2017 Australian Open: Schedule, TV coverage, and live stream for Tuesday

The second day of the 2017 Australian Open will get underway on Monday evening in the United States, and will continue through Tuesday morning. For the players in Melbourne, play will begin at a normal hour on Tuesday and run to the evening, but the time difference means it’s a bit difficult to watch things overseas.

But it’s definitely worth watching. On the men’s side, all of Novak Djokovic, Milos Raonic, and Rafael Nadal will be in action. On the women’s side, Serena Williams, Agnieszka Radwanska, and others will be playing. Monday’s action gets underway at 9 p.m. ET and will run through 7 a.m. Tuesday morning. Television coverage of the day’s matches will be carried by ESPN.

A live stream of all matches will be available online via WatchESPN. There will also be matches streamed via Tennis Channel Everywhere.

Djokovic may have the toughest opener of any of the big-name players. He’s facing Fernando Verdasco, a former top-10 player who always has the skills to beat the best, but lacks consistency. Verdasco fought Djokovic to match point five times a week ago, but the Serb managed to win that match in the end. Now they’re set to play again.

Nadal, the No. 9 seed, will face Florian Mayer in his opener. Raonic has the hard-serving Dustin Brown to deal with. No. 6 seed Gael Monfils and eighth-seeded Dominic Thiem are the other top-10 seeds in action for the men, and they will face Jiri Vesely and Jan-Lennard Struff, respectively.

On the women’s side, Williams will open her bid to reclaim her No. 1 ranking against Belinda Bencic. It’s a tough opener, perhaps the toughest for any seeded woman. Radwanska, the No. 3 seed, will face Tsvetana Pironkova. No. 5 seed Karolina Pliskova, No. 6 seed Dominika Cibulkova, and No. 9 seed Johanna Konta will all be in action against Sara Sorribes Tormo, Denisa Allertova, and Kirsten Flipkens, respectively.
