The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the season and sets the tone for the year ahead. Melbourne Park’s hard courts have produced memorable encounters in recent years, and the 2027 edition promises more of the same. Carlos Alcaraz returns as the defending men’s singles champion after completing his career Grand Slam in 2026, while Elena Rybakina defends the women’s title.

The time difference between Melbourne and the UK makes the Australian Open a unique viewing experience. Day sessions begin late at night UK time, while the night sessions conveniently fall during the UK morning. This means some of the best matches land at breakfast time for British fans, making it one of the more accessible overseas Grand Slams to follow live.

Key Matches to Watch at the Australian Open 2027

Carlos Alcaraz defends the title he won in 2026 to complete his career Grand Slam. The Spaniard arrives in Melbourne as the sport’s leading figure and will be looking to add a second Australian Open crown to his collection. His all-court game is perfectly suited to the medium-fast hard courts at Melbourne Park.

Jannik Sinner is a two-time Australian Open champion and knows these courts better than almost anyone in the current field. The Italian won back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025, and his baseline power and consistency make him the most dangerous challenger to Alcaraz.

Novak Djokovic has won the Australian Open ten times and his record at Melbourne Park is extraordinary. While time may be catching up with the Serbian legend, writing him off at his most successful Grand Slam would be unwise.

Elena Rybakina returns as the defending women’s champion. The Kazakh’s powerful serve and flat groundstrokes are highly effective on the Melbourne hard courts, and she will be confident of making another deep run.

Aryna Sabalenka won the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024 and considers Melbourne Park a second home. The Belarusian’s aggressive style and big-match temperament make her a perennial contender, while Coco Gauff also has the game to challenge on this surface.
