Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek and 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic get their Australian Open campaigns under way - listen to BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra coverage and follow text updates.

On Sunday, the Australian Open began in Melbourne, with the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, Alexander Zverev and Emma Raducanu all winning their opening round matches. On Monday, other favourites such as Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek will begin their quests for the title.

Novak Djokovic has hit out at reports he was nearly forced to withdraw from the Australia Open as a result of a neck injury.

Federer, a six-time Australian Open winner and 20-time Grand Slam champion, partnered with past champions Andre Agassi and then Ash Barty in an exhibition doubles match against Pat Rafter and Lleyton Hewitt as the main feature of the program.

Going into the 2026 season, one of the main questions being posed was how much longer Djokovic would stay in the game. And after meeting his former rival, Schwartzman seemingly asked the 38-year-old himself the question.

First-round action continues at Melbourne Park, with a number of stars in action, including Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic, and Alex Eala. Follow our live blog here.
