Some truly excellent play has marked the initial rounds Australian Open. Day 4 saw Rafael Nadal and Ashleigh Barty win but Naomi Osaka get bounced by Amanda Anisimova. This year’s Australian Open ignited a furor that caused headlines around the world. Novak Djokovic, the number one men’s player, hoped to notch his 21st major and break the record he holds with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. However, Djokovic was deported after his visa was cancelled on public health grounds. The Serbian star remains unvaccinated. There is also now doubt over his participation in the French Open later this year. But as Djokovic himself noted, the Australian Open is much more than one player. Tennis action continues into the weekend with matches featuring Daniil Medvedev, Stefano Tsitsipas, Aryna Sabalenka and Simona Halep. Here’s everything you need to watch the Australian Open 2022 live streams online.
