Australian Open 2024 TV Schedule: Day-by-day Listings for Entire Tournament
In the 2024 Australian Open's men's draw, Novak Djokovic is seeking a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam, which would move him one past Margaret Court (24 Grand Slam titles).
The Serbian No. 1 seed has won in Melbourne a total of 10 times and has reached at least the fourth round of the Australian Open in 15 of the last 17 years.
While Djokovic is once again the expected favorite to raise the trophy come January 28, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Daniil Medvedev will be among some players looking to prevent that.
The Serbian was tested in the early parts of Sunday morning, needing more than four hours to dispatch Dino Prizmic in the opening round of the 2024 Australian Open.
On the women's side, Aryna Sabalenka is looking to defend her points and hoist her second Grand Slam title.
The world No. 2 got off to a dominant start Sunday morning, defeating Ella Seidel 6-1, 6-0.
However, the women's draw is full of experienced players, with a total of six former Australian Open champions, highlighted by Naomi Osaka, who missed the 2023 season while pregnant with her first child.
Here's everything you need to know for the 2024 Australian Open, including a day-by-day TV schedule for the event and a preview of both the men's and women's draw.

Men's Preview
2 of 3
Novak Djokovic has once again emerged as the favorite to hoist his 25th Grand Slam trophy and his 11th here in Melbourne.
Yet, things got off to a bit of a rocky start for world No. 1 early Sunday morning, as he needed more than four hours just to dispatch qualifier Dino Prizmic.
While the Serbian has been dealing with a wrist issue since his loss to Australian and hometown favorite Alex De Minaur in the United Cup earlier this month, Djokovoic reassured fans when he told reporters that he felt great while practicing and was pain-free.
Among Djokovic's most difficult suitors are expected to be Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Jannik Sinner.
Hard-court specialists Andrey Rublev and Taylor Fritz are also expected to be tough outs in Melbourne, but both got off to a tough start, needing five sets each to get by their opponents.
With Nadal's sudden withdrawal due to injury, Stan Wawrinka is now the only other former Australian Open winner in the men's draw.
Still, this is a treacherous draw for Djokovic to manuever, loaded with tons of young talent—some we've already seen in Dino Prizmic, who, though given little odds to advance, mightily tested the Serbian great.
Djokovic is expected to go the distance again, though his competitors are drawing closer and closer, and it would not be surprising to see him lose to Jannik Sinner in the semifinals.
Women's Preview
3 of 3
On the women's side, any hopes world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka has of repeating will be tested by the five other former Australian Open champions in the women's draw.
In her opening match this morning, Sabalenka's dominance looked routine, dropping just one total game and needing just less than an hour to defeat her opponent.
While Sabalenka is no doubt among the favorites, or possibly the favorite to repeat as winner, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek is always a threat, as is Coco Gauff, who just months ago at the 2023 US Open Final, defeated Aryna Sabalenka.
Likewise, Elena Rybakina will be looking for revenge, as just a year ago she was the only women's player to grab a set off Sabalenka in the 2023 Australian Open's final.
Judging by Sabalenka's previous success at the Australian Open, it is expected she once again reaches the final, though, as evident by the plethora of experience, this is for anyone's taking.
Expect Coco Gauff to again give Sabalenka a run for her money and possibly defeat her again.
Iga Swiatek, too, looks poised for a long run after falling short last year, losing in the fourth round to Rybakina.
