As Australian Open 2026 moves into the second round, Australian home hopes Alex de Minaur and Priscilla Hon headline the night’s play at Rod Laver Arena.

Getting the day under way at RLA, world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka takes on Chinese qualifier Bai Zhuoxuan, and four-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz will be waiting in the wings to take the next step in his bid to complete the career Grand Slam as he faces German world No.45 Yannick Hanfman.
Elsewhere, Elina Svitolina and Daniil Medvedev lead the day session at John Cain Arena, with No.3 seed and last year’s finalist Alexander Zverev taking on Frenchman Alexandre Muller in the evening.
Coco Gauff, Mirra Andreeva and Frances Tiafoe are all in action at Margaret Court Arena on a day stacked with exciting match-ups and potential upsets.
Play starts at 11.30am at Rod Laver and Margaret Court Arenas, and at 11am on all other courts.
