Australian Open LIVE 2026: Aussie Walton faces Alcaraz hurdle; Sabalenka, Zverev in action

It’s all happening at Melbourne Park today, as the 2026 Australian Open main draw gets under way from 11am.

There are many big international stars in action, such as Jasmine Paolini, Aryna Sabalenka and Alexander Zverev, but there are also several Australians, many of whom will be hunting an upset on court today.

First up, it’s Talia Gibson on KIA Arena from 11am, and she’ll be taking on world No.62 Anna Blinkova. These two have never met on the court, but Blinkova is the favourite today.

Australian Tristain Schoolkate follows Gibson on KIA Arena, where he’ll play 32nd seed Corentin Moutet.

Qualifier Jason Kubler is third on John Cain Arena today, and he plays 29th seed Frances Tiafoe.

Tonight, poor Adam Walton has the almost-impossible task of facing off with world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz on Rod Laver Arena.
