The second round of the 2018 Australian Open gets underway on Tuesday, and it will do so without Venus Williams, who lost in her opening match. Play on Tuesday begins at 7 p.m. ET, and will run through Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. In Melbourne, play will run at normal hours on Wednesday.

The Tennis Channel will have coverage from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET, at which point ESPN 2 will broadcast the remainder of the evening and into the hours of the morning. Live streaming can be found via WatchESPN.

Rafael Nadal, the men’s top seed, will play his second-round matchup against Leonardo Mayer. The highest-seeded woman on the day is Caroline Wozniacki, the second seed who will face Jana Fett on Tuesday.

Elina Svitolina, the women’s fourth seed, is a very popular pick to win it. She’ll face Katerina Siniakova on Tuesday. Jelena Ostapenko, the seventh seed, is the other top-10 woman on the day, and she will be going against Ying-Ying Duan.

On the men’s side, No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov will take on Mackenzie McDonald. The sixth-seeded Marin Cilic will face Joao Sousa, and No. 10 Pablo Carreno Busta has a very tough second-round matchup against Gilles Simon.
