How to watch Australian Open 2022 and tennis live online from anywhere, schedule, draw

Once upon a time they called it the Happy Slam, but Novak Djokovic’s scrape with Australian authorities injected feverish fire into the proceedings. The feuds will of course be administered with a healthy dose of world-class tennis, perhaps some of the hand of the man himself. Read on as we explain how to watch an Australian Open live stream from anywhere – including ways to watch tennis absolutely FREE.

The only move Nole is interested in is the chance to become the most successful male player in the history of the game and that is up to the Australian authorities at the moment. World No. 1 Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have each won 20 Slams, and if the Serb escapes the clutches of Scott Morrison, few would bet against him Down Under.

It seems like an age has passed since Naomi Osaka won the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup. The Japanese star’s relationship with the sport has changed dramatically over the past 12 months, giving Ashleigh Barty perhaps her best chance to win her home slam for the first time or can Britain’s Emma Raducanu still once work its magic?

The Melbourne crowd is always in top form. Even at 50% capacity, the atmosphere will be rocking. Here’s how you can live stream Australian Open 2022 tennis from anywhere in the world.

Australian Open 2022 Draw

The big news in women’s singles is that top seed Ash Barty could face defending champion Naomi Osaka before they even reach the quarter-finals. They are on the same side of the draw as French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova, Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic, 2020 AO champion Sofia Kenin and No. 5 seed Maria Sakkari.

2020 runner-up and No. 3 seed Garbine Muguruza has a tough road to the final, with Simona Halep, Emma Raducanu and No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka potentially on her way, while a first meeting between runner-up US Open Leylah Fernandez and 2016 champion Angelique Kerber could be on the cards, and 2020 French Open winner Iga Swiatek could face 2019 AO runner-up Petra Kvitova.

In the men’s draw, an Aussie Open final showdown between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal will not take place as they are on the same side of the draw, with Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini, Olympic gold medalist Alexander Zverev and rising star Denis Shapovalov.

US Open champion Daniil Medvedev and fellow fiery Russian Andrey Rublev are on the same side of the draw, which is packed with great talent and personalities. Medvedev could have an early clash with Nick Kyrgios, which is sure to send the crowd into a frenzy, while other big names include Diego Schwartzman, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Jannik Sinner, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud and Andy Murray.
