Australian Open 2023 order of play: Day 1 tennis schedule with Rafael Nadal and Emma Raducanu in action

The main draw of the Australian Open is here with the first Grand Slam action of 2023.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal is among those getting their campaigns underway on Monday, though faces a tricky test on Rod Laver against Britain’s in-form Jack Draper.

Later on the same court, women’s world number Iga Swiatek looks to pick up from where she left off last year, while Daniil Medvedev, a beaten finalist in each of the last two finals in Melbourne, faces Marcos Giron.

Emma Raducanu is in action first up on 1573 Arena, though her fitness is far from certain as she continues to try and recover from an ankle injury. British number one Cameron Norrie should have little trouble in getting past Luca Van Assche.
