Coco Gauff, Andy Murray, Naomi Osaka, Daniil Medvedev and Ons Jabeur all play on the second day of the 2024 Australian Open.
The first Monday would normally mark the start of the Grand Slam, but this year it has been extended 15 days and play began on Sunday.
Gauff and Medvedev will both open the play on the main show courts on Monday, while Rod Laver Arena will finish with a headline clash between two-time winner Osaka and 16th seed Caroline Garcia.
How to watch and stream the 2024 Australian Open
Eurosport is home to round-the-clock coverage from Melbourne, with play starting at midnight in the UK each day.
Top men’s match – Felix Auger-Aliassime v Dominic Thiem
The two standout men’s matches look to have been scheduled for the night session.
Home favourite Alex de Minaur has had an excellent start to the year, including beating Novak Djokovic at the United Cup and breaking into the top 10 in the world rankings for the first time.
He has a tricky-looking opener against former Wimbledon runner-up Milos Raonic on Rod Laver Arena.
The pick of the matches could be Felix Auger-Aliassime v Dominic Thiem, which is last on Margaret Court Arena.
Auger-Aliassime had a big dip in form last season and is now down at No. 27 in the world rankings. He will be looking to avoid a fourth successive first-round loss at Grand Slams.
Thiem won just one Grand Slam match in 2023 as he continues to try to work his way back to the top following injury issues.
This one could go the distance.
Top women’s match – Caroline Garcia v Naomi Osaka
The Australian Open holds some good memories for Naomi Osaka.
It is where she has lifted two of her four Grand Slam trophies, including her most recent career title in 2021.
This will be her first major since the 2022 US Open having returned to the tour this month after giving birth in July.
