The second round of the 2018 Australian Open continues on Wednesday (or Thursday for the players in Melbourne). Roger Federer and Simona Halep are the top seeds in action for the men’s and women’s singles brackets.

Play begins at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday evening, which is Thursday morning local time. The Tennis Channel will have television coverage through 9 p.m., at which point ESPN2 will pick up coverage through 7 a.m. on Thursday morning. Live streaming of all courts can be had via WatchESPN.

Federer will be in action against Jan Lennard Struff as he tries to make it two Australian Open wins in a row. He’s nearing the end of his career, but he’s still playing at an incredibly high level. He’s fresh, and should make short work of Struff on Wednesday.

Halep is still searching for her first Grand Slam title, and she has a tough second-round match against Eugenie Bouchard to deal with on Wednesday. The next highest-seeded player on the day is Garbine Muguruza, the third seed for the women. She will be playing Su-Wei Hsieh on Wednesday.

No. 6 Karolina Pliskova, No. 8 Caroline Garcia and No. 9 Johanna Konta will all be in action against unseeded competition in Beatriz Haddad Maia, Marketa Vondrousova and Bernarda Pera, respectively. Other top 10 seeds in action for the men include No. 4 Alexander Zverev, No. 5 Dominic Thiem, No. 7 David Goffin and No. 9 Stan Wawrinka.
