The first day of the Australian Open is on Monday, January 16th and we bring you some interesting matches from the first day that you should check out.

As always at the Australian Open, play will start at 11:00 local time which is 01:00 CET. There are some amazing matches that will start at that time and we will bring you all the interesting ones from the first day. The top match of the day is clearly Nadal against Draper as the British player gets a chance to oust the defending champion.

We also have an interesting matchup on the WTA side as former champions Azarenka and Kenin battle it out in round one. Neither is playing that great at the moment but that should make for an exciting clash. Kyle Edmund will also be making his return to the event after missing several years with injury.
