From January 15 to 28, the city of Melbourne hosts the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam tennis tournament. Here’s how to follow it live streaming
The season of great tennis begins again. After the tournaments that inaugurated the season, it’s already time for the first Grand Slam tournament. On the courts of Melbourne Park the Australian Open 2018 is played, a tournament that will see the return of Novak Djokovic, after the injury that kept him away from tennis for the entire second half of last season.
The tournament will begin on Monday, January 15 with the first round and will continue until Sunday, January 28 with the final of the men’s singles. Being a Grand Slam tournament, both the men’s and women’s tournaments will be played simultaneously. And also the doubles tournaments. A great feast of tennis that will make fans happy. The only problem concerns the times: Melbourne’s time zone is ten hours ahead of ours and to see the first matches it is necessary to set the alarm clock at one in the morning. For the final, however, there will be no problem: both the men’s and the women’s will start at 9:30 am Italian time.
