How to watch the 2023 Australian Open
The Australian Open is one of the most highly anticipated tournaments on the tennis calendar, and with very good reason.
All four Grand Slams are beloved, but Melbourne marks the end of a two month tennis off-season, so it does have that little something extra to it.
The 2023 tournament will see the start of a new era in it will be the first major since the retirements of icons Roger Federer and Serena Williams, and Novak Djokovic is back in the fold after his deportation problems last year.
So, how can you watch the 2023 Australian Open?
